Mercedes has provided another little teaser after confirming it would run a commemorative livery at this weekend's German Grand Prix.
The reigning champions are celebrating 125 years of Motorsport and their 200th grand prix start this weekend and have said they will run "a commemorative livery to pay tribute to our heritage."
Often when teams say such things it involves a small change, such as a new decal, but Mercedes has been teasing a radical change which involves historical Mercedes branding and a white livery with camouflage-like splashes of colour.
Though judging by the stunt the team pulled ahead of pre-season testing, when they teased a concept livery which was purely CGI and never made it to the real car, it could be a case of déjà vu.
