If the drivers are officially on vacation while waiting for the restart, the teams continue to work despite the holiday period. As a new era looms in F1 with the change in the technical regulations, the teams are mobilized to best prepare this new page as evidenced by the images revealed by Mercedes.

While Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are enjoying their well-deserved vacation, the mechanics are still at the Brackley factories where they work on the W13, the car brought to defend the interests of Mercedes on the track in 2022.

While the video doesn't reveal much about the silhouette of the future Silver Arrow, F1 fans were able to hear its engine rev up for the first time, demonstrating that the design of the car is progressing correctly.
