What is the Mercedes-AMG F1 Racing Team Driving for 2022?

Seeing as the Mercedes-AMG won last year’s championship, expectations are high. After all, the brand has won the “Constructors Award” eight years in a row. Niagara-on-the-Lake drivers interested in learning about the Mercedes-AMG F1 racing car for 2022, the W13, can find all currently-known info about the model below:

• Overall, the W13 features 98% new design elements compared to its predecessor.
• AMG is uncertain of how fast the W13 is, so no specs are public.
• We do know it features a new rear wing for increased aerodynamics.
• It also features 45.7-cm wheels, up from the previous model’s 33-cm wheels.
• It comes equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged V-6, as well as two motor-generators, one of which is installed on the driveline. The other is built into the turbocharger on the engine.
• Mercedes-AMG embraced black paint colours to celebrate diversity and inclusion in the last two previous F1 tournaments. This year, the W13 features a three-tone black, silver, and turquoise exterior in an effort to pay tribute to the colours of their sponsors and the team’s commitment to inclusivity (black).
