It has certainly been a surprise-filled couple of weeks, with Formula One teams revealing their 2022 challengers that seem almost dissimilar to each other. So far, none of the cars, including that of Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren, AlphaTauri, Williams, Red Bull, and Haas have looked akin. And now, we await one of the most technology-advanced teams, Mercedes, unveiling their 2022 challenger.

What surprises could they have in store for us? We’d reckon a lot, as has been the case over the years. Now, with the regulation changes also coming in, the W13 is likely to look immensely stunning.

Only yesterday, Ferrari launched their potential title-contending beast F1-75 and the reactions have mostly been positive and much like the other teams, the Reds caught everyone’s attention with the bowl-like side pod design. Hence, with Mercedes, there could be an even more interesting layout to the W13.
