Evidently, Formula One teams are extremely impatient when it comes to launching their new cars. First and foremost, it was Haas F1, who released a digital rendering of their new livery. Now, it seems that Mercedes F1 are doing the same thing with their 2020 beast, the W11.

In the build-up to the event, the German giants have been dropping a lot of hints about the new car. It is also noteworthy that multinational chemicals company, Ineos, is rumoured to have influenced the livery heavily.

Judging from the teases, there will be a significant shade of red on the W11 car. INEOS has been heavily involved in a number of sporting teams and events. The reigning champions are just the latest ones to partner the chemicals giant. All in all, the car looks absolutely amazing, and absolutely screams Mercedes AMG F1.

However, it must be said that today’s launch is just to showcase the livery. So it more than likely that the new livery will be seen on the 2019 car. However, the W11 will make its actual debut on the 14th of February, and later on it will hit the track for pre-season testing in Barcelona.
