Mercedes chief Paddy Lowe has admitted the world champions worry about the threat Ferrari pose to their F1 supremacy ahead of the 2016 season. The top two teams from last season both gave the first glimpses of their new cars on Friday, with Ferrari holding an official unveiling for their SF16-H online while Mercedes completed a shakedown with their new W07.Ferrari say they have taken some innovative steps in an attempt to close the gap, redesigning the front of their car and power unit layout, but Mercedes enter 2016 as F1s undisputed leading force after back-to-back world titles. But speaking after the W07 was put through its early laps at Silverstone, Mercedes executive director Lowe acknowledged the likelihood of an increased challenge from their Italian rivals.We see Ferrari as our main threat and it remains to be seen how we position ourselves in the weeks to come, Lowe told Sky Sports News HQ.Ferrari are a very strong competitor and one we worry about. It keeps us motivated to keep us pushing all the time.

For sure, they are going to be a big threat so we need to keep pushing. Who knows where we are going to be first race?Ferrari launch: New SF16-H is unveiledWith the new Ferrari and Williams cars breaking cover on Friday, and McLaren to follow on Sunday, Lowe admits Mercedes engineers will already be looking out for something they may have missed in the W07s conception.This is a great time of year, he said. One of the games we are all playing behind the scenes is waiting for those launch photos and our aerodynamicists will pour over those to see if there is something interesting or something we havent thought of. Craig Slater catches up with Nico Rosberg at Silverstone Although Mercedes Silverstone shakedown was mainly for filming purposes, and they were were restricted to 100km and running on demonstration tyres, the laps completed would have allowed them to iron out any teething problems with the W07.However, in what could already be considered an ominous sign for their would-be 2016 rivals, Lowe revealed: We havent even taken the engine cover off yet in the whole morning session which is a really good sign of the reliability weve achieved at this point.Today is all about filming and making sure we are able to hit the ground running on Monday when we get into the proper testing and see whether there are any major issues that weve overlooked.
