Mercedes has shown a brief glimpse of its 2023 Formula 1 car in a video released on social media.
The short clip features George Russell having his seat fit for the 2023 campaign, which will get underway in March next year.
Mercedes enters the 2023 season looking to have a more successful outing compared to 2022 as it walked away with just a single grand prix victory.
Russell will once again partner Lewis Hamilton at the team, their second season paired together.
The video released by Mercedes doesn’t offer much of a look at the W14 car, but one noticeable change is the roll hoop section.
The regulations surrounding that area were tightened for 2023 after Zhou Guanyu’s roll hoop failed during his horror crash at the British Grand Prix earlier this year.
