Mercedes teases commemorative livery for German GP

Mercedes has teased the first pictures of a one-off livery that will run on its cars at the German Grand Prix to celebrate the brand's 125th year in motorsport.

The German car giant is the title sponsor of this weekend's race at Hockenheim and is using the event to celebrate 125 years since a Daimler engine took part and won the first car race between Paris and Rouen. In order to mark the event, the F1 team will run an altered livery that features a traditional Mercedes badge on the nose and appears to incorporate white paint -- Germany's traditional racing colour -- with this year's silver and green paintwork.
