Mercedes, very far from the performance of the best in a year in which they have not even been able to compete. Neither lewis hamilton neither George Russell have been able to compete with max verstappen and his Red Bull. Something that has made the veteran pilot, seven times Formula 1 champion, desperate and angry at times. Mercedes, in the mouth of Toto Wolff, has recognized the “mistakes” that have condemned the team. The head of the team has done so on the official podcast of the ‘Beyond The Grid’ competition: “We won the Constructors’ Championship in December and in March We were in no man’s land.” “We underestimated the challenge of running with the car so low and the rivals have done a better job, they have been more focused in c...

Many manufacturers are betting on hydrogen again after a few years in which this technology had been doubted. Toyota is one of them, since it has a production vehicle in its range and has also investigated its application in competition and also in bodies such as pick-ups.

It is a way of showing that they remain committed to the multi-technology approach and carbon neutrality in the long term. They do it with a Toyota Corolla Cross, the compact SUV that is about to hit our converted market to adopt hydrogen combustion technology. In fact, it mounts a motor of 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with direct hydrogen injection high pressur...
