What is Mercedes F1 planning for the 2022 season?
The seven-year-long complete dominance of Mercedes F1 finally came to an end last season. They only bagged the Constructor Championship title, whereas Lewis Hamilton lost the Driver Championship to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
After the disappointing 2021 season finale, the Germans are now looking forward to the 2022 season. The Silver Arrows aim to dominate the sport once again. Therefore, they even got the young talent George Russell on board, replacing Valtteri Bottas. Moreover, the seven-time world champion is also back at the base and preparing alongside the team to lift his record-breaking eighth championship this season.
