Mercedes officially unveiled their 2012 car, named the W03, in Barcelona on Tuesday ahead of the second pre-season test.
The car has been pictured in several spy shots prior to todays launch so it comes as no susprise that the team have opted for the now standard stepped nose.
The W03 will make its on-track public debut later today with Michael Schumacher behind the wheel, but the team has already completed 300km of running during a private shakedown on Sunday and a further 50km during a filming day at Silverstone.
