The preliminary stages of the 2020 Formula 1 season are well and truly underway. Mercedes were centre stage during the first week of pre-season testing but what have they been up to on social media?

Hamilton's Karting Days

Lewis Hamilton made a name for himself during his karting days. It was clear he was strong from a very young age with this impressive move. 

More innovation

Mercedes stole the headlines with their Dual-Axis Steering (DAS) and it created a storm of conversation. Is it legal? Will it stay legal? Will it be made illegal in 2021? These questions were floating all around the world of Formula 1 but that hasn't stopped them innovating in other ways...

Mercedes are yet to reveal their lineup for the second week of testing but Valtteri Bottas may have hinted at a stint in Mercedes' 2020 challenger on Wednesday. The Silver Arrows are expected to rotate duties on the day in order to maximise the number of laps.

Valtteri Bottas is used to zooming around the track on four wheels in his Mercedes Formula 1 car but the Finn has been on two wheels and going much slower than he normally does.

Mercedes have been unstoppable winning the last six World Championships and with their latest innovation have Mercedes become the villains? The team can laugh about it now with an iconic link to Star Wars!

Mercedes dominated the first week of testing and they're ready to get back on track and prove their credentials all over again. They've shown innovation, so is there any teams that can match them?
