For the first time in the sport’s history, all ten teams will come together for a spectacular season launch event at London’s iconic O2 Arena.

Traditionally, the start of the year is marked by individual car launches, where teams unveil their latest contenders before the racing action begins. However, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, an exclusive and groundbreaking event—F1 75 Live—will bring the entire grid under one roof to showcase their new liveries and officially launch the season.

All ten teams—McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Alpine, Haas, Racing Bulls, Williams, and Kick Sauber—will be in attendance, along with their 20 drivers and all team principals. Fans can also look forward to interviews with key figures from the sport, appearances by special guest presenters, and top-tier entertainment throughout the night.

Celebrating 75 years of racing

The much-anticipated F1 75 Live event is set to take place at The O2 in London on February 18, with the two-hour spectacle beginning at 20:00 GMT. Due to overwhelming demand, tickets for the event sold out rapidly, but fans around the world will still have the chance to be part of the experience as F1 75 Live will be broadcast live.

“For the first time, we will unite our fans, all 20 of our sport’s superstars, and some incredible special guests to officially kick off the new season and celebrate our 75th year of racing,” said Formula 1 President Stefano Domenicali.

Throughout the evening, each team will have their moment in the spotlight to unveil their liveries and introduce their driver line-ups. While the full cars won’t be revealed just yet—final preparations are still underway before they head to Bahrain for pre-season testing—this event will set the stage for the season ahead.

Fans can also expect a thrilling spectacle, with the production being overseen by BrianBurkeCreative, the team behind the unforgettable opening and closing ceremonies of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Liveries, drivers, and exciting reveals

In addition to the main event, some teams will host separate car reveal sessions. Williams is scheduled to present its 2025 challenger on February 14 with a special one-off design, before its official livery is showcased at F1 75 Live.

Meanwhile, Haas will unveil its new car during a filming day at Silverstone on February 16, with its official livery also debuting at the London event. Ferrari will hold its own reveal at Fiorano in Maranello on February 19, while Mercedes plans to introduce the W16 on February 24.
