The star of the recently released iRacing 2022 Season 1 Build was undoubtedly the virtual model of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance Formula 1 car.

The Mercedes W12, officially the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance, is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team to compete in the 2021 Formula One World Championship. 

The car was driven by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. The W12 is based on the Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance which won the drivers and constructors championships the previous season.

In episode 40 of the iRacing Downshift podcast, James Vowles, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Motorsports Strategy Director discusses bringing the Mercedes-F1 W12 E Performance car to the iRacing online racing platform.
