Mercedes GP has revealed the colors they will use in on their cars for the 2010 world championship last Monday.

Shortly right after, Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg donned their uniforms—featuring a black nose and a turquoise sheen in respect to title sponsor Petronas—in front of hundreds of media representatives.

Meanwhile, the car that will be used in the championship will be unveiled and tested in Spain next Monday. The vehicle will be called the MGP W01.

“On the nose and other parts of the car, traces of black carbon fibre are visible,” said Mercedes, referring to the fact that the traditional use of silver dates back to when white paint was sanded off the 1934 car to reduce weight.

“We are perfectly on schedule,” said Norbert Haug, responding as to why the 2009 Brawn car was used for the livery launch. “If you are testing on 1 February and you have already finished the car beforehand, then you have not used your time correctly,” Haug said. .

Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, meanwhile, did not give any word after Mercedes officials insisted for weeks Schumacher and Rosberg’s representation of the German team.
