Mercedes unveil never-before-seen steering wheel button that Lewis Hamilton will use this season before his switch to Ferrari... and is the first ever on a Formula One car as the team look to bounce-back from previous underwhelming campaigns

Mercedes Formula One team have unveiled a brand new steering wheel addition that has never been seen in the sport.

Teams have been busy unveiling their new cars for the upcoming season that gets started in Bahrain on March 9 and have been going through first testing sessions in the Middle Eastern nation.

Mercedes are hoping to bounce-back from difficult back-to-back seasons that has seen Red Bull dominate both the driver's and constructors championship, with Max Verstappen overtaking Lewis Hamilton to be the biggest name on the grid.

The German garage led by team principal Toto Wolff want to reward Hamilton with a record-breaking eighth world championship title during his final year at the team before he prepares to join Ferrari next year.
