Following the unveiling of Mercedes’s 2024 challenger, the British trio and their team principal engaged in a thrilling on-track race. Lewis Hamilton, Toto Wolff, and George Russell showcased their new car at their Brackley headquarters before taking it for a shakedown run at Silverstone. A recently surfaced video suggests that the three individuals competed against each other in Mercedes AMG GTs during the shakedown run.
Mercedes, known as the Silver Arrows, became the ninth team to reveal their car for the upcoming season. While some fans appreciated the car’s livery, others criticized the team, claiming they were experiencing an “identity crisis.” The trio’s race at the renowned Silverstone circuit provided spectators with plenty of exciting moments.
During his initial lap in the Mercedes GT, the former champion encountered some difficulties. In the meantime, Wolff and Russell swiftly pulled ahead. Despite his slow start, Hamilton treated the fans present at the W15 shakedown to some donuts, bringing them joy.
As Hamilton enters his 18th and final year with Mercedes before joining another team, he is determined to give one last fight for the championship title. During the W15 launch, the 39-year-old expressed his high hopes for the 2025 season. Confident in the car produced by the engineers in Brackley, the former champion believes that it will surpass the performance of previous years, as the team has learned from their mistakes and can now deliver a complete package.
Before departing for his new venture with the Italian outfit, Hamilton aims to make his “last dance” with Mercedes a memorable one. The team is preparing to challenge Red Bull, who currently dominate the sport.
