Immediately after the unveiling of Mercedes' W15, the team was inundated with reactions. Reactions from internet users vary: many find Lewis Hamilton and George Russell's new Formula 1 car beautiful, especially with the return of the 'silver arrow' on the nose. Others, on the contrary, find the car unsightly. Here are some of the reactions.
