Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team technical director James Allison explains teams’ 2021 car W12.
Though regulations doesn’t allow major changes for 2021 season, Allison explains how W12 is a new baby for them compared to previous season’s W11.
Mercedes is unbeaten so far in the Hybrid era, clinching all seven drivers and constructor’s titles without major resistance from opponents. And many thinks Mercedes are still team to beat in the new season even though budget cap implemented for 2021 season.
If W12 delivers performance as per expectations, the car will hold a special place in history books. Lewis Hamilton can win record breaking 8th World title with W12, while Mercedes can extend their World record of consecutive championship to 8th.
And W12 can be a last Formula 1 car driven by Sir Lewis Hamilton, as Brit is heading for a potential retirement after 2021 season.
