Hey not sure if this or a similar topic has been up, but i was wondering as the Formula 1 launches are coming up, such as Mercedes launch tomorrow (25th Jan) I was wondering if we will be able to see any of the launches anywhere?
Will BBC cover any of this, as i know Jake, DC and EJ are al over their for tomorrow, will be be able to see any of it? Or will it be a wait for YouTube kind of thing?
Can't wait we can see all the 010 cars to see what everyone has came up with (especially USF1).

I'm not sure that they will show the car tomorrow, its listed as a 'Team Launch' in a few places, with the car launch on 1st Feb at the testing.

The Mercedes show tomorrow could be a nice friendly chat in team uniforms with Brawn, Schumacher, Rosberg and Heidfeld saying they 'intend to fight for the championship this year'/'will be happy to score points'/'will be happy to be ahead of USF1.' (delete as appropriate) hehe

Ferrari is the first official car launch on Thursday.

ha, just seen it ye. Was just about to stick one up after got the email alert this morning. The pics are tiny though. Still better than nothing, car looks clean in those colours. I think they have chosen well, in the sun that thing will look amazing!

just incase - stick three of these in. 'W' and then maybe 'twitpic.com' stick a / in and then 'zoncv'

sorry not sure if we are allowed to use other sites on here...

Am I right in thinking by the way that is it Merc GP or Merc F1 as the team name? Does that mean that Brawn goes down in history as the most sucessful team ever with a 100% record?

Good point! Have any other teams ever won a WDC and WCC on their first outing and then re-branded or sold the team?
