Lowe plays down ’traction control’ system
"There is no single part that makes our car so successful"
Paddy Lowe has played down reports about a legal ’traction control’-style system aboard Mercedes’ dominant 2016 car.
The reports indicated the FIA and rival teams cannot move to ban the system - a version of which has reportedly also been developed by Red Bull - until 2018.
Mercedes’ technical chief Lowe told Germany’s Auto Bild: "There is no single part that makes our car so successful.
"Rather, it is the optimal interaction of all the components and the product of the greatest engineering work that I have ever experienced," he added.
