Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are set to benefit from an FIA rule which will give Mercedes more wind tunnel testing time for their W13.
The Silver Arrows are set to be afforded more time for aerodynamic testing in the second half of the season, given their performance so far this year. Wind tunnel time is currently capped under FIA regulations, with each team given an allocation based on results.
As the 2021 constructors' champions, Mercedes saw their aero testing time most restricted for the first half of the current season. But they have now been knocked off their perch, and are third in the pecking order behind Red Bull and Ferrari after the first nine races.
