The McLaren Mercedes team launched its new car for the 2010 season on Friday morning, with the target of clinching both titles after a mixed campaign in 2009.
The Mercedes-powered MP4-25 was unveiled at Vodafone UK's headquarters in Newbury.
McLaren's new car retains the silver colour of recent years, despite engine partner Mercedes-Benz's switch of focus to its own 'Silver Arrows' outfit.
The car features a high shark-fin engine cover running up to the rear wing, not used by the team in 2009.
The MP4-25 will be driven by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button this year, the reigning world champion having joined the British squad from Brawn GP, with which he won the title last year.
"It was Alexander Graham Bell who said preparation is key to success and we have prepared for this season more comprehensively than ever before," said team boss Martin Whitmarsh.
"As team principal I am honoured to represent this great team, but I am one small part of a group of dedicated and fantastic people.
