Mercedes W05

The 2014 Mercedes W05 livery for F1 2012 ™ by Codemasters . Mercedes livery looks quite a lot different to 2013, a lot more black on the airbox... The car retains its usual silver livery, with a striking green across the car as part of the sponsorship with Petronas.

Mercedes AMG Petronas concluded the opening pre-season test of the 2014 season at the Circuito de Jerez, with first Nico Rosberg and then Lewis Hamilton taking the wheel of the F1 W05 for the fourth and final day of running in Spain.

The team headed back from Jerez to the UK to prepare for the second pre-season test, to be held in less than two weeks’ time at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Nico Rosberg: It’s come as a bit of a surprise that we were able to do so many laps here today, and throughout the whole week. I was able to do a full race simulation on only the fourth day of winter testing, so we can be very happy about that. We decided that I should stop driving at lunch time and hand over to Lewis as I had collected a lot more mileage than him at the time, which is a normal team decision. The past few days and weeks have been a great team effort; both factories in Brackley and Brixworth and also our fluid partner PETRONAS have been a great working group. It’s been a decent start, but there is still a lot of work ahead of us in the next six weeks because it’s such a big mission to get reliability with these new cars. Performance-wise we don’t know where we are because you can’t really compare to the other cars, but that’s not the focus right now. We’ve learned a lot this week so it’s an encouraging start to the year.

Lewis Hamilton: I was a little bit down on mileage this week, so it was good to get some more time in the car this afternoon as every little helps at this stage. It’s been a fantastic week for the team. We’ve put a lot of laps on the car which is a huge accomplishment. It’s a bit early to say this definitely, but right now the car feels pretty good. Like every year we’ve got a lot of work to do; it’s a new challenge this season and the workload is maybe a bit higher than in previous years, but it’s a new experience for everyone and I’m enjoying it. This week has just been about getting the mileage on the car and we’ve managed to do that quite successfully, which is really encouraging as reliability is the biggest positive we could hope to take away from here. So far so good; now we just have to continue working hard and see what happens in Bahrain. (Mercedes)
