So what was that Rocket Engine about last year? After Brazil, Merc seemed to just be able to produce WAY more power - meaning Lewis could start LITERALLY AT THE BACK in the sprint race and still win the race on Sunday.

So how did they do it? And will they be able to do the same thing in 2022?

We’ve got Scarbs back to help explain - let's go!

Right, so back in Brazil we first saw this ‘Rocket Engine’ or as Mercedes called it - the Spicy Engine.

They seemed to have an OUTRAGEOUS power advantage on the rest of the field, with Hamilton reeling in cars from SECONDS back on that long-ish back straight.

And yet - the teams were not allowed to change anything about that engine. So was it a secret upgrade? Or did they just find some extra power?
