Do you agree with the F1 2025 car launch event?

It promises to be quite spectacular but is it really what you want for your F1 team?

F1 season launch event 18 February 2025

For the first time in Formula 1 history, all 10 teams and 20 drivers will be on hand for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind launch event. But is it what you want to see?

Launch days are a special part of the pre-season build-up, a sense of anticipation and excitement for the new campaign to come, and for each team, they get their moment in the spotlight.

Teams choose to launch their new machinery differently, and a lot will depend on just how much they also want to be revealed prior to the car hitting the track in anger in testing.

What is certain is that gone are the days of the spectacular team launches. Click here for a few examples.

They are a little more understated, some would say underwhelming these days, particularly if a team is only taking the wraps off a livery, for argument's sake.

Some teams, like Ferrari in 2023, made launch day a special event to celebrate with the fans. Some teams don't bother until rolling the car out of the garage on the first morning of pre-season testing.

For next year, however, there will be something very, very different, with all 10 teams under one roof as part of an entertainment package at The O2 that will include live acts.

It is part of F1 ramping up the show and bringing the sport to the people. Is it for you though?
