More than half the grid has revealed details of their 2025 F1 car launches that come in addition to the official launch event in London on February 18.
That includes Aston Martin which has confirmed a February 23 release date for its new car, set to be piloted by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
Racing Bulls too has locked in its plans though a host have thus far made no announcements beyond the F1-75 event.
That includes McLaren, Red Bull, Alpine, and Sauber, though the latter is set to auction its launch car as revealed at the O2.
The F1-75 launch event is the first time the F1 field has combined forces to kick-start the season in a production that will offer fans a glimpse at the livery that will adorn each car in 2025.
Previously, each team has looked after itself, and with good reason.
With a growing F1 appetite from hungry fans heading into the new season, teams have traditionally been able to capture the market with a well-timed launch.
Presentation of the car itself was complemented with interviews from drivers and key personnel allowing an individual team, no matter how big or small, to dominate the news cycle for a day.
The F1 launch event, dubbed F1-75, does not offer that same marketing value to the individual operation with the top teams expected to dominate the day’s coverage.
As such, many have opted to carry on with their own launch events, where they’ll showcase a version of the 2025 car.
Ferrari, Mercedes, Haas, and Williams have already announced plans separate to the F1 75 event, with more expected to follow before pre-season testing.
The first real on-track action of 2025 (excluding ‘filming days’) commences with pre-season testing in Bahrain on February 26-28.
Who will launch its F1 car first in 2025?
Williams is scheduled to reveal its FW47 on February 14 at Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix. The car will not be revealed in its 2025 livery. Instead, the car will be dressed in a one-off camo livery.
