The first launches of some of the new Formula 1 cars are over and we know what some liveries will look like. Earlier RacingNews365 made its own concept livery for Red Bull and Ferrari, now it’s Mercedes’ turn!
Mercedes is entering the new power unit regulations after enduring four challenging years in Formula 1. Despite initially dominating the turbo-hybrid era from 2014, they struggled during the ground effect era, with only occasional wins and no title challenges. While finishing as runners-up in the constructors’ championship in 2023 and 2025, they were far from their previous success of eight titles from 2014 to 2021. Nevertheless, Mercedes is favored for the upcoming 2026 era, largely due to the new power unit. Their livery for this year will be unveiled on Thursday, with speculation on whether it will be the design for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli’s title campaign. RacingNews365 has already created a concept design for fans to view.
