McLaren to launch car at Vodafone HQ

Friday, 22 January 2010 12:40

McLaren will unveil its new all-star British world champion driver line-up and 2010 car at title sponsor Vodafone’s UK headquarters, the team has confirmed.

The Woking-based squad had already announced it would launch its 2010 car on January 29 in the UK, but the venue had remained unspecified.

Its launch, which is one of the most eagerly-anticipated on the grid, will take place at Vodafone’s HQ in Newbury where world champion and new signing Jenson Button will appear alongside 2008 title winner Lewis Hamilton in McLaren colours for the first time.

McLaren has also confirmed that fans will be able to watch the MP4-25’s unveiling and subsequent on-stage interviews with the drivers via a live stream of the event on the team’s official website from 11am next Friday.

Following the UK launch, the team will then fly out its new car to Valencia where pre-season testing begins on February 1.
