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.

Mercedes presents new car

Alfa Romeo and McLaren have already announced their launch date. McLaren are the first team with their presentation, on February 15 and Alfa Romeo's will follow on February 22.

In a new video, Mercedes announced when the F1 W12 will be presented. March 2, 2021 was the date confirmed, making Mercedes the last team to present their car although that could change when other teams announce their unveilings.
