Hamilton is the latest to try out his new car as testing commences in Barcelona with the new season just one month away
Lewis Hamilton is the latest driver to present to the world his car for the new season, as he and team-mate Nico Rosberg lifted the covers of their Mercedes machine.
Hamilton is gunning for a fourth world championship which would make him Great Britain's greatest ever F1 driver and one of he top five drivers in F1's history.
He matched Sir Jackie Stewart on three titles by retaining his crown last year, beating Rosberg and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to the top spot.
The Brit has been backed for success once again in his new car, which Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe claims has many "mini-revolutions".

He said: "Our priority has been to identify the areas we were weakest and improve them.
"There were a lot of things that needed improving for 2016.
"While the car may look very similar to its predecessor from the outside, underneath there are quite a lot of mini-revolutions that make up an overall evolution for the new season."
