Mercedes je ešte krajší!
Prosím, je to tu! Obhajca a hlavný kandidát na majstrovský titul sa volá Mercedes F1 W10 EQ Power a vyzerá takto!
Ešte dopoludnia sa poponáhľali s uvedením nového monopostu na sezónu 2019 v tíme Mercedes AMG F1. Pred shakedownom na Silverstone, ktorý je len približne 20 km od britskej centrály v Brackley, sa dnes nová kráska Mercedes W10 predstavila v plnej kráse. Pozrite sa ako vyzerá.
Mercedes dnes využil právo na „filmovací deň“, aby odjazdil na Silverstone svojich povolených sto kilometrov a v rámci nich nastavil všetky systémy ešte pred odchodom na budúcotýždňové testy v Barcelone.
„V Barcelone už chceme byť pripravení na prácu a preveriť si v reály, či naše prognózy vychádzajúce zo simulácií budú fungovať,“ vraví Toto Wolff. „Po zmenách pravidiel aj my začíname od nuly a nikde nie je napísané, že znova budeme vyhrávať. O to je to pre nás väčšia výzva.“
V tíme aj naďalej pokračuje osvedčená zostava Lewis Hamilton a Valtteri Bottas. Minimálne jeden z nich sa dnes povozí na Silverstone. Zatiaľ nie je jasné kto (možno aj obaja). Mercedes sľúbil, že v priebehu dňa ešte doplní aj obrázky z jazdy na Silverstone. Ak sa tak stane, tak vám ich prinesieme tiež.
