F1’s most successful team of the last decade, Mercedes, which has won 8 consecutive world constructor titles, has unveiled its 2022 Challenger which is based on ground effect aerodynamics – the W13 e-Performance. The new car has very tightly packed sidepods and a very narrow nose, which comes close to a Ferrari that has been employed on the F1-75. Overall, the car looks sleek but isn’t as radical as the Ferrari, although it also returns the team to its classic silver livery, with shares in black and red.
The launch event also officially marked the return of Lewis Hamilton who is now entering his 10th year with the Mercedes team. Hamilton’s return to F1 was in the shroud after losing to Max Verstappen in the final race of the 2021 season under controversial circumstances during the final lap. Toto Wolff had implied that the 7-time world champion may not return to F1. Hamilton himself disappeared from social media but there were signs of his return in late January.
