Mercedes presents W13 in the morning on February 18

After Ferrari announced a time earlier on Friday, it is now also known what time Mercedes will show the new W13. On Friday, February 18 at 09:00 GMT, the presentation will start.

Lewis Hamilton will be present at the presentation, Mercedes says in a press release. The seven-time champion will present the brand new car together with Toto Wolff and George Russell. At 09:30 GMT the first renders are expected. Mercedes will continue right away because later that day the W13 will already be sent to the circuit for a film day. The first photos and videos of that are expected around 14:30.

Black or back to silver?

What color the Mercedes W13 will have is not yet known. For a long time, it was said that black will be exchanged for the traditional silver, but earlier on Friday, the first pictures of Russell in his new racing suit were shown. Instead of white or silver, the suit is black, just as it has been for the past two seasons.
