The 2022 Formula 1 season brings with it two debutants. The first is the Mercedes-AMG Black Series. With safety car status, this Mercedes will make its debut in the highest category of motorsports and will share its obligations with the Aston Martin Vantage . Each will take over half of the races.
The second is the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ , which will play its role as a medical car. As in the case of the safety car, the German car will alternate with the Aston Martin DB SUV . In this way, they will contribute to the safety of Formula 1 thanks to these two services that will make the jump to the track during the next test in Bahrain.
Designed to offer a quick and safe response on the track, both models will present the characteristic red color registered last year, and the safety car adds Crowdstrike as a sponsor.
Signage is integrated into vehicles for the first time: The safety car will not have a light bar on top of the roof, but instead will have new signage integrated into the windshield as well as at the rear of the car.
The rear license plate is another element that will light up in order to give instructions to the drivers during the races. The safety car will also feature lights in the side windows so spectators around the circuit will know when it is going to retire and the action will start again.
Inside the cockpit, Bernd Maylander , official safety car driver since 2000, will remain in his position. “The car is a big step forward compared to last year’s GT R, which was already at a very high level. Working in a space like that in the name of safety is a dream come true.”
Maylander will be accompanied by Richard Darker, his co-driver, who will have two monitors at his disposal to keep the race under control should his appearance be necessary.
“Since 1996, that’s every year for more than a quarter of a century, Mercedes has taken it upon itself to provide Formula 1 with emergency vehicles,” said Christoph Sagemüller, Head of Motorsports at Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
“In their role as the Official Safety Car of Formula 1, our cars have safely led the F1 grid around the track when their presence has been required due to bad weather or in the event of an incident. , our Official Formula 1 Medical Car, has been on site as soon as possible.”
“To ensure this, we have further enhanced our most powerful models yet for the 2022 season, the AMG GT Black Series and AMG GT 63 S. What’s more, their track appearances demonstrate the most powerful motorsport DNA than any of his predecessors.
