Fast Money. Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team News 2018 NEWS: Introducing the Most Powerful F1 Safety Car Ever! Formula One has a new Safety Car for the 2018 season and it's the most powerful the sport has ever seen The AMG GT R is the quickest Safety Car in the sport's history so far A new Mercedes-AMG Safety Car will be used in the up-coming 2018 F1 season and will debut at this weekend's opening round in Melbourne, Australia. The AMG GT R is the quickest Safety Car in the sport's history so far, with the top-of-the-line model's V8 biturbo engine producing 585hp and powering it to a top speed of 318km/h (198mph). The AMG GT R is the 11th Official F1 Safety Car to have been provided by Mercedes-AMG and replaces the AMG GT S, which was first used in 2015. 2018 marks Mercedes-AMG's 23rd consecutive season leading the F1 field around the race track when wet weather, accidents or debris require its deployment. The powerful AMG GT R features the driving dynamics of the AMG GT3 race car and spent a large part of its development being honed on the "Green Hell", the NĂŒrburgring Nordschleife. It's packed full of the latest high-tech automotive technology It's packed full of the latest high-tech automotive technology, from the AIRPANEL active air control system in the front apron to the rear double diffuser, active rear-wheel steering and nine-way adjustable traction control. All of the improvements and additions help to boost the car's performance and driving dynamics, enabling it to meet the requirements for the tough job of being F1's Safety Car. This includes being able to maintain a set pace that prevents the tyres and brakes of F1 cars from cooling and the engines from overheating. Bernd MaylĂ€nder is the man behind the wheel of the F1 Safety Car and he's joined by co-driver Richard Darker, who maintains radio contact with race control. The interior of the AMG GT R includes two tablet devices, used for monitoring what's going on out on the race track. One shows the live race feed, and the other features vehicle positions and lap times. 'I am very much looking forward to my new company car' "I am very much looking forward to my new company car," Bernd explained. "It is an absolute highlight in terms of driving dynamics and is one level higher up still than the AMG GT S of recent years. "Of course, ideally the safety car should be deployed as rarely as possible - but when we have to safely bunch up the Formula One field and lead it around the track, we will be superbly equipped with the AMG GT R." The AMG GT R is joined by the AMG C 63 S Estate, which is the Official F1 Medical Car and is driven by Alan van der Merwe. His co-driver is F1 deputy medical delegate Dr Ian Roberts, and they are accompanied by one or two assistant medics from a nearby hospital.

ï»żHome Sports Mercedes-AMG GT-R Official FIA F1 Safety Car The new design of the Formula 1 Safety Car symbolizes solidarity, safety and diversity Itâs a familiar sight for fans of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship: when thereâs been an accident on track or the weather conditions are bad, a Mercedes-AMG safely leads the field of F1 cars around the track. Itâs been this way for 25 years. And for 20 years, Bernd MaylĂ€nder has been at the steering wheel of the Official FIA F1 Safety Car. Even the color scheme of the car with its silver paint and black dĂ©cor has stayed the same. But for the 2020 season, things will change: the AMG GT R (combined fuel consumption l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 284-282 g/km)[1] with 430 kW (585 hp) will hit the race track in a new look starting July 2nd, 2020. The car will prominently support the Formula 1 campaign âWeRaceAsOneâ by featuring its rainbow key visual on the flanks and on the bonnet of the car. The eye-catching design symbolizes the sports commitment for diversity and inclusion. When Formula 1 returns to racing this weekend in Austria, it will use this opportunity to thank people all over the world for their strength and resilience in the fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic. The sport will also show its unity in the fight against racism and its commitment to do more to address inequality in Formula 1. As a sign of this commitment, rainbow visuals and the hashtag #WeRaceAsOne will feature on all Formula 1 cars and around the race track. The rainbow was chosen as it has become a symbol that is used internationally to bring communities together. In addition to the âWeRaceAsOneâ campaign, the call to âDrive Safelyâ will be visible on the bonnet the Official FIA F1 Safety Car, addressing fans at home who are watching the race on TV or via live stream and reminding them to always drive in a careful and considerate way. Bernd MaylĂ€nderâs âcompany carâ also uses the hashtag #PurposeDriven to promote the FIAâs (FĂ©dĂ©ration Internationale de l'Automobile) commitment to safety, sustainability, gender equality and diversity, and points out the FIA Action for Road Safety with mentions on the roof and tailgate of the car. From a technical perspective, however, the Official FIA F1 Safety Car remains unchanged: the front-mid engine concept with transaxle gearbox, the powerful V8 biturbo engine, the intricately designed chassis, the sophisticated active aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight construction form the basis for a particularly dynamic driving experience. Optional features include the AMG Track Package with roll-over protection system and the ceramic high-performance composite brake system. The AMG GT R is perfectly qualified for this tough job at the pinnacle of motorsport. The FIA requirements for the Official FIA F1 Safety Car are high. It must be able to maintain a high minimum speed so that the tires and brakes of the Formula 1 cars do not lose too much temperature and the engines do not overheat. With a top speed of 318 km/h and seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h, this is an easy task for the AMG GT R. In addition to the Safety Car, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate (combined fuel consumption l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 229-214 g/km) [1] is ready for emergencies as the Official FIA F1 Medical Car of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. It will also sport the new design.
