VIDEO. Mercedes F1 is already on the track. The team conducted closed tests
After the official presentation, George Russell took to the track at Silverstone to race the first race of the new Mercedes W17 car.
The team had previously released digital images of the vehicle and confirmed that the vehicle would hit the track for the first time on the same day.
Team leader Russell was given the honor of driving the W17 for the first time in Silverstone’s wet and windy conditions, following Cadillac’s Sergio Perez and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly who tested their new cars earlier this month.
Prior to this, Nico Hulkenberg with Audi in Barcelona and Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, who tested the new car at Imola, also managed to take to the track.

The Formula 1 movie, starring Brad Pitt, received several Oscar nominations ahead of the ceremony in March.
The film, released in 2025, tells the story of pilot Sonny Geise, who returns after retirement to help the APXGP team. The hero’s partner is Joshua Pierce, played by Damson Idris.
Formula 1 was directly involved in the filming of the film. Some scenes were shot during real-life race weekends, most notably the 2023 British Grand Prix, where fictional APXGP cars even did a warm-up lap with the peloton.
The executive producer of the film was Lewis Hamilton. The film grossed approximately $631 million worldwide, surpassing World War Z (2013) to become the highest-grossing film of Brad Pitt’s career.
The movie “Formula 1” was nominated for four Oscars, including the most prestigious category “Best Picture”. The last time a sports movie won this category was 2004 (“Million Dollar Baby”).
The film is also nominated for awards in the “Best Editing”, “Best Sound” and “Best Visual Effects” categories.
The Oscars ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on March 15, the same day as the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix.

I am a sports journalist who has written for a number of Sportish. I have a background in journalism and have been writing since I was young. My main focus is sports news, but I also write about general news. I am currently working as an author at Sportish.
Last night, January 21, the annual awards ceremony of the authoritative publication Autosport took place.
As always, the names of the best British athlete, the champion of the year among different racing series, the driver of the year, the rookie of the year, the best car of the season and the team were determined.
The titles of champion of the year and British athlete of the year went to Lando Norris with great expectations. The McLaren pilot broke Max Verstappen’s streak of four consecutive championships in the 2025 season and won the first Formula 1 championship in his career.
Max Verstappen was chosen as the best Formula 1 driver of the year according to Autosport. Despite Red Bull’s problems in the first half of the season, the Dutch driver managed to make a great recovery in the second half of the championship and received 102 points out of 104. However, this was not enough to win their fifth consecutive world title.
The British publication gave the Rookie of the Year award to Verstappen’s new teammate Isak Hajjar. In his debut season, he achieved his first career podium, outpacing his more experienced teammate.
McLaren was considered the best team and also the best car of the 2025 season. The team won its second consecutive title in the Constructors’ Championship, with the drivers of the MCL39 car showing a huge advantage over all their pursuers.
