On Monday, Mercedes unveiled its new car for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship, ahead of its debut on the track during the pre-season tests, which will be hosted in Bahrain this week.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Mercedes explained: “The W16 car is based on the lessons learned from its predecessor, with significant changes made ahead of the final season under this set of regulations.”<\/p>\n
The car’s design, which was revealed last week during the launch event for the new cars of the 2025 Formula 1 season in London, is very similar to the 2024 version of the Mercedes car, featuring a combination of silver, black, and teal colors.<\/p>\n
Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, said: “We are opening a new era in our team’s and Mercedes AMG’s motorsport story in 2025, building on our amazing legacy, and we look forward to the start of racing.”<\/p>\n
This will be the first time since 2013 that Mercedes competes in Formula 1 without seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who has moved to Ferrari.<\/p>\n
George Russell enters his fourth season with Mercedes and will team up with Kimi Antonelli.<\/p>\n
Russell said, “As a team, we are incredibly excited to develop compared to last season. There’s tremendous energy at the factories in Brackley and Brixworth, so I’m excited to get on the track.”<\/p>\n
Antonelli expressed, “I\u2019m extremely excited to make my Formula 1 debut this season. I\u2019ve been working hard throughout the winter to prepare in the best way possible, and now I can\u2019t wait to get started.”<\/p>\n
The Bahrain tests begin next Wednesday and will continue through Friday, with the season opener on March 16 in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
