Mercedes GP to show 2010 livery on January 25

(GMM) The 2010 Mercedes GP car will not be revealed when the Brackley based team stages its launch event in Stuttgart on January 25.

Some reports on Friday said the car will be displayed at the carmaker's Unterturkheim museum later this month, but in fact only the new livery is to be launched at that event.

The DPA news agency said the new color-scheme will be shown in Stuttgart on the championship-winning Brawn car, before the 2010 single seater is tested for the first time on February 1 at Valencia.

We reported recently that the car will be called the 'Mercedes-Petronas RB1', with the 'RB' standing for team boss Ross Brawn.
