The day of the W17 As scheduled, Mercedes showed the renderings of its W17 this morning, while the presentation event for the 2026 season has been set for Monday 2 February, after the Barcelona tests scheduled for 26 to 30 January.
With the W17 the Silver Arrows hope to be able to compete continuously for victories again and there are many experts in the paddock who see them as possible favorites after the regulatory revolution. And it’s an immediate shakedown After showing the images of the W17, Mercedes immediately took to the track at Silverstone for the shakedown of the new single-seater, with the very first laps entrusted to George Russell.
The asphalt was wet, but the testing was certainly useful to begin to familiarize with the different functioning of the power unit, as will happen in a few days in Barcelona. Videos of the Mercedes W17 in action
