After Williams launched their FW35, it now means we have a full set of F1 2013 cars.
Here is a collage I created, with images of all the 2013 spec machines. The car launches kicked off with Lotus at their Enstone factory, revealing the impressive looking E21 and its new livery. We then moved on to McLaren, who's glamorous launch tugged on the heart strings of motorsport fans watching. The MP4-28 debuted after Button and new driver Perez took away the covers, revealing a radically changed car.
The launched then moved on to Force India, who had a more low key launch at the Silverstone Wing. They, like McLaren, opted for the "vanity" panel but had only one driver to uncover the car, with Di Resta's future team mate no where to be seen. Next up came Ferrari in a typically flamboyant launch. It happened away from the prying eyes of fans, but looked impressive from the videos posted after. Like Force India, they also went for the "vanity panel".
The launches kept on coming with Sauber. They revealed an all new driver line up for 2013 and a radical looking car to be driven by them. The C32 had a unique ridged nosecone and extremely slim side pods. Red Bull came next with a rather secretive launch, not broadcast to the fans and covering up the car just after it was launched. They had a new livery to show off, with splashes of purple mixing it with the blue's and red's.
Mercedes launched their 2013 challenger at the Jerez test track, with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg removing the covers from the "Silver Arrows". It looked stunning in the Spanish sunshine, but failed to deliver on the first two days of testing. Toro Rosso launched their car on the same day, revealing a dramatically changed nose cone but elsewhere a rather similar design. However Vergne emphasised under the purple and gold bodywork was a very different car.
Marussia managed to make it to the first test, in previous years they have barely made the last one. They launched the MR02 in the Jerez pit lane, showing off a tidy and very different machine. Caterham were next up in a similar launch, revealing a new livery but a rather similar car to 2012.
Williams revealed their 2013 car, the final puzzle piece in this seasons car line up. It looked different in comparison to the rest, with a blunt nose and shapely sidepods. They also revealed the promoted Valtteri Bottas, alongside Pastor Maldonado. There car was the last to be revealed, after using the 2012 car at the first test in Jerez.
