Video: Mercedes show first glimpse of 2023 F1 car

Mercedes have given fans a glimpse into preparations for the 2023 F1 season by sharing footage of George Russell having a seat fitting.

While the 2022 campaign might have only recently come to an end, work for next year is already well underway.

In a video released by the Silver Arrows, Russell is seen visiting the factory to get acquainted with a mock-up of his seat for the team's 2023 car.

Not much is given away in the clip about what we can expect from the W14, but one noticeable change is the appearance of the roll hoop, following a regulation change in light of Zhou Guanyu's crash at the British Grand Prix.

But despite Red Bull's dominance, George Russell suggested that the team are masking their true pace to avoid the FIA introducing regulations that would disadvantage them, adding that drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez could probably go 0.7s per lap quicker if they chose to.
