Mercedes will launch their real 2022 Formula 1 car, the W13, on Friday 18 February before its first official shakedown at the Silverstone circuit.

The German outfit will have a new driver pairing for the 2022 campaign, with George Russell set to partner seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton.

That being said, Hamilton is yet to put an end to rumours that he may not take to the 2022 grid, that following on from the controversial circumstances under which his 2021 Drivers’ Championship bid fell apart in the closing stages of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Having said “we’ll see about next year” when quizzed on his F1 future in a brief post-race interview, Hamilton has as a result created doubt over his future.

Valtteri Bottas meanwhile has moved on to pastures new, signing a multi-year contract to partner rookie Guanyu Zhou at Alfa Romeo.
