With other teams racing against time to get their cars built and ready for pre-season testing in Spain next week, Mercedes have been on track in every respect.
Technical director James Allison says the team's worked hard on the suspension and aerodynamics to deliver a car that would be kinder to its tyres than last year.
Some 7,000 drawings were turned into components and the cumulative testing of parts amounted to around 500,000km before the car left the garage for the first time.
The season starts in Australia on March 17.
