Craig Scarborough, Formula 1 technology expert, has given his analysis of the new W13 on the Peter Windosr's YouTube Channel. Mercedes appear to have revealed some interesting details after all.

The real W13

Mercedes presented the new W13 for the 2022 Formula 1 season on Friday 18 February. While Red Bull Racing tried to hide their real car for 2022 as much as possible, Mercedes didn't bother to cover up their new car. With the new W13, a shakedown was immediately completed at Silverstone.

With pictures of the car next to and on the track, a decent analysis of the new car can already be made. In the analysis by GPblog it was already clear that Mercedes will drive with a longer wheelbase, they have a particularly narrow bottleneck and the front wing is slightly more extensive than that of the competition. Scarborough gives his analysis in this video.
