Formula 1 greeted the 24-race 2025 season with a special event at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday night.
All 20 drivers were in attendance as the 10 teams unveiled their liveries for the new season at F1 75 Live — conceived to mark the sport’s 75th anniversary.
Each team was given a seven-minute slot to unveil their designs. Sauber kicked things off with a high-energy performance including neon drumsticks, Aston Martin brought class with a James Bond theme and vocals from Tems, while defending champions McLaren completed the unveilings with a parade of its iconic cars.
MGK opened the night, which was hosted by British comedian Jack Whitehall, and Take That wrapped up proceedings after almost two hours.
Attention has now switched to the remaining car launches, with Ferrari officially unveiling the SF-25 at Maranello today. The sole three-day preseason test takes place in Bahrain (February 26-28), before the first grand prix in Australia on March 16.
