Just under an hour before Mercedes officially pulls back the cover on its new 2017 W08 - well, that's already happened now - a few shots of the car have found their way out of Silverstone!
Lewis Hamilton conducted a brief shakedown of the new Silver Arrows despite unfavorable weather.
The pictures reveal a strikingly narrow front end as well as the absence of the trendy extended aerodynamic 'shark fin' which Mercedes 2017 predecessors have chosen to use, although there's a hint of one sloping down the rear bodywork.
You can check out our gallery of the new 2017 Mercedes W08 F1 car.
