Just browsing on my phone and notice this, and it seems very interesting. http://jalopnik.com/mercedes-f1s-secret-is-it-split-its-turbo-in-half-1558154190

Give me about $250,000,000 for R&D. We'll get started right away.

This is neat! But another problem it creates is the larger/longer rotational mass between the fans. Since the shaft is longer, there's more mass to rotate. In a game of milliseconds, this may matter, but the engineers probably know that and the cooler-running compressor is worth it.
