Mercedes, with special F1 Belgian GP decoration

Date:

Lewis Hamilton and George Russell pilot a Mercedes with a special livery at the F1 Belgian GP 2022 this weekend. The reason, the celebration of the 55th anniversary of AMGfounded in 1967 by engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher.

“To honor the 55-year milestone, Lewis and George will race at Spa wearing special AMG logos including a 55th anniversary stamp and a big old starting number on the side seats of the W13, reminiscent of the legendary winner. from the 1971 Spa 24h class, the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, the so-called “Red Pig”. The F1 Safety Car will also have an anniversary stamp,” the team said in a statement.

However, the above image worn by this statement and another image of a different Mercedes decoration that spread on social networks led to confusion. At the top of the aforementioned text, Mercedes presents the ‘Red Pig’, and next to it, its current car with a striking mix of colors: at the front, the red of the old AMG, and at the back, the silver . That made many people wonder if Mercedes would race with a red front end, like a Ferrari. But from that decoration, Mercedes will wear the big number on the track, keeping the usual silver color.

Of course, in the Fan Zone of Spa-Francorchamps a replica of the W13 will be on display with a personalized livery showing a mix of the historic red car and its current silver single-seater.

The Mercedes-AMG ONE, the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG and the new GT3 EDITION 55, a 55th anniversary collector’s item, will also take to the track this Thursday with Lewis, George and Toto at the wheel.
