In reality, we could say that the 2025 F1 season "kicks off" on Tuesday, but in reality, we'll only see the livery of the show cars, accompanied by a bit of spectacle. Not everyone was impressed with the idea of a joint Liberty unveiling, but Toto Wolff tries to find the positives in it...
We ourselves much preferred when there was something at stake in every revelation, and then in the subsequent testing, now this really just means PR protocol.
"I think it will feel like a race weekend. Everyone will be there, all the drivers and teams, and amidst a lot of media attention, we will present the new look of our cars. True F1 fans will be disappointed, as these cars aren't F1 cars, but we'll see them first in testing. It feels a bit like we're preparing for the NFL draft, only this event isn't as decisive for our future. But it's clearly good and positive that we're promoting the arrival of the season and throwing a big party before we start racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has planned it well; I'm curious to see how it turns out in practice," reflected Toto Wolff.
