Bernd Mayländer reveals upgrades to F1's new Mercedes safety car

Formula 1 has debuted its new safety car at the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix, introducing the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ to the grid.

Replacing the AMG GT Black Series that had served the championship since 2022, the new iteration is the first safety car to feature fully variable all-wheel drive, designed to improve traction and stability during wet-weather conditions. The car also features a special livery at the Hungaroring to mark Mercedes' 30th anniversary of supplying official course vehicles to the FIA.
