Despite rumours of a failed crash test, Mercedes insists that their 2022 F1 car has completed the FIA’s homologation process.
Mercedes has responded to reports that their new Formula One car, the W13, failed a pre-season crash test, claiming that the W13 has already passed the FIA’s homologation process.
Red Bull and Mercedes, both 2021 title contenders, failed the necessary testing over the weekend, according to Italian media. Mercedes, on the other hand, has tried to reject the reports after Red Bull soothed concerns about their preparations.
