(UTV|COLOMBO) – Reliability concerns have forced Mercedes to delay using a new engine that had been planned for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, the BBC Sport reported.
The world champions said “quality issues” meant their second-generation 2018 power-unit would be used at the subsequent race in France instead.
The team will now race with an engine towards the end of its life at a circuit where power is important.
But Mercedes said the decision would not affect performance or reliability.
