This weekend a new Formula 1 season starts in Bahrain. Max Verstappen is defending his worldchampionship title and Mercedes-AMG is defending the constructors title this season. Appearing for the first time as new Formula 1 Safety Car is the AMG GT Black Series as well as the AMG GT 63 S as new Medical car. Both replacing the AMG GT R and C 63 S break respectively. Mercedes is providing AMG’s since 1996 for every year. Since last year Mercedes-AMG is sharing the scene with Aston Martin Lagonda.
