Formula 1 has hit a major milestone as a sport. The 2025 season will be the 75th competitive season. To celebrate this key milestone, Formula 1 will host a special launch in London. F1 75 Live will allow the teams to reveal all their liveries on the same night in front of their adoring fans.
Not only will fans be able to see the brand-new liveries before the fly-around circuits, but they will also be able to get up close and personal with their favourite drivers and team bosses. This is poised to be a real treat for fans.
How to watch F1 75 Live?
F1 75 Live will be hosted at the O2 Arena in London on February 18th starting at 8 PM UK Time. 15,000 fans will be able to enjoy the two-hour spectacle involving all twenty drivers and ten team principals, attending the show directly. However, if you were not lucky enough to get a ticket, do not despair.
LAUNCH. MONTH. 😍
20 Drivers. 10 Teams. 1 Epic Show.

Formula 1 broadcasters worldwide have confirmed they will televise the event. It will also be streamed for free on F1’s social media channels, including YouTube. This means it will be accessible to anyone who wishes to watch the unprecedented event.
F1 teams start revealing their challengers for the 2025 season
Normally before the start of a season, all the teams show off their liveries separately. This new livery is normally bolted onto either a model or the previous season’s car. This is so teams can hide any innovations until pre-season testing and their ideas cannot be copied.
However, both McLaren and Williams have decided to reveal their cars before the F1 75 Live event. Reigning champions McLaren broke the cover first as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took the MCL39 for a spin around Silverstone. The following day, Carlos Sainz took his Williams around Silverstone.

McLaren were obliged to use a ‘geometric camo design’ so they could show off their new liveries at F1 75 Live. Williams‘ design was also different from the livery they will use during the season. Ferrari will be the next team to reveal their new car the day following the event on February 19th.
