Formula 1: What to expect from the official car launch event – Where to watch it

The Formula 1 event at London’s O2 Arena, celebrating 75 years of the sport’s history, promises to be spectacular

Newsroom February 18 11:45

The launch event for the 2025 Formula 1 season is just around the corner. The pinnacle of motorsport is gearing up for a unique event at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, February 18, unlike anything seen before.

All 10 teams, along with the 20 drivers on the grid, will be present, with Formula 1 promising “an unprecedented event” featuring “live musical performances and various other forms of entertainment.”

The “Games” Teams Will Play

At the Formula 1 event, all 10 teams are expected to showcase the liveries their cars will sport for the upcoming season. However, it remains unknown which teams will bring their actual 2025 cars to the O2 Arena, as most are expected to display a demo car painted in their new colors.

McLaren Racing and Williams Racing might present their actual cars since they have already unveiled them. However, they don’t want prying eyes from rival teams inspecting their designs too closely. In McLaren’s case, the team from Woking would rather have Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes get their first close-up look at the MCL39 during pre-season testing in Bahrain.

Every team.

Every livery reveal.
