General presentation of the 2025 car colouring

      The idea of a common presentation of teams before the start of the season was discussed under Ecclestone in the framework of the association of teams FOTA, but then it was not possible to agree, including because of money and obligations to partners. Then the proposal was discussed under Liberty Media - and in the year of the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, it was partially realized in the form of a general presentation of the coloring of new cars. As the director of the show "F1 75 Live at The O2" was Brian Burke and his company Brian Burke Creative, which organized the opening ceremony of the Grand Prix of Las Vegas in 2023.

      Music was provided by composer and conductor Brian Tyler, who wrote the Formula 1 theme song, but guest stars including country singer Kane Brown, rock singer and rapper mgk, formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly, and Take That played a major role. Tickets for the 20,000-seat London O2 sold out in an hour. Prices started from 50 pounds, but ticket prices didn't matter, nor did the fact that the teams didn't bring real 2025 cars to London. They were either last year's cars in a new paint scheme or carbon fiber models - Sauber announced in advance that they would auction the model the next day. The event was hosted by British comedian and actor Jack Whitehall and F1 TV journalists Laura Winter, Lawrence Barretto and Ariana Bravo. Each team was given seven minutes of the show, and came out in reverse order of last season's Constructors' Cup position - Sauber opening the program, McLaren closing it. The show began with Machine Gun Kelly singing a medley of his songs. Local comedian Jack Whitehall took the stage and made the drivers and audience laugh. After a spectacular video of memorable moments from the history of Formula 1 - and the presentations began. Sauber The presentation of Sauber coloring was held under the show of a group of drummers on the stage, flooded with the branded for the sponsors of the team - the company Stake - acid green light. On the platform showed a model of the car in the colors of 2025. Team principal Mattia Binotto and both drivers took to the stage. Nico Hulkenberg: "I'm excited about the 2025 season and I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel next week and hitting the gas again!" Gabriel Bortoleto: "It's great to see so many spectators here today! I'm full of energy ahead of my debut season and I'm just really, really excited!"Mattia Binotto: "I'm full of energy, we're ready for the new season, it's going to be very important for our team. And I really like the look of our new car! In 2025 we will try to make improvements compared to last season. Williams The presentation of the Williams paint scheme began with Frank Williams' phrase "We are the drivers" against a backdrop of images of the team's historic victories. Team principal James Vowles took to the stage without the drivers, proclaimed "the beginning of a new era" and invited Carlos Sainz and Alex Elbon in white overalls. The new car features a distinctive blue scheme and is very recognizable. The official unveiling of the FW47 took place a few days before the unveiling of the paint scheme, when the team ran the new car at Silverstone. James Vowles, Team Principal: "Tonight was a very special night for Atlassian Williams Racing as we unveiled the FW47 paint scheme to the world at F1 75 Live.

      This car is the result of the dedication and hard work of everyone at our base, we have worked tirelessly to get the team back to the position it deserves and the incredible support from our fans here and around the world reminds us of why we are doing this - we are on this journey together. We have a lot of exciting things in store for us this season, we're looking forward to taking to the track and we want to make you proud of us." Carlos Sainz: "What an incredible night to present the paint job of our FW47 car to the fans at the O2 Arena for the F1 75 Live show! The energy, passion and support of the fans is at the heart of our sport.

      We know we have a long road ahead of us, but every day we are taking steps to help Williams get back to where it needs to be and we can't do it without you. I can't wait for the car to hit the track in Bahrain and we will do everything we can to have a great season together!" Alex Elbon: "Today's presentation was a success! We presented our new car at the F1 75 Live show and it was a very special moment. The FW47 looks incredibly good and I can't wait to get back behind the wheel at the Bahrain test. Today we were energized by the fans and it's great, we appreciate your support. Let's strive for success together!" RB In Racing Bulls did traditionally - the racers pulled the coating from the car, made in an unusual white and blue color scheme with a bright spot of the Red Bull logo. Isaac Hajar: "I have been striving all my life to become a Formula 1 racer, so I can not even believe that my dream is coming true. I don't think it will be easy for me, but I'm happy to be able to learn from a professional like Yuki Tsunoda. I will try to learn from him everything that a beginner needs to know!" Yuki Tsunoda: "I hope that my fifth season in Formula 1 will be a continuation of the previous years, during which I constantly progressed. I plan to achieve new successes and improve the level of professional training. By the end of last year I already had a more confident mental attitude, and I already better controlled my emotions than at the beginning of the season. But now I want to be even more focused and work on all sorts of nuances, which will allow me to improve and continue to fight for places in the top ten, although I expect the level of competition this year to be higher than ever. I will move forward gradually, but I do not take confidence. Haas In Haas in Haas F1 completely changed the composition. Together with the head of the team Ayo Komatsu machine represented Esteban Okon and Oliver Berman - the Frenchman and the Briton will this year act for the American team. The new VF-25 has already rolled out within the framework of the shooting day, but the autodrome was closed to outsiders, so that the photos before the presentation did not leak to the network.

