Video: This is how Mercedes presented its car for F1 2022, the W13

On Friday morning (in Great Britain and Spain) the new Mercedes car for the 2022 Formula 1 season was presented, the W13 that Lewis Hamilton and the team’s signing, George Russell, will drive.

It will be the first single-seater of the German team adapted to the new F1 rules, a car that is eagerly awaited to see what the team that has dominated with an iron fist since 2014 has been capable of. And despite the fact that Max Verstappen took the 2021 drivers’ title, Mercedes winning its eighth successive constructors’ crown over Red Bull.

Precisely his rival did not show his real car in the presentation of the RB18, however, Mercedes did seem to do so.

In this way, at 10:00 a.m. in Spain we learned about the decoration of the new Mercedes car for 2022, revealing one of the biggest doubts, its return to the silver color.

On the live broadcast we were able to hear interviews with team principal Toto Wolff and drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell . In fact, it was the first time we could hear Hamilton after the already historic 2021 Abu Dhabi GP beyond that video congratulating the Chinese New Year.

Mercedes’ F1 car for 2022 is called W13 , following the name they adopted when they returned to the top flight as an official team in 2010.

With Mercedes, eight of the ten teams that make up the F1 grid for the 2022 season have already presented (at least their decorations).

The next one will be Alpine, whose A522 we will know on Monday, February 21, before on the 27th, after the Barcelona tests, we see the final decoration of Alfa Romeo.

The W13 will be added to this list of cars in the history of Mercedes in F1
