It is a Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance that returns to silver after two years modified to black to “start from scratch”, according to Torger Christian “Toto” Wolff, “main team” and CEO of the team.
The new team, adapted to the new regulations in force, is “98 percent” different from its predecessor, said Wolf, who stated: “We did quite well during the last big regulatory change towards the hybrid era and we did well when we passed from narrow to wide cars in 2017”.
And he added: “While we have a good track record, my message is clear: we can’t rely on past successes for this year’s performance, but we can rely on our people, our culture, our structure and our mindset to do the best job possible for 2022.”.
Hamilton, for his part, denied rumors of a possible departure from the category. “I never thought about stopping. I love what I do, it is a privilege to be in Mercedes and Formula 1, although I have had a difficult time and I needed to be with my family, calm down, and recover my strength,” he said.
Along these lines, he continued: “I am very happy with the changes made by the FIA and delighted with the work done on W13 at the factory. It takes you back to when you were a child and it is always exciting to watch. With this new era, we have never seen a such a drastic change, it’s a change in so many things that it was interesting to see the designers coming together to find the best creations.”
“We have no idea how we will handle it. We have done laps in the simulator but we don’t know for sure its correlation with the track. I think I will make George Russell go out first in shakedown”, joked the Briton, and closed: “I really hope that these new cars deliver what they have told us they will deliver but, again, this is a first step, and it will evolve during the year.
