Formula 1 is set to launch the 2025 season with a historic, unified livery reveal. On 18 February, all 10 F1 teams will unveil their new liveries simultaneously at London’s O2 Arena, marking a major shift from the traditional individual launches. The star-studded event will feature all 20 drivers, team principals, and a live audience, creating an electrifying atmosphere for fans worldwide.
While this F1 2025 livery launch will showcase the fresh designs, some teams may still hold separate events to provide a more detailed look at their new F1 cars. The Australian Grand Prix kicks off the season on 16 March, and excitement is already building. The event will be broadcast live, though details have yet to be announced.
