Hamilton, who is hoping to get back into the title fight with Mercedes in 2023, believes his new yellow and purple look fits perfectly with the black W14 car unveiled by the team on Wednesday.

The 38-year-old said: "Going with both yellow and purple this year. Love how they look together and how sick it looks against the black car. Keeping the rainbow accents too, always 🏳️‍🌈".

Hamilton will begin his bid for a record eighth world title in Bahrain on Sunday March 5. And before that he will be testing at the same venue between February 23 and 25.
