Mercedes will complete a shakedown of its 2020 car today at the Silverstone circuit. Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will officially unveil the W11 before it hits the track.
Mercedes will be looking to repeat last year’s success in their quest of a seventh Constructors’ Championship. The German team has dominated the turbo-hybrid era, winning every championship in the last 5 years. Such is the domination, that the Brackley outfit has won 74% of all F1 races that have been held in the turbo-hybrid era.
Speaking of car launches, the W11 isn’t the only F1 car that will be launched today. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, will be launching its 2020 car in Milan. The Italian team have teased fans with a completely revamped livery, with the underlying theme being grey. F1 fans now have a double date.

Defending champions Lewis Hamilton also had a message for fans, before the season begins. The Brit acknowledged the seventh World Championship but claimed he would only take it one step at a time. Should Hamilton win the drivers title again, he will have matched the great Michael Schumacher.
Formula 1 winter testing will begin on February 19 and the season officially kicks off in Melbourne on March 13.
