Formula 1: This is Lewis Hamilton’s new Mercedes car

The F1 World Champion restored the silver color of her cars and unveiled her new car for 2022, the W13, to be driven by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at the Brockley factory.

For Mercedes F1, 2022 is perhaps more of a challenge than any other team as the radically changed technical regulations of its cars take away the lead it has held constant since the last change in 2017 and forced it to finish the W13 in white to design and not to further develop last year’s plan of the top W12.

Another important change in the team is the replacement of Valteri Botas in the second cockpit, also after 2017, with George Russell – one of the most important and capable talents of the new generation. However, the presence of Botas would provide a stable understanding of the unprecedented car in the early stages of its development and customization.

After two years of keeping its cars black and supporting the campaign against social discrimination, Mercedes returns to the traditional silver of Alfred Neubauer’s “Silver Arrows” story with the new W13.

The car’s design is particularly impressive down to the last detail, especially in its maze-like floor, and it’s evident that the W13 unveiled by Mercedes today is largely its real race car – and not a demo with its new colors. .

Hamilton and Russell will complete the first few kilometers of the new W13 at Silverstone today to allow the team to track the operation of the car’s systems before winter development testing begins next Wednesday 23/2. in Barcelona, ​​​​Spain.

Stay tuned Sportish for everything Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolf have said about the outcome of the 2021 championship, the possibility of the former F1 leaving Formula 1, the new W13 and their goals for 2022.

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?

The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.

On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.

Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.

The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.

After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”

When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:

“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”
