F1 to kick off 75th anniversary season in 2025 with launch event featuring all 10 teams

The 2025 Formula 1 season will mark a milestone in the sport’s history, as it will be the 75th anniversary campaign.

To mark the occasion, the sport is having the first-ever season launch event, at London’s The O2. According to a press release, all ten teams — along with their drivers, Team Principals, and “top entertainment” — will be in attendance to kick off the sport’s 75th anniversary season.

The press release promises an immersive experience for F1 fans.

“The incredible evening will see fans immersed in the drama and spectacle that is Formula 1, as they join the teams to unveil their 2025 liveries and the upcoming season’s driver line-ups. During the interactive event guests can also expect interviews with the key figures from the sport, including drivers and Team Principals, as well as top entertainment and special guest presenters.”

“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 our 75th year of racing,” said F1 President and CEO Stefano 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 FIA is delighted to join our colleagues at FOM and all the teams in the staging of the inaugural Formula 1 season launch event,” said FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. “The occasion will also serve as a fitting prelude to a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the sport throughout the 2025 season.”
