Mercedes W13 was launched on February 18, Friday, only one team was left to launch their 2022 challenger and the car launches for the year would commence with the start of testing of the new era car with new technical regulations. Toto Wolff, team principal at Mercedes unveils new plans for the year.

As the team focuses on new challenges ahead of them, Toto Wolff seems to keep his successes in the rear-view mirror as the mindset of the team has always been the same over the years due to winning eight consecutive constructors’ championships.

“The mindset of the team has always been the same over the last few years, The point count goes back to zero. There is nothing from the previous years that will make you win the current championship,” Wolff said.

“No credits to be taken, but also no sense of entitlement. Every year, we are sceptical about whether we’ve done a good enough job and that’s the right mentality,” Toto added during the W13 launch.

As usual Mercedes were ahead of the other teams in presenting their cars during the launch by opting for a shakedown on Friday at Silverstone. Toto was thrilled to present the real car which will be on the grid in March and was proud of the team’s hard work.

“For me, the best moments every year is when you fire up for the first time, which happened very early with us in December,” he added.

“Then the second moment is when the car is actually being put together. I was in the race bays the last few days looking at this unbelievable machine.”

“Seeing it completely with its bodywork on is very exciting. So much sweat and tears have gone into this car and now we just need to make it drive fast,” Said Toto Wolff overjoyed with the completion of the 2022 challenger.
