Mercedes has managed to get two bites out of the Formula 1 launch season, first unveiling the addition of Ineos-instigated burgundy to the overall livery, before peeling the virtual covers off the W11 before pre-season testing gets underway.
And, for the most part, the W11 looks like nothing more than an evolution. But one must be mindful that last year Mercedes, having turned up in week one of testing with something that amounted to a beta-spec car, enacted an overhaul of the full aero package in the space of a week.
Although technical chief James Allison has mentioned that the team will not persist with the strategy of bringing an "entire new car" to the second week of testing, there will be an upgrade package to help the team prepare for Melbourne.
