The Mercedes-AMG Official Safety Car and Official Medical Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship are entering the start of the 2021 Formula 1 season with new paintwork: the rich red not only corresponds to the Mercedes-AMG signature colour, much more it represents the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team partner CrowdStrike. The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate (fuel consumption combined 10.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined 229 g/km) is used as a medical car. Mercedes-AMG will start with its safety vehicles on 18 April at the second round of the FIA Formula One World Championship in Imola. The FIA’s profile of requirements for the Official Safety Car is a demanding one. The FIA Medical Car follows the Formula 1 field on the starting lap, as the racing cars are grouped particularly closely together in this critical phase of the race. During the race, the Official Medical Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship and the Official Safety Car are on stand-by next to each other in the pit lane.
