Mercedes engineer honoured for life-saving invention.
Ben Hodgkinson has been honoured by the Queen after the Mercedes head of mechanical engineering designed a life-saving device to help the NHS in the early stages of the pandemic.

Hodgkinson was awarded a British Empire Medal after he led an effort at Mercedes’ factory to design a new CPAP [continuous positive airway pressure] device to aid the NHS, with the government having had worries about a lack of ventilators available.
The Mercedes team gave him permission to work on the project, repurposed their factory and worked flat out for 10 days to bring the designs to life, with Hodgkinson having been contacted by University College Hospital to collaborate and ‘reverse engineer’ an older design and reproduce it as quickly as possible.
When he was informed of his honour, Hodgkinson said “it was completely unexpected. It’s a hell of a thing,” but he feels NHS staff are the ones who deserve credit.
“I am proud that I did it but I also do not feel as worthy as some,” Hodgkinson told the Northampton Chronicle and Echo. “What I did was work incredibly hard for about three weeks.
“There are doctors and nurses who have been working in these conditions, day and night, for months and months.
“I helped as much as I possibly could and it was something that I knew how to do. It was just my duty.

Radical Mercedes W13 with no sidepods?

Mercedes, new car for Hamilton and Russell at the tests in Bahrain. And already mounts the controversy
A completely revolutionized W13 without bellies is expected in Sakhir: the rumors about the performance in the simulator are monstrous, the doubts of the other teams about the regularity.
This should start short spice & the Helmut off...
