Mercedes announce March 2nd car launch date

Mercedes is the third team to announce a date for the presentation of their new car. Mercedes' F1 W12 will not be presented until the beginning of March, a change from the normal February date.

In the run-up to a new Formula One season, it is always a matter of looking forward to the teams' new cars. This season, not much will change on the car itself as the regulations remain pretty much the same apart from the floor. However, the livery may change and so it is a good time to see what the teams have come up with this year.
