Mercedes rolled out it crews and its 2018 W09 Silver Arrow at Silverstone on Tuesday as it undertook the first of its two days of testing at the British track ahead of the start of the 2020 season next month in Austria.

Valtteri Bottas was on hand for the run while Lewis Hamilton will take over from the Finn tomorrow.
