Mercedes' teasing over the livery to be revealed on its 2019 Formula 1 challenger has set tongues wagging across the sport's fandom. With some kind of camouflaged look possibly in the pipeline, fans are desperate for a taste, could this be the answer?

Whether a new look will be in place for the car's reveal next week, parts of pre-season testing, the full year… or not at all remains up in the air, but it's getting us seriously excited…

The Silver Arrows have stuck to their nickname since returning to F1 in 2010, with consistent liveries on the cars made up mostly of, you guessed it, silver!

More blues and greens have been woven into the car's look in recent years and recent social media hype from the team suggested that a completely new look could come to the fore when the car is revealed.

Hopefully it won't got the way of Red Bull's CamoBull designs, which never made it past testing, or a press release in last season's case.

We're not holding our breath, though…
