Mercedes to unveil car before Barcelona test

14 February 2012

Mercedes will present its new car to the media before the start of next week’s Barcelona test session. Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg and team chiefs will assemble in the Circuit de Catalunya pit lane from 8:20am, with testing then continuing from 9am (GMT +1).

The new car has been branded F1 W03, dropping the ‘MGP’ label now that the outfit has modified its name from Mercedes GP to Mercedes AMG.

The Brackley squad began its winter testing programme in Jerez but used the 2011 car in a bid to obtain more accurate comparisons for the modified Pirelli tyres as well as further development time with the new chassis.

Mercedes’ Barcelona testing programme for next week is as follows:

Tuesday - Michael Schumacher
Wednesday - Nico Rosberg
Thursday - Michael Schumacher
Friday - Nico Rosberg
