On top of this, the season marks the 75th anniversary of the sport, and the championship battle looks wide open in both the drivers' and constructors' championships.

To mark this special occasion, F1 have penned in an unprecedented season-opening event at the O2 Arena in London, but when is the pre-season extravaganza and how can you watch it?

You can now find the 2025 liveries for all 10 F1 teams here!

What is the F1 live event?

On February 18, all 10 teams will present their 2025 challengers to a live audience at the O2 Arena in London, in a first of its kind event that will provide a central location to see the official liveries of all the teams. Lewis Hamilton and his Ferrari team had an absence confirmed earlier on the day in he press conference but are still booked to appear in London.

However, teams are still opting to do individual car launches themselves too, with McLaren and Williams already dropping their 2025 cars, and Ferrari set to unveil their full car design the day after the live event.

In these cases, teams dropping their official car before the event were advised not to showcase the livery they will be using in 2025, instead presenting their cars with special one-off liveries, and teams unveiling their cars after the event will still be showcasing their official liveries at the event, but not the full chassis.

Yes, it's all a little confusing, but all teams, team principals and drivers will be present in London for the glamorous event, with comedian Jack Whitehall having been announced as the host for the show alongside an array of musical acts.
