Watch: live launch of McLaren F1 car

It's getting a bit exciting now, isn't it? Formula One is slowly gearing itself up for the new season, and today sees McLaren launch it's 2013 contender: the new MP4-28.

You can watch the reveal of Jenson Button and new-signing Sergio Perez's rather tasty company car live and direct from the fastidiously clean McLaren Technology Centre, via the video link below. Remember, many secret agents have perished trying to penetrate this place...

And, as a special treat, we're told to expect a rather noisy surprise just after 11am, so keep your ears pinned to your computer screen.
