The Innovation
For the first time, F1 has organized an event where all 10 liveries for the 2025 season will be unveiled together. This major event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 18, at the O2 Arena in London during prime time. This initiative will not replace the traditional car launches. Technically, no major revolutions are expected, as 2025 marks the final year of the technical cycle introduced in 2022 with the return of ground effect. Teams are already focused on their 2026 projects, which will feature significant visible innovations, so no major surprises are anticipated regarding the cars’ designs.
When Will Ferrari Be Unveiled?
Ferrari will present its 2025 car—the first Ferrari for Lewis Hamilton—on Wednesday, February 19, in Maranello. The traditional shakedown at the Fiorano circuit is also expected. So far, Ferrari and Williams are the only teams to have announced their launch dates. Williams will unveil the FW47 on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14, ahead of the London event. Below is the complete, updated calendar of F1 car launches expected for the 2025 season.
