Formula 1 teams rejected Liberty Media's idea of a mega pre-season event during which teams would assemble at a venue and jointly present their new cars.
The sport's commercial rights holder had suggested the concept as a means of maximizing media exposure for the teams and generating a resounding buzz.
However, according to Auto Motor und Sport, teams feared a joint launch would dilute their individual impact, but also perhaps lead to some unwanted intra-team technical scrutiny.
As the calendar of presentations currently stands, Toro Rosso is scheduled to be the first team to unveil its 2019 charger online on February 11, with Renault rolling out its R.S.19 at Enstone the following day.
Racing Point will present its new identity - and likely new colors - in Toronto on February 13 while McLaren will premiere its MCL34 at Woking on Valentine's Day.
Ferrari will bring its 2019 prancing horse out of its stable in Maranello on February 15 while Sauber is going for pitlane unveiling in Barcelona early on February 18, the day pre-season kicks off at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Haas could follow last year's presentation scheme by releasing images of its new car early, while Mercedes, Williams and Red Bull Racing have yet to divulge their presentation plans.
