Mercedes’ Two New Stars Featured Together in a Video

The new driver for the Mercedes-AMG F1 team, Kimi Antonelli, has taken the wheel of the electric Mercedes CLA.
In 2025, two of Mercedes’ most anticipated new models will make their debut on the big automotive stage. On the tracks, Kimi Antonelli will have the challenging task of succeeding Sir Lewis Hamilton alongside George Russell. On the roads, the all-new CLA will be unveiled worldwide. Before that, the new star and the new car are introduced in a charming short film aptly named “Charging up for 2025”, recharging for 2025!
Before hitting the track for pre-season F1 testing, Kimi embarks on a journey to the snowy summit of a mountain in the European Alps. Driving in freezing weather in the valley is something special. His car, a camouflaged version of the upcoming CLA in a bright red livery, demonstrates its energy recovery capabilities.
At the end of the trip, the CLA easily generated enough electricity to plug in and power Christmas tree decorations.
The new CLA aims to set a benchmark in efficiency. To achieve this, braking relies heavily on regeneration rather than the traditional mechanical system, which helps optimize battery recharging during deceleration phases. More energy recovered means greater range.
Italian Kimi Antonelli will race alongside George Russell in 2025, both drivers being products of the brand’s Junior program.
