Mercedes has launched its 2026 F1 car, as its motorsport team gave its 2026 F1 car its first shakedown at Silverstone, with drivers George Russell and relative newcomer Kimi Antonelli driving nearly 200 km without a hitch. The Mercedes F1 team reported that its car underwent a shakedown test at Silverstone to ensure its safety and reliability as testing continues in Spain, followed by a test in Bahrain later. Mercedes finished as runner up in the last season, seeking to regain the top spot, as it has revealed its significant sponsorship agreement with Microsoft, which will see its 2026 car officially presented online on February 2, as the season will start in Australia in March.
