Lewis Hamilton has teased fans with some shots hinting that he's heading out on track for a shakedown session in Mercedes' new W15.

Mercedes finished second in the constructors' championship last season, a mark which sounds more impressive before the caveat 'with fewer than half of Red Bull's points' is added .

The W15 was unveiled on Wednesday morning as the team hope to close the gap to their rivals and grab their first win since George Russell took victory in Brazil in 2022.

The car will also be the final Mercedes machine that Hamilton pilots before he makes the switch to Ferrari for the 2025 season, and the Brit took to his socials to post some teasers about an upcoming session ahead of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
