They went with more black and less silver than previous Mercedes cars, but I don't see anything strange here either.
It's the black that Lewis Hamilton, king of the virtue signal, requested.
I have some Mercedes AMG x Puma shoes that are the same colorway as that car. I bought them like a year and half ago. Pretty sure it's normal.
...Black isn't an uncommon color for cars, just... throwing that out there.
Shadows are also often black, and you seem to be jumping at them.
I guess I should have explained that they chose black specifically for BLM reasons.
Did they make a statement about it?
Everyone in this thread who can't be bothered to look this up: Yes, they switched to a black livery last year specifically for racial reasons. This is most certainly a continuation of that.

I'm sure the driver will love doing 500 laps in a black car with the sun blazing and it's 102 degrees at the pavement.
You kinda have to follow F1 to get it. Mercedes was much always silver. I mean they were colloquially known as the "silver arrows." It's like Ferrari being red. That and Lewis Hamilton specifically pushed the "BLM livery" and many other woke things. It's not a reach or random coincidence, it's very intentional.
If I could face palm any harder my head would fall off
Sorry that it isn't archived, the website is broken again.
Are you crying about a black car? Jesus Christ you pussy
It was painted black for BLM, but okay.
So what? Stop watching then
Why should I? They should stop propagandizing everything for their shitty little "definitely not women starting a race war" movement.
They have a right to? You have a right to boycott Mercedes
Actually, they don't have the right. In the regulations of the sport, political messages are explicitly banned. The only reason they get away with it is because Hamilton is a racist crybaby.
Then stop watching and save us from your crying
Why should I stop watching? I've been watching for over 20 years of my life. They've been involved for two years - they are the ones that can fuck off. They don't even like F1, they just convinced some sucker that they represent him because he's black.
BLM represents women's interests. No one else's.
Fuck off, IP harvester.
