The W13 was the Mercedes-AMG Petronas entry for the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship, driven by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Its 1.6 litre V6 hybrid power unit produced the distinctive high rev note heard in this recording. Clips of modern F1 engines spread widely on video platforms because the sound alone signals elite motorsport, and creators often pair it with F1 radio clips for team based edits. The W13 remains recognisable to fans despite a difficult season, so its engine note still appears in racing compilations, edits and soundboards.
