As dawn breaks on a brand-new era for Formula One, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team today launched its challenger for the 2022 season – the Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance. The team’s 2022 challenger will be named the ‘Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance’, with W13 representing the thirteenth car produced by the Mercedes-AMG works team since re-entering F1 in 2010. “On the chassis side, the changes are huge,” said Mike Elliott, the team’s Technical Director. “We haven’t had a change as big as this one in my career. By 2022, teams will find performance gains in more fundamental shape changes and bigger components than in previous years. We make adjustments to the PU that allow the chassis team to best exploit the regulations. Working closely with Title Partner PETRONAS, the team have tested more fuel candidates and plotted more development loops with the E10 fuel than in previous years.
