Mercedes will introduce its first engine upgrade of the 2019 Formula 1 season at this weekend’s Canad💃ian Grand Prix.

As expected, the reigning world champion squad has brought a new pow🔴er unit, dubbed “Phasꦆe 2”, to Montreal as it looks to make it seven wins out of seven.

The German manufacturer has confir♈med its latest engine will be made available to all six Mercedes-powered cars this weekend, including works drivers Lewis Ham♔ilton and Valtteri Bottas.

In recent seasons, teams have traditio♏nally brought their first power unit upgrades of the year to the power-sensitive Circuit Gilles Ville𓂃neuve venue.

Championship leader Hamilton said Me🦋rcedes’ latest engine will bring “slig⭕ht improvements everywhere”.

"💛On the engine side, the guys back at Brixworth have been working incredibly hard," Hamilton explained. 

"It has not been the easiest beginning of the year in terms of preparing an engine. W♊hile it’s an evolut♚ion of previous years, each time you are always trying to push the envelope. So many people working so hard to improve it.

"As I have said, it’s not been the smoothest ride,🥃 but we have had great reliability with the first engine. It is always great when you have a new engine, being it’s fresh. This is a power circuit, so it’s come at the perfect time you. If look at previous years, th𝔍is is always the race where we bring second engine.

"It is phase two, so it will haveཧ all new mods, slight improvements everything. It’s not like at the beginning of the hybrid era where you make massive strides forwards or even last year. It’s small steps.

"The biggest difference is that it’s brand new, it’s fresh. The old engine has done 🍰six races, it will have degradation etc. The guys have worked so hard, it’s now small percentages, it’s very much appreciated."

Unlike Mercedes, rival squad Ferrari brought forward its first engine u🎐pgrade of the season by four weeks at the Spanish Grand Prix in May.
