Mercedes has launched its W16 ahead of the upcoming 2025 Formula 1 season.
The Brackley-based team unveiled its new challenger at the Bahrain International Circuit, ahead of pre-season testing which gets underway on Wednesday.
Before the test begins, the Silver Arrows will conduct its shakedown in Bahrain on Monday, as will Aston Martin.
Mercedes enter the new season with George Russell as its experienced driver, following Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari.
Its teenage sensation Kimi Antonelli will partner Russell, representing the start of a new era for the team without Hamilton.
Russell is entering his fourth season with Mercedes but his seventh overall in F1, whilst Antonelli is one of six full-time rookies on the grid this year.
The new car was unveiled with its brand-new livery, which was unveiled last week at the F1 75 launch event in London.
