GALLERY: Hamilton gets his hands on classic Mercedes F1 cars
Looks like an incredible day!
Mercedes celebrated 125 years in motorsport with a special day of action at Silverstone which saw world champion Lewis Hamilton get his hands on the championship-winning Silver Arrow from the 1950s, as well as one of his own Formula 1 title-winners.
The Silver Arrows lined up championship cars from F1, DTM and more for a special day of filming and we're already hotly anticipating the content that is to follow!
We got several teasers of what went down at Silverstone, with Hamilton getting a run in F1 machines past and present (or not-so far back in the past, anyway!) as well as taking part in a race in classic DTM machinery with Mercedes chief Toto Wolff.
