PHOTOS – Mercedes presents its 2022 Safety Car and medical car

Spectators have gotten used to it since 1996: most of the time, it's not just the two Mercedes officials on track during the Grand Prix of Formula 1. The brand with the star has in fact made a habit for more than twenty-five years of supplying one of the safety cars and one of the medical cars to the FIA ​​for Grands Prix. Since 2019, it is the Mercedes-AMG GT R which has had the honor of escorting the peloton in the event of an incident on the track, with Bernd Mayländer at the wheel.
