Bottas drops sneak peek of new-look Mercedes

Valtteri Bottas has given fans an early glimpse of the Mercedes W12 ahead of its launch on Tuesday.

Via a story post on his official Instagram account, Bottas shared a selfie of himself in his new Mercedes fire suit standing beside the new-look car.

The German manufacturer has teased fans with imagery of the W12 in the build-up to its reveal, sharing renders of the airbox and front wing, the two elements that sport INEOS and Petronas branding respectively.

Captioning his story, Bottas wrote simply: "A sneaky peak [sic] at this year's new look." The comment was accompanied by a knowing wink.

Mercedes has since also shared the post.

You can find all the details of how to watch the Mercedes launch ceremony, which will commence at 11:00 GMT, here. The launch will also be available to watch on the GPFans website and app.
