Mercedes has released more images of its 2015 car - the W06 - after its track debut at Silverstone on Thursday.

The team published video of the car during a filming day at Silverstone, with both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg spending time behind the wheel in cold and wet conditions. Following a number of videos, the team has now released images of the W06 on track.

The new car features a thinner nose to its predecessor due to the updated 2015 regulations, while the below image also reveals an updated livery on the engine cover.
