Red Bull has launched the new car it hopes will enable Max Verstappen to retain the world drivers' title.
"I'm recharged and looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a car designed to new rules aimed at producing closer racing," said Verstappen.
"Now we have the number one on the car, the challenge is to keep it on the car," said team principal Christian Horner.
"Despite the new set of regulations, motivation is sky high."
Horner admitted that the new car's technical secrets were not fully revealed in its current form.
"The car will not look very much like this when we get to the first race," he said.
The launch was handled as a video presentation and the media were not able to ask questions. However, the media were able to watch the launch.
Red Bull's Horner described the new rules as "the biggest regulation change for 30 or 40 years" and admitted there was anxiety at Red Bull as to whether they had fully maximised their potential.
"We're aiming to build on what we achieved last year and the target is to try and win the title," Horner said.
The big unknown is whether we missed something with the rules - whether another team has stolen a march?
Red Bull also announced a new title sponsorship and technology transfer deal with computing giant Oracle. The deal is said to be among the most lucrative in F1 history.
Red Bull declined to comment on the value of the deal, but it is said to be worth $100m (£74m) a year for the next five seasons.
Oracle's computing expertise will improve the team's capabilities in race strategy planning and their new engine department, among other areas.
Ground effect is a phenomenon that produces a much larger proportion of the overall aerodynamic downforce from under the car.
The goal is to create cars that reduce the turbulence experienced by a car behind it, so it does not lose as much downforce and can follow more closely.
F1 has adopted larger 18-inch wheels and lower-profile tyres to bring it more into line with other race cars.
Pirelli has designed new tyres that will allow drivers to push harder for longer in races, rather than lap seconds off the pace to keep tyres under a certain temperature threshold, as has been the case for the last decade.
Verstappen said the new tyres and wheels, which are taller than those used last year, will take some getting used to.
"A lot is unknown about the car," he said. "What is important is to prepare yourself in the best way possible physically, but in terms of the car you don't know. I am very curious to see how the car goes on track."
"The biggest thing for me is the view from the cockpit with these big tyres - driving the car just feels like it has a bit less grip but you get used to that."
He said he was not going to change anything about his approach, despite becoming a world champion for the first time.
"I just do what I do all the time," Verstappen said. "There is no reason to suddenly be different. Of course as a driver the new regulations you have to get used to the car. I'm just trying to do my best and we'll see where we end up."
It's not like you just jump in and it's an upgrade from last year. That is going to be the biggest challenge.