      The team had something to surprise them - they inverted last year's paint scheme, so black became white and white became black. Ayo Komatsu, Head of Haas F1: "Our motivation has never been so high before the start of the season. Until the last round of the 2024 championship, we were fighting for sixth place in the Constructors' Cup, and that was great. The pace of modernization last season was unprecedented in the history of our team. We start our tenth season in Formula 1 with the belief that we can compete with everyone. The team has become really cohesive, and I'm also very excited to see what results we can achieve with the VF-25 car. All our divisions in Kannapolis, Banbury and Maranello are working hard to get the tests in Bahrain right. Our engineering department, led by Andrea De Zordo, is working tirelessly to build on the successful concept of last year's VF-24 and bring all its strengths to the VF-25. Together with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Berman, we are ready to hit the track and get some kilometers on the track before the Australian Grand Prix, which starts the season next month.

      Alpine The Alpine presentation was preceded by a blue-blue light-filled performance by DJ Brian Tylor and the new car is painted in the distinctive bright pink colors of team sponsor BWT. The same color dominates the overalls of the drivers. The presentation was very short - the drivers spent on stage less than everyone else - just a couple of minutes. Oliver Oakes, Team Principal: "This is an important day in the Formula 1 season. Firstly, we have been working hard at the bases at Enstone and Vieri to prepare for the upcoming season. We want to run the season at a competitive level. It is important to continue to go forward and improve the car, but also pay close attention to the development of the car for 2026, taking into account the new regulations. Aston Martin At the beginning of the presentation showed a boat chase on the Thames from the series about Agent 007 - cars Aston Martin appeared in it back in 1964. In the prepared by the team video racers descended on the roof of the O2 from a helicopter and went on stage to the overture of John Barry from "Bondiana", showing the car in the characteristic coloring of British Racing Green.

      The Tems singer appeared on stage, and at the end of the song Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll came out with new team principal Andy Cowell. Andy Cowell: "We are delighted to unveil the AMR25 paint scheme, our new car, at F1 75 Live, which is a unique opportunity to engage the fans, our partners and all our colleagues, made even more special by the fact that this is my first time as team principal. The car looks great in the 2025 paint scheme and it's a continuation of the team's tradition. I want to soon see how our racers in a few days for the first time will bring AMR25 on the track. Mercedes For the first time in recent history, the team presented a new car without Lewis Hamilton - partner George Russell became a promising and still shy Kimi Antonelli - together with the head of the team Toto Wolff they presented to the public the new W16 - its presentation in the team will be held on February 24 - before the winter tests.

      The paint scheme was recognizable - black with Petronas logos on a green background and a silver nose fairing. Toto Wolff: "What an incredible evening and show put on by Formula 1! The sport continues to set the bar ever higher and I hope the thousands of spectators in the stands and everyone watching at home enjoyed themselves.

I have worked hard over the winter, well prepared and looking forward to the tests in Bahrain". Red Bull The presentation of the new Red Bull car began to the music of the Rolling Stones, turned to the whistling of the audience to Christian Horner - because of last year's stories and remarks to the British, and was replaced by a small detective movie about the delivery of the RB 21 to the ceremony. It ended with a large crowd behind Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson, with the car finished in traditional colors. The team emphasized that this year there will be no other presentation - only London, next time the team will show the RB 21 on tests. Christian Horner: "The team worked hard over the winter to correct some of the shortcomings of the last RB20. We have had a productive time and we will soon find out if we have managed to solve some of the problems. The team was able to add to the last third of last year. Let's see if we can take another step forward in the first races of the new season." Ferrari The Ferrari presentation began with a short video in memory of Enzo Ferrari, whose birthday is today. The new SF25 is in traditional red colors with a large white stripe under the HP logo on the engine air intake.

Frederic Vasseur: "The presentation of the new car is a very exciting moment and our whole team is very proud. With months of hard work on the SF-25 behind us, we're delighted to see the fruits of our efforts in this car, which is now ready to take to the track. Last season we fought for the Constructors' Cup until the last corner and now we're determined to do better - our goal is to win the championship in both events. We have a new team, with Lewis Hamilton joining Charles Leclair, and we are ready to take the next step. We understand the challenges ahead, but we are ready to give it our all to perform at the highest level, knowing that we can always count on the support and enthusiasm of our fans, who always inspire us. Now it's time for us to focus fully on what we are doing, and let the results on the track speak for themselves. Personally, I can't wait for the season to start!" Charles Leclair: "The presentation of the SF-25 really inspired me. Every year we work hard to make improvements and the whole team has been working hard for many months. Last year we saw how fierce the competition was and we were close to winning the Constructors' Cup. This year the objective is clear: we want to win the team title and my personal goal is to become world champion. Lewis has joined our team and we are already working together - I hope his experience and approach to business will be a source of inspiration for me. Physically and psychologically I am more than ready for the new season, and I want to start working on the track as soon as possible. I want to do everything I can to get Ferrari back to the top. Lewis Hamilton: "My first few weeks have been absolutely fantastic and above all I've seen the passion and dedication of the whole team. It's been incredible to be involved in my first Ferrari car presentation. A lot of effort has gone into the preparations for the upcoming season and we are determined to succeed. I'm starting the year with high expectations, and I'm even more energized by the confidence of everyone I've met this month. I'm also on this journey with the team, and I want to get to work on the track as soon as possible so that Charles and I can push each other and do everything we can to make sure the team wins.
