Mercedes reveal first images of the W17

Mercedes has unveiled the first images of their 2026 F1 challenger, the W17, showcasing a revised livery in their iconic silver and black. Team Principal Toto Wolff highlighted the extensive work on the car, designed under new aerodynamic regulations making it smaller, narrower, and lighter. The Silver Arrows will retain George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli as their driver lineup, aiming to build on their second-place finish in last year's Constructors' Championship. Mercedes will participate in the Barcelona Shakedown next week, followed by a season launch event on February 2nd, and then head to Bahrain for pre-season testing.
