F1 75 Live: full details of 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 the live stream, plus the drivers, team principals and entertainment on stage
The 2025 Formula 1 season begins in earnest at 8pm this evening with F1 75 Live, where all ten constructors, along with the 20 drivers on grid — plus the team principals — will launch their new car liveries together at the O2 Arena in London. It will be the first event of its kind and is set to mark the start of the series’ 75th anniversary year in style.
In previous years, teams hosted their own pre-season launch event, but this year have agreed to co-ordinate their reveals, one after the other, in front of more than 15,000 fans in East London. 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.
The evening will be hosted by actor and comedian Jack Whitehall, and there will also be entertainment, from Take That, Kane Brown, mgk and Bryan Tyler’s Are We Dreaming
Ahead of the 8pm GMT start time, there will be a red carpet arrival for drivers and team principals. Tickets for the show are currently sold out, but you can still watch all the action on this page, with the event being live-streamed on YouTube, as well as broadcast on Sky Sports F1.

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.

Will the new 2025 F1 cars be there?
Williams revealed its 2025 F1 car — the FW47 — at Silverstone in camo livery

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 are holding separate launch events or release images to showcase their new 2025 cars, 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.
On February 16, Haas’s new car broke cover during a filming day at Silverstone, while Ferrari will reveal its SF-25 in Maranello on February 19 and Mercedes will launch its W16 on February 24.

What other entertainment 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.
Actor and comedian Jack Whitehall will be the show’s host, with further entertainment provided by musical guests Kane Brown, mgk, Brian Tyler and Take That.
