GALLERY: Take a closer look at the Mercedes W14 2023 F1 car and livery

Mercedes revealed their new F1 challenger to the world on Wednesday, pulling the covers off the W14 during a launch presentation at Silverstone.

Attended by drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, along with team boss Toto Wolff, the launch marked the start of a new chapter for Mercedes after their 2022 struggles, which saw the team fall from world champions to third overall.

And the team sprung a surprise by unveiling a black livery that is a return to the colour scheme they last used back in 2021.

The W14 will aim to add to the eight constructors’ championships and seven drivers’ titles Mercedes have achieved during F1’s turbo-hybrid era to date.
