With the new rules coming into play, it’s like Mercedes’s dominance has almost vanished. With Lewis Hamilton at the helm. the team has tasted victory countless times. Ahead of the 2023 F1 season, the team decided to do a shakedown of the car before pre-season testing goes underway. This shakedown was done in Silverstone which is very close to the team’s factory.
While teams like Red Bull are still hesitant to show their real car before pre-season testing, Ferrari and Mercedes have been pretty brave as they showcased theirs. The Brackley based team got their W-14 on track for the first time where Lewis Hamilton got the chance to drive it. The fans were pretty excited to see the team’s newest challenger in action.
