Lewis Hamilton has teased Formula 1 fans on social media as his final Mercedes challenger looks set for a shakedown session.
The Brackley-based team managed to secure second place in the constructors’ championship last season with 409 points, but they were blown out the park by Red Bull, who scored more than double their tally.
Posting on his Instagram story, the seven-time world champion shared pictures of a pit-board displaying ‘Lewis’, as well as a snap of what looks to be Silverstone, suggesting that the W15 is set for a shakedown test.
Under the new F1 regulations, the teams are allowed to drive up to 200 kilometres in shakedown sessions before pre-season testing.
