For the first time in its storied history, Formula 1 will host a groundbreaking season launch event, bringing all 10 teams and their new liveries together under one roof. Scheduled for February 18, 2025, at London’s iconic The O2 arena, the event marks a unique celebration of F1’s 75th anniversary, giving fans an exclusive glimpse into the upcoming season.
This spectacular showcase will feature all 20 drivers alongside key team principals and special guests, allowing fans to connect with the stars of F1. The event will run from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. GMT (1:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. IST), creating a thrilling opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the sport they love.
In addition to live attendance, fans worldwide can tune in via a livestream. Formula 1 has promised more details on streaming options in the coming weeks, ensuring accessibility for global fans eager to be part of this historic event.
F1’s President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali, shared his excitement for the event: “For the first time, we will bring together our fans, all 20 superstars of our sport, and some very special guests to officially kick off our new season and mark our 75th year of racing.” This gathering promises to offer an unmatched experience, especially as the 2025 season shapes up to be a defining chapter following the anticipated drama of 2024.
While fans might hope for a peek at the actual 2025 cars, the event will likely showcase only the new liveries on display models. F1 teams typically keep the final car designs confidential until pre-season testing, which begins in Bahrain on February 26.
This centralized launch also departs from the traditional individual team unveilings. Whether this will become an annual fixture or remain a one-time event is still unconfirmed. For now, it stands as a grand celebration of Formula 1’s legacy and a thrilling start to what promises to be an unforgettable season.
Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets promptly to witness the dawn of the 2025 F1 season—a year that both honors the sport’s rich past and sets the stage for its future.
