The start of the 2022 Season in Formula 1 is scheduled for next weekend with the Bahrain Grand Prix. The first race for the year will mark the track debut of the competition’s new safety car - a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. It will share its duties with the Aston Martin Vantage and DBX, which were introduced last season. Meanwhile, an AMG GT 63 S will be used as a medical car.
Mercedes says the two performance machines are almost entirely standard. The only modifications include additional equipment specific to their respective tasks on the track. The AMG GT Black Series, for example, lacks the usual light bar on the roof, which has been replaced by an innovative LED lighting cluster at the upper area of the windscreen. The rearward-facing lights, meanwhile, have been integrated into the rear spoiler.
