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.
