MERCEDES will delay the track debut of its 2012 Formula One car until the second test of the season in Barcelona on February 21, less than a month before the opening race in Australia, the team said yesterday.
Mercedes also announced that its official team name would change to Mercedes AMG Petronas to bring in Mercedes-Benz performance brand AMG. AMG already supplies the sport with both the safety car and medical car and Mercedes motorsport vice-president Norbert Haug said there would be a technology transfer between the partners. Under new rules for 2012, cars can take part in testing only when they have passed the mandatory FIA race crash tests.
