History of the F1-W13

The Mercedes-Benz F1 W13 E Performance debuted as the factory team's competitive response to the 2022 Formula 1 regulations overhaul.

Development commenced in 2021 with focus on new hybrid power unit regulations and ground-effect aerodynamics mandated for the 2022 season.

The W13 launched at pre-season testing in February 2022 with distinctive low-profile design and innovative suspension solutions addressing new technical parameters.

Production concluded following the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix finale in December 2022, with the chassis retired from active competition.
