Mercedes has fired up its Mercedes-AMG W11 for the first time ahead of the new season. The W11, its challenger for the 2020 Formula 1 season, will be unveiled on February 14 during a shakedown at the Silverstone Circuit.
Mercedes is aiming for a record-breaking seventh successive Constructors’ title in 2020, having been unbeaten throughout Formula 1’s hybrid era.
It has retained both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, marking the fourth year that the duo have formed Mercedes driver line-up.
Hamilton swept to 11 victories en route to a sixth world title in 2019 while four-time winner Bottas finished runner-up in the standings, marking his best season in Formula 1.
Mercedes is the latest team to confirm its 2020 launch plans, following on from Ferrari (February 11), Renault (February 12) and McLaren (February 13).
Alpha Tauri will unveil its 2020 programme later on February 14 at an event in Salzburg.
