Formula One will get a new safety car this year. Mercedes will provide the FIA with a brand new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing.
German Bernd Maylander will continue to drive the unique 571 horsepower supercar, a modern re-make of the popular Mercedes-Benz 300SL.
The car featured in a TV commercial before the launch of the Mercedes MGP-01, in which it was driven on the ceiling of a tunnel by none other than Michael Schumacher.
