Even though the official launch is still more than an hour away, Mercedes have already sent their new W09 EQ Power+ out on track, in the hands of Valtteri Bottas. The team will do a filming day at Silverstone.
The car is scheduled to be handed over to World Champion Lewis Hamilton in the afternoon.
