The car that is required to master Formula One is here. The new Mercedes W12 E Performance, which will start this 2021, was unveiled on Tuesday morning and continues with the same prospects for 2020. This year, the team led by Lewis Hamilton decided to become the global symbol of the "Black Live Matter" movement last year, so the "silver arrow" decided to paint itself black to support the movement.
On this occasion, the new car of the Briton and his partner Valtteri Bottas will continue to have the color black as the main protagonist of its decoration, but with a novelty: At the rear of the engine bonnet this color blends into gradient to become the iconic silver of the star brand. However, the most relevant of the car, its great technical and performance changes, were hidden. And that, precisely, is what seems to make it clearer that Mercedes has prepared a big surprise for everyone when the car has to look for its limits in the first race of the year.
"The 2020 décor became iconic and we are very proud of your message," Wolff said at the virtual presentation this Tuesday, noting that this year they wanted to add to that livery the historic silver Mercedes.
Mercedes has won everything since the start of the hybrid era in 2014 with a car far superior to the rest, achieving 7 consecutive constructors' titles and 7 drivers' crowns in a row, 6 for Lewis Hamilton and one for Rosberg in 2016. Now, in the last year of the current regulations, before the great regulatory revolution of F1 is implemented that aims to equalize things on the track, Mercedes wants to close the dominant circle of this era by returning to sweep the track.
