F1 75 Live: Full details on Formula 1's 2025 reveal event at the O2
Everything you need to know about F1 75 Live at the O2, including ticket availability, how to watch, who will be there and what cars will be unveiled
The O2 will host a single launch event for all F1 teams in 2025
F1
There is now less than a week until F1 75 Live, where all ten F1 constructors — as well as their respective drivers and team principals — will launch their 2025 F1 challengers together at the O2 Arena in London. Held on February 18 at 8pm GMT, it will be the first event of its kind and is set to mark the start of the series’ 75th anniversary year in style.
Traditionally, each F1 constructor hosts its own pre-season launch before all ten then assemble for the first time during pre-season testing.
But in 2025, over 15,000 fans will be in attendance as each team, one-by-one, pulls the covers off their 2025 livery. In keeping with the historic theme of the evening, each constructor has been encouraged to “tell a story” with their reveals and showcase their individual identity.
There will also be a red carpet arrival for drivers and team principals, as well as world class entertainment and appearances from special guests throughout the evening.
Tickets for the show are currently sold out, but you can still watch all the action from the comfort of your own home, with the event expected to be covered live by Sky Sports F1 and live streamed on YouTube.

How to buy tickets for F1 75 Live: 2025 launch event
Tickets for F1 75 Live are now sold out and the event’s official ticket partner AXS has disabled online sales.
Although there are a limited number of resale tickets available on Viagogo, ranging from £239 to £1183, AXS has said that “tickets sold on unauthorised platforms will not be valid” so there is a risk that purchasers will be refused on the night. Viagogo do offer full refunds as part of their guarantee, which must be claimed within ten days after the event.
There’s no indication that similar launch events are planned for future seasons, but neither is the event described as a “one-off”. If it’s seen as a success, then F1 is likely to explore the possibility of repeating it — charging any prospective hosts a large fee. However, it may be difficult to persuade teams to relinquish control over their own launches for more than one year.
How to watch F1 75 Live: live stream details
The entire F1 75 Live event will be streamed for free across all of F1’s official social channels, including YouTube (linked below).

How long will the show be?
F1 75 Live is scheduled to start at 8pm GMT on Tuesday 18 February and will last for approximately two hours.
A full schedule is yet to be released, but each team won’t have long to reveal their 2025 livery — with quick-fire driver and team principal interviews also expected.

Will the new 2025 F1 cars be there?
Williams revealed its 2025 F1 car — the FW47 — at Silverstone in camo livery
Williams
It’s widely expected that most F1 teams will choose to just showcase their 2025 livery on old or show cars at F1 75 Live. Some will hold separate launch events or release images to showcase their new 2025 cars (Williams and McLaren already have), while others may wait until pre-season testing which runs from February 26-28 to reveal their real 2025 challenger.
With minute margins expected to separate the field, it’s hardly a surprise that teams want to keep their latest designs hidden from rivals. That said, some are seemingly more confident than others.
On Thursday February 14, McLaren became the first team to reveal its 2025 car, as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri shook down the MCL39 at Silverstone. The following day, Williams unveiled the FW47, which also had a stint on track at the same location.
Haas’s car is expected to break cover during a filming day at Silverstone on February 16, while Ferrari will reveal its SF-25 in Maranello on February 19 and Mercedes will launch its W16 on February 24.

What else is in the show?
The majority of the two-hour F1 75 Live show will focus primarily on each team’s livery reveal and driver line-ups.
Each has been given “creative licence” in a bid to make every launch unique, with help provided by BrianBurkeCreative — the world renowned team that were responsible for both the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
There is also expected to be entertainment, provided by special guests, but no official schedule has yet been released.
