Mercedes has released an onboard video of Lewis Hamilton's very first lap in the new W13.

The Silver Arrows new machine sees a return to its famous colour after two years of a predominantly black design.

Hamilton's appearance during the launch was symbolic as it put to an end continuous rumours over his desire to compete this year given his experiences at the end of the 2021 season.

Mercedes braved stormy conditions on Friday to give the W13 its first run on track and the video posted by the team can be seen below!
