No Mercedes powered team has turned a shakedown lap of any kind. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all.
Alpine is testing its car today at Silverstone. Finally, a Mercedes-powered car on the track.

In my opinion, best looking car so far.

I agree, only the Microsoft-coloring is taking away from a (in my opinion) very elegantly looking style.

The engine cover and the sidepods with those thick silver lines is not really my favorite, but I suppose the car looks quite nice when viewed from the front at least. IMO RedBull have the best overall livery out of the cars revealed so far.

The diversion between teams is interesting regarding the air either downwashing at the end of the sidepod or led horizontally like on the Mercedes renders.
We can not know how final this part is, but I remember teams experimenting for long in this area in the pre 2022 cars as well. In the end I think downwashing won, so strange to see these concepts again.
But my feeling is this is not what they will race...

Beautiful looking car. There’s a fantastic atmosphere at the factory. They know they’ve built something truly special. People will be surprised to see the kind of advantage we have this season, not just on the engine side but in aerodynamics as well.

The Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team will be world champions by the end of this year. You can take that to the bank.
