German newspaper Bild is reporting that Mercedes will launch its car at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Unterturkheim, Stuttgart.

They also report Schumacher would not drive the car until an official test on February 10 in Jerez, meaning Nico Rosberg will drive the car first.

Plans for a joint car launch were scrapped because it was thought certain teams would get more coverage than others, and some teams like Lotus said that they would not have a car ready by the time of the common launch. FOTA have said they will look into the concept for 2011.
