Mercedes is turning heads this weekend at the Circuit of the Americas with a striking blue livery for the United States Grand Prix. The German team cooked up the special design in collaboration with MANUFAKTUR, ditching the usual silver look for something completely different. It's not the first time Toto Wolff's squad has experimented with blue this season either, after incorporating Petronas branding at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
