Mercedes is the latest Formula 1 team to confirm the launch date of its 2019 challenger, the W10.
The Anglo-German outfit, which has won five Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in a row, will be hoping to continue that trend with its new car, which will be unveiled to the public on February 13 – the same date Racing Point (formerly Force India) will unveil its new car.
The team released a short teaser video on social media showing its previous championship winning cars, followed by the date and the hashtag #WelcomeW10.
Mercedes will field an unchanged driver line-up of five-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton alongside team-mate Valtteri Bottas, who is under pressure to perform after failing to score a single race victory last year.
The team will carry out a shakedown at Silverstone with its new car on the day.
