2021 Season Launch/Pre-Season Testing
the known dates so far:

Mclaren MCL35M - Feb 15 at Woking
Alfa Romeo C41 - Feb 22 in Warsaw Poland
Mercedes W12 E Performance- Mar 2 Online

Pre-season testing dates:
March 12-14 in Bahrain

hoping i have the car names right...

given the carry over of the rules, Mclaren's upgraded car is now called the MCL35M.

Alfa used the C39 designation for their 2020 entry but this year they are jumping to C41 despite it also being an upgraded car.

Merc is dropping the 'Q' from last years W11 EQ Performance nomenclature now just the W12 E Performance.

Not exactly a lot of Merc branding on there. And still rather light of proper sponsors.

I will come back again tomorrow to respond further, but the fact that they are displaying Coca Cola would seem to rather negate your comment.

Surely more sponsor logos will appear or feature differently once the ciggy/better tomorrow logos are removed for the actual race livery?

I didn’t say no sponsors, just rather light. Coke isn’t a new deal for them.

Coke logo is small and not in corporate colours.
Might be just free vending machines and all the coke you can drink for the factory and on circuit crew

It looks quite lovely from the side behind the cockpit - two neat, straight lines along the top and an uncluttered sidepod.

It's a customer deal with no marketing deal, like Racing Point's was, hence no logos.

Quite possibly. Late last year, MSP Sports Capital bought a 15% stake in McLaren, which will rise to 33% next year. The consortium is made up of a hedge firm subsidiary and a private investment firm. This type of arrangement could be more common than just one big commercial sponsor.

In McLaren's case, of course, it has a division (McLaren Automotive) which is very profitable.

Teams desire more secure long-term arrangements than a title sponsor which is at the whim of capricious economic shifts and sudden decisions by commercial board members.

There are still enough sponsors. McLaren do look good with their livery though. Nice orange and Blue, with plenty of good signage on it. Hopefully they can do enough on the track to be up there. I'm sure they will, quite a few podiums will come their way I am sure

Hopefully the team can keep stability in terms of it's higher up staff, but it's good to have extra money coming in for now. Hopefully it will be enough to get the results they need on the track. Teams need extra funding in this current climate

Vacuous speculation time commences. I'll take part anyway. McLaren are going to win this year. They've been on the up and up and with Ricciardo bringing a little of bounce, they'll have a spring in their step. He will pull off a win, probably with some super on-the-edge move.

Bring on the other launches.
