Mercedes boss Toto Wolff talked Lewis Hamilton and more as the team launched their adidas kit for the 2025 F1 season

The Italian racer will face a huge test against his first F1 team-mate, George Russell, who proved himself by holding his own against Hamilton ever since moving to Mercedes in 2022. Ahead of his debut season with the team, Antonelli was put through his paces, returning to the track in a Mercedes testing day reminiscent of his karting days.

Mercedes is trying to re-invent itself following the departure of Lewis Hamilton, according to team principal Toto Wolff, who says it was the right time for both parties to have a new challenge.
