F1 News: Mercedes Tease A Turquoise W14 And Fans Are Going Mad Over It
Mercedes are set to unveil the W14 livery this week and have been teasing the colour scheme for a couple of weeks. Now, the team have led fans to believe their 2023 contender will sport a turquoise livery.
Posting to social media, the team shared a video of the camera lens being painted Petronas turquoise.
Fans have been hoping for a livery change on the W14 with many calling for the team to return to the all-black livery from the 2021 season. Since the latest FIA ruling which prohibits F1 drivers from making any personal, religious, or political statements, fans have argued that the all-black livery would make a statement.
After the turquoise tease, fans were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. One wrote:
"Ok, but hear me out just for a second. A green Mercedes would be AWESOME !"
Another fan commented on the various different teases we have seen recently. They responded:
"Merc admin is literally responding to all questions about colours with : 'Well yes, but actually no'"
Other fans commented:
"If the new livery is this color the W14 will look like a Tiffany jewel box"
"Stop teasing us admin i know you enjoy watching us suffer"
"Mercedes like suspense and mystery, this is why fans are so anxious to see the w14 bomb"
"Ok I was hoping for the black but this is a gorgeous colour and I’m here for it"
"Please tell me this is just a green part of the full black car"
The Brackley-based team will be unveiling the Mercedes W14 livery on Wednesday 15 February, ahead of the 2023 season which begins with the Bahrain Grand Prix on 3-5 March.
