Mercedes's 2017 Formula 1 car - the W08 - has broken cover at Silverstone ahead of its official launch.
Three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton turned a series of filming day laps of the British Grand Prix circuit on Thursday morning.
The W08 to be driven by Hamilton and new team-mate Valtteri Bottas features a shark fin, as has been the case with the previous four F1 cars unveiled so far this year, as well as wider and more sculpted front and rear wings.
