The 75th anniversary season of F1 will kick off uniquely, as all 10 teams are set to unveil their 2025 liveries together at London’s O2 Arena on February 18. This showcase will feature all 20 drivers alongside their team principals, offering fans an exclusive first glimpse of the F1 grid ahead of the season opener at the Australian Grand Prix on March 16.
Usually, all the 10 teams reveal their liveries on any date around February but next season, the liveries will be announced on the same night in a grand event in London.
This groundbreaking world premiere event will be held from 20:00 to 22:00 GMT and is being crafted by creative mastermind Brian Burke of BrianBurkeCreative, in collaboration with Stufish Entertainment Architects, DX7 Design, and production company 1826.
Tickets are available in three price tiers, starting at £58 for prime seating within The O2. Sales begin at 10:00 GMT on November 15 via theo2.co.uk/F175live. Fans unable to attend in person can still catch the excitement remotely, with streaming and broadcast options to be revealed soon. Organizers are committed to making this landmark celebration accessible for fans globally, whether in the arena or watching from afar.
“The FIA is delighted to join our colleagues at FOM and all the teams in the staging of the inaugural Formula 1 season launch event,” FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said.
“The occasion will also serve as a fitting prelude to a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the sport throughout the 2025 season,” he added.
