Title sponsor HQ to host McLaren launch

(GMM) McLaren's 2010 car will be launched at title sponsor Vodafone's UK headquarters next Friday.

The British team announced last week that the MP4-25, to be raced this year by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, will be unveiled publicly on the morning of 29 January.

The location of the event was not previously known, but on Friday it emerged that it will take place at Vodafone's Newbury headquarters, about 50km from London.

3,000 employers work at telecommunications giant Vodafone's 100m pounds sterling base, which was opened in 2002 and is located in the county of Berkshire.

It is a state of the art campus of seven three-floor buildings.
