Mercedes set to unveil W13 on February 18 in digital event
The Silver Arrows will unveil their 2022 season challenger via a digital launch event on February 18.
Officially dubbed the ‘Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance’, it will mark the team’s first foray into a new era of F1 in terms of regulations. The ‘E-performance’ tag will be used to keep it in sync with all of the brand’s existing hybrid vehicles.
As per the team’s press release, senior leadership and both first-choice drivers will attend. If so, it could be Lewis Hamilton’s first appearance in front of the press since the end of the 2021 season in Abu Dhabi.
The W13 is expected to be taken around Silverstone shortly after the event, five days before the first day of pre-season testing in Barcelona.
