Mercedes back with a silver livery in 2022
After spending two seasons in black livery, the Mercedes cars are expected to return to their original silver color starting from the next season.
Mercedes has been dominating the other teams since 2014, having won 8 consecutive titles in the constructors’ championship. An impressive performance that was largely achieved with a silver car until 2020.
But starting from the 2020 season, the six-time world champion at the time, Lewis Hamilton, had asked Mercedes if he could change the color of their livery.
« It started with silver arrows. When I asked if we could make the car black last year, in terms of symbolism, and what we plan to do for the future in terms of support, I didn’t expect it to last particularly long, and we carried it into a second season, which was great. » explains Lewis Hamilton last October.
According to the German newspaper Bild, Mercedes has chosen to return to its original color after two seasons in black. Hamilton appreciates this choice.
“If that happens again, it will be a nice change. It doesn’t discourage us from the changes we’re making internally as we continue to actively promote diversity, even while working with all our partners,” says Hamilton.
Mercedes will therefore start their 2022 season with the return of their Silver Arrows and a new pair of drivers composed of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
