It's that time of the year again, when F1's coming weeks will be rhythmed by the teams' various car launches, staring with McLaren.

The Woking-based outfit will pull the covers off its 2021 car this evening and the event will be streamed live from 7pm UK.

Just check back here at the appropriate time to follow the launch.

All suited and booted, Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris will gather around their new Mercedes-powered MCL35M and deliver their first impressions of their 2021 charger and their prospects for the upcoming season.

McLaren ambitions to lead the midfield battle once again this season and hold its own as Formula 1's third best team on the grid.

But there are whispers that Zak Brown and his valiant troops aren't dismissing an upset, or perhaps even two, over the course of the team's record 23-race campaign.

And a return to the winner's circle is what McLaren's loyal fans are longing for.
