The event will be a digital one and will take place at Silverstone, two days after Aston Martin’s reveal at the same venue. Usually, after such a launch, Mercedes conducts a physical shakedown run at Silverstone on the same day. The W15 will be the first Mercedes car of the ground-effect era to be built around a different concept, as the team realized that continuing with their initial concept for a second year was a mistake. This launch date is the latest so far, with other teams like Stake F1, Williams, and Ferrari also announcing their schedules.
