Faster, safer, more professional: In Episode 2 of Guardian of the Grid, the story of the Mercedes-AMG FIA F1 Safety Car enters a new chapter. What began with a handshake and a company car now had to prove itself ????️

Norbert Haug, Michael Bock, Bernd Mayländer, and Christoph Sagemüller reflect on how the Safety Car evolved from a pragmatic solution into an essential part of Formula 1. At the centre of it all: the CLK 55 AMG, and the beginning of a new era in which the Safety Car became a testbed for AMG innovation. The hands-on development to optimise the cars laid the foundation for an entirely new generation: the Black Series.

Oh, and did you know that the Safety Car once ran 30 laps in Canada right up to its fuel limit and nearly ran out of fuel in Fuji in 2007? One thing is certain: the stories behind the scenes are just as thrilling as the races themselves. Watch Episode 2 of Guardian of the Grid now and discover what the people who were there experienced firsthand.
