McLaren unveils car for 2011 F1 season

Berlin: The McLaren Formula One team on Friday launched its car for the 2011 season at a presentation in Berlin attended by British drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

The new MP4-26, like its recent predecessors, carries a Mercedes engine, will be given its first run at the second pre-season test in Jerez next week.

McLaren is the last of the leading teams to present its car for the new season which begins in Bahrain on March 13.

At the first testing sessions in Valencia this week, the British-based team used an interim model.
