Mercedes have installed a new light system on Lewis Hamilton’s car this morning. Not only do they have the rear tail light working, but they’ve also added in lights on the endplates of the rear wing.

This could be really helpful during wet races through the season, and also look pretty cool during the night races if they decide to keep it! Let us know what you think below in the comments!
