The team will join Haas, Mercedes, Manor and most likely Williams in launching the car on the morning of February 22 at the Circuit de Catalunya outside of Barcelona. The car will be rolled out at 8:30am and presented to the media before the light goes green on pre-season testing 30 minutes later. The car will again be powered by Mercedes and carries the hopes of Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg.
Ferrari is due to be the first team to take the wraps off its car on Friday, with an online launch. McLaren will do the same on Sunday, while Sauber is waiting until the second week of testing to launch its 2016 car.
