Mercedes has confirmed it will unveil its 2025 F1 car, the W16, two days before the start of pre-season testing. The Brackley-based squad will pull back the cloth on its latest challenger on Monday 24 February. This will be followed by a shakedown in Bahrain the following day, where F1's pre-season test is being held ahead of the opening round in Australia. As part of the F175 Live event at London's O2, the livery for the car will be unveiled just under a week prior, on February 18. The W16 will be the first Mercedes car since the W03 in 2012 not to be driven by Lewis Hamilton, who has moved to Ferrari. Highly-touted rookie Kimi Antonelli will partner George Russell for the eight-time F1 constructors' champions.
