Mercedes have released a short video clip of their new W07 as it completes a shake-down at the Silverstone circuit.
The clip gives Formula 1 fans the first glimpse at what the new cars sound like, following an exhaust layout change which now mandates one or two additional exits, with sole purpose of increasing the noise coming from the hybrid-V6 engines.
Nico Rosberg is driving during the morning session, with current world champion Lewis Hamilton due to drive later. It’s expected the team will release photos of its car in action later today, as it has done in previous years.
