Formula 1 is set to make history with a groundbreaking 2025 F1 season launch event scheduled to take place at London’s iconic O2 Arena on February.
The landmark event will see all ten teams and their twenty drivers come together for a spectacular evening that marks not only the beginning of the new season but also the celebration of Formula 1’s 75th anniversary.
The 2025 F1 season launch event promises to be a unique blend of motorsport and entertainment, breaking away from the traditional format where teams unveil their cars individually. This innovative approach aims to boost fan engagement and create a festive atmosphere around the sport.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali expressed enthusiasm about this new format, highlighting it as a fantastic opportunity for fans to witness the excitement of Formula 1 up close.
“For the first time we will bring together our fans, all 20 superstars of our sport and some very special guests to officially kick off our new season and mark Formula 1’s 75th anniversary,” said Domenicali.
“With 2025 set to be a classic season following all the drama so far in 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up-close the incredible entertainment spectacle that is Formula 1.”
The 2025 F1 season launch event which will be held on February 18, 2025, will run from 8 PM to 10 PM GMT and will feature not only the unveiling of each team’s new liveries but also live performances and interviews with key figures from the sport.
Creative company BrianBurkeCreative, which has previously worked on major events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to oversee the production of this launch. The company includes Stufish Entertainment Architects and DX7 Design renowned for creating visually stunning experiences that captivate audiences.
Tickets for the 2025 F1 season launch event will be available for purchase starting November 15, with prices ranging from £58 to £113 depending on seating location within The O2 Arena. For those unable to attend in person, the event will also be streamed live globally, ensuring that fans around the world can partake in this monumental occasion.

This collaborative launch event comes at a time when Formula 1 is experiencing significant changes within its driver lineup. With nine race seats changing hands ahead of the new season, including high-profile moves such as Lewis Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, anticipation is building among fans regarding how these changes will impact team dynamics and competition in 2025.
The decision to hold a unified launch event reflects F1’s ongoing efforts to modernize its approach and enhance its appeal to a broader audience. By bringing together all teams in one location, the sport aims to create an electrifying atmosphere that showcases its rich heritage while looking forward to its future.
This initiative aligns with F1’s strategy under Liberty Media’s ownership to make the sport more accessible and engaging for fans.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem also expressed support for this initiative, stating that it serves as a fitting prelude to what promises to be an exciting season filled with celebrations of Formula 1’s storied history.
“The FIA is delighted to join our colleagues at FOM and all the teams in the staging of the inaugural 2025 F1 season launch event,” said Ben Sulayem. “The occasion will also serve as a fitting prelude to a celebration of Formula 1’s 75th anniversary throughout the 2025 season.”
The collaborative effort between FOM (Formula One Management) and all ten teams demonstrates a unified commitment to elevating the fan experience and celebrating the sport’s legacy.
As fans gear up for the 2025 F1 season launch event, they can expect an evening filled with excitement as they witness their favorite teams unveil their new cars alongside their star drivers.
The interactive nature of the evening will allow fans to engage directly with team principals and drivers through interviews and Q&A sessions, providing insights into their preparations for the upcoming season.
