Presentation of Mercedes

Mercedes have won the constructors' and drivers' world titles for the past seven years. The German team has dominated Formula 1 since the hybrid era, and the question is whether that will change from 2021. With restrictions on car development, the differences will not increase dramatically.

Still, we will see a few things about the new W12 right away. For example, the floor and diffuser should be much simpler from this season onwards, to ease the pressure on Pirelli's tyres. It remains to be seen what kind of idea Mercedes has come up with to be the best at this rule change.
