Roaring engine seen in first video of new Mercedes car

The winter break started less than two weeks ago, yet Mercedes already seem prepared for the new year. Their power unit for next season has just run for the first time.

The Formula 1 teams are still working during the winter, because they need to begin preparing for the upcoming season. The new regulations in 2022 mean that quite a few changes will have to be made, and the team from Brackley are ready early on, having already performed their first fire-up. At Mercedes everything seems to be going smoothly.

The fire-up is an important moment for the teams, because it allows them to see if all the parts are working. It is the first moment that the car can be seen in all its glory. Toto Wolff was also at this important moment, but via a video call.
