And Qin Miao's battery pack is the most extraordinary component for Mercedes this season, because it lasted a full 19 races on Qin Miao's car, and so far, it hasn't had any faults.
Now it's being replaced not because there's any problem with the battery pack, but mainly because the team is considering that if they don't replace it, the other pack would go to waste?
So they did a preventive replacement for Qin Miao. Although confident that there wouldn't be any problems, replacing it with a new one will definitely offer better output and storage, and also prevent any issues during the races.
In short, during the Mexican Grand Prix, Qin Miao replaced the entire engine power component of his car.
However, this news might affect other teams' strategy choices during the race and qualifying stages, and if exposed too early, Qin Miao could be targeted on the track by other teams joining forces.
It's well-known that Red Bull has two teams, four cars, and nothing they do is surprising.
