Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle takes a look at what's to come in the 2019 F1 season

More than half the 2019 Formula 1 grid have confirmed the dates they will launch their cars for the new season.

New aerodynamic rules designed to aid overtaking mean that the new 2019 cars will look different to their predecessors - particularly at the front of the car - for the new season, as explained in the video above.

In keeping with recent tradition, most teams look set to reveal their challengers in the week before testing begins at Barcelona on February 18.

Toro Rosso are currently scheduled to kick off 'launch week' on Monday February 11 with what looks to be an online reveal of their new STR14.
