Fans can expect appearances from all 20 drivers and the 10 team principals, along with interviews with key figures from the sport. The night will also feature special guest presenters and top-notch entertainment, making it a must-watch spectacle.

Event details

F1 75 Live is scheduled to take place on February 18 at 2000 GMT at The O2 in London. With tickets selling out rapidly due to high demand, fans not lucky enough to secure a seat can still be part of the action, as the event will be broadcast live. Details on how to watch the broadcast will be revealed soon.

What to expect at F1 75 live

Throughout the evening, each team will have their moment in the spotlight to reveal their 2025 liveries and confirm their driver line-ups. The event is set to be an entertainment extravaganza, produced by BrianBurkeCreative, the team behind the Las Vegas Grand Prix ceremonies in 2023.

Car reveals and pre-season testing

While the full cars will not be unveiled at F1 75 Live, fans will get their first glimpse of the 2025 season liveries. Final car preparations are being completed before pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 26-28. Some teams, like Williams and Haas, have chosen to reveal their cars separately ahead of the live event. Ferrari will showcase their car at Fiorano on February 19, with Mercedes following on February 24.

The road ahead

Following pre-season testing, all eyes will shift to the Australian Grand Prix, which will take place from March 14-16, officially kicking off the 2025 race calendar.
