Mercedes Formula 1 starts its W13 engine for the first time

Preparations for the new Formula 1 season are well underway. So Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 tested the engine for the 2022 season. It is a 1.6-L V6 turbocharged engine with 950-1,000 hp (710-750 kW) that uses 10% ethanol.

The video was posted on the instagram profile @ mercedesamgf1. The video shows employees watching intently, while one of the team members, via video call, shows Toto Wolff the first start of the W13 engine for the 2022 season. Toto Wolff is CEO, Team Principal and co-owner of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.

It is still uncertain who will be behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team for next season. According to Bernie Ecclestone, after talking to Lewis Hamilton’s father, his impression is that Lewis will not be competing next season.

“I don’t think he’ll be back next season. His disappointment was too big after the last race. Now, tied for seven titles with Michael Schumacher, it’s the perfect time for him to fulfill his dream and be a fashion entrepreneur. Also with George Russell he would have an ambitious team-mate, and could lose a lot next season, ”Ecclestone said.
