All car launches are essentially livery launches as the actual car doesn't have any of the bits from the "launch car".

Teams tend to keep most things undercover until the Saturday morning of Aussie F1 weekend.

Yes, I'm conscious that the cars that race at the first race are different to the cars that appear at the first test, but to say the actual car doesn't have any of the "bits" from the "launch car" is a pretty bold statement- I suspect that the basic engine architecture, gearbox, cooling, wiring loom, chassis, nose (although not necessarily front wing, granted), brakes, to name a few, will be the same.
