Lewis Hamilton said he was &#x27;excited&#x27; on Wednesday (February 14) as Mercedes presented a heavily-revised car for the seven-times world champion&#x27;s last season before he moves to Ferrari. Mercedes finished second overall in 2023 but the former champions failed to win a race for the first time in 11 years, with Red Bull winning 21 of 22 and Max Verstappen taking his third title in a row. Hamilton, 39, announced this month that he would be leaving at the end of the season after signing a multi-year deal. The Briton said, in an online launch before the first laps at Silverstone circuit on Wednesday (February 14), that it had been an emotional time and it felt surreal to be starting his 12th season with the team. Team boss Toto Wolff said once-dominant Mercedes faced a big challenge to get back to the top. The W15 car has a silver nose, marking the 90th anniversary of Mercedes&#x27; famed &#x27;Silver Arrows&#x27;, plus the familiar red, green and black of recent seasons. Hamilton&#x27;s team mate George Russell said he just wanted to get behind the wheel to see how it performed. The season starts in Bahrain on March 2. <div>-- Report from Reuters</div>
