As it seemed evident from the first images of the two new cars, the W13 from Mercedes and the F1-75 of Ferrari they differ somewhat on an aesthetic level, a sign of projects that started from quite different bases and concepts. For the Maranello team, the hope is to have designed a car that can allow it to fight consistently for podiums and victories, and that can challenge the teams that have dominated the championship that has just ended, namely Mercedes and Red Bull. The first clues will already be available next week during the Barcelona tests, although it may seem rather obvious that the teams will try to keep their cards covered and not show their full potential to their opponents. In addition, there is always the unknown factor of Adrian Newey’s Red Bull, who showed the public only the livery on a standard single-seater and who drove around the shakedown at Silverstone and of which very few images have come out that are not clear at all, which leave but imagine cutting-edge solutions conceived by the legendary British designer.
On the sidelines of the presentation of the Mercedes W13, Toto Wolff he dedicated a thought to his Ferrari rivals: “Any team may have found a magical solution, as happened with the dual speaker on the BrawnGP in 2009. As a racing enthusiast, I love Ferrari and I would like it to be competitive“, And concluded:”It is the most important name in Formula 1 and we have missed seeing it fight for the victory in the last two or three years ”. The last success of the Maranello team dates back to 22 September 2019, at the Singapore Grand Prix, with Sebastian Vettel preceding his teammate Charles Leclerc at the finish line.
