Mercedes presents new Silver Arrow

The reigning world champions presented their new Silver Arrow on Friday, with which Lewis Hamilton (35) is attacking Michael Schumacher's records in the upcoming season. With his 7th world title, Hamilton would equal Kerpener's record, and the Englishman can also surpass his record for most wins (91) and most podiums (155) this season. "I don't feel any pressure at this time of year," said Hamilton during the shakedown on the Silverstone racetrack: "I enjoy these moments. This car has been worked on for months, and today we can spread its wings for the first time. That's it a privilege." Hamilton sees “the usual guys” and specifically his teammate Valtteri Bottas as the biggest competitors in the title fight. The Finnish vice world champion was the first to take to the track in the new car on Friday. Ferrari with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc as well as Red Bull with Max Verstappen can basically be trusted to challenge Mercedes. The record hunt starts on March 15th Meanwhile, the silver ones are chasing another record: This year they have the 7th constructor's title in a row, Ferrari's record of 6 team triumphs (1999 to 2004) in a row was set by Mercedes in 2019. Unlike Ferrari, which only unveiled its SF1000 in Reggio Emilia last Tuesday, Mercedes completed the first laps on the day of the launch. "It's about collecting the first few kilometers and getting a feel for the car," said Mercedes Motorsport Director Toto Wolff, "and then driving to Barcelona well prepared." The first official test drives start there on February 19th. The 71st season of the premier motorsport class begins on March 15th with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
