Mercedes unveil STRIKING new livery for Japanese GP
Mercedes unveil STRIKING new livery for Japanese GP
Mercedes have arrived in Suzuka with an interesting revision to their car's design.
The 2024 F1 season hasn't quite gone according to plan for the Silver Arrows. After a dominant era, Mercedes currently find themselves outside the top three in the constructors' standings.

With three races gone, Mercedes currently sit in fourth place with only 26 points, a single point ahead of Aston Martin and 29 points adrift of McLaren as they head into Sunday's race in Japan.
Lewis Hamilton, in a season that marks his farewell to Mercedes after a historic partnership, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. The seven-time champion, who hasn't won a race since his 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, currently sits in a lowly tenth place with just eight points.
Looking to end his Mercedes tenure on a high note, the Brit will be aiming for a significant improvement in performance this season before he heads to Ferrari for the next chapter in his career.
Meanwhile, his teammate George Russell has adapted better, currently holding seventh place with 18 points.

Mercedes new look for Japan
The Brackley outfit have opted for a slight livery revision, adding a striking cyan stripe running down the W15's sidepod.
This new design will feature on both Hamilton's and Russell's cars as they look to bounce back from a disappointing Australian Grand Prix. The Mercedes duo was forced to retire in Melbourne, leaving them hungry for a strong showing this weekend.
The @MercedesAMGF1 #W15 is carrying a slight livery revision for the #JapaneseGP - with an additional Petronas-green stripe added onto the side pod.

The team removed the traditional flow line, that went under the sidepod, as it "no longer works with the shape of the car".#F1 pic.twitter.com/eGKUoMsS7x
