2022 season livery (see image):

Ara Rating: 7/10 I absolutely love that Mercedes is now back to their “silver arrows” color, but the many Mercedes logos scattered across the back half of the car is a little much.

*The Mercedes Formula 1 team first participated in a grand prix way back in 1954, and since then the team has taken many multi-year breaks for different reasons. Because of those many year breaks, the team has reformed many times, and the official Formula 1 website does not list all of the grand prix wins and championships that the Mercedes team has ever won. For this article I did my best to give information about the current Mercedes F1 team.*
