Lewis Hamilton Posts Sneak 2013 Mercedes F1 Car Video

Lewis Hamilton has posted a sneaky vid of the 2013 Mercedes F1 car before its official unveil at the first test of the season.

The Twitter-happy, former world champ from Stevenage is up to his internet tricks again, with a quick video of the car recorded on a new BlackBerry phone as it returned to the pits in the hands of Mercedes regular Nico Rosberg.

The footage - which comes way before the team had planned to take the covers off for the media - shows the car Hamilton hopes will let him win his first high-level single-seater race outside of the McLaren team.

Unless it's an intentional corporate leak, the video brings back memories of last season, when Hamilton posted telemetry details from his and team-mate Jenson Button's cars.
