Mercedes presents its livery for the 2025 F1 season · RaceFans

Mercedes have presented the livery for their new 2025 car at Formula 1’s pre-season launch event in London.

The team, which won eight consecutive constructors’ titles between 2014 and 2021, is heading into its first season without Lewis Hamilton in its driver line-up since 2012.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli will make his grand prix debut for the team when the season begins in Australia next month. He joins George Russell, who has driven for the team since 2022.

Mercedes won four grands prix last year, the most since its last championship victory, but fell to fourth in the standings, its lowest position in 12 years.

The team presented its latest livery on a show car. It is not due to reveal its W16 chassis until Monday.

Its latest design is largely similar to last year’s livery, featuring a silver nose and black flanks. One noticeable change is the removal of Ineos’ branding from the engine’s air intake, which is now silver. However the logos of Ineos, a one-third owner of the Mercedes team, remain on the insides of the car’s front wing end plates.

Team principal Toto Wolff praised F1 for its new initiative in hosting a single pre-season launch event attended by all the teams.

“What an incredible evening and an event from F1,” he said after the F1 75 event. “The sport continues to set new milestones with such occasions, and I hope the thousands watching in the arena, and everyone tuning in at home, thoroughly enjoyed it.

“Mercedes has a long history in motorsport and it’s an unbelievable honour to carry that baton forward. We start to write the next chapter in our story this year with George and Kimi, and we’re excited to get going.”
