In a historic first for Formula 1, all 10 teams – drivers, team principals, and their 2025 liveries – will converge under one roof for a spectacular collective season launch event at London’s The O2 next February.

This unprecedented event, set for February 18, 2025, will kick off F1’s 75th anniversary and will bring fans closer to the heart of the action than ever before.

With a full production led by Brian Burke of BrianBurkeCreative – renowned for his work last year on the Las Vegas Grand Prix ceremonies – the launch event will feature live entertainment and interactive interviews with top F1 personalities.

Formula 1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali spoke to the significance of the sport’s 2025 world premiere.

“For the first time we will bring together our fans, all 20 superstars of our sport and some very special guests to officially kick off our new season and mark our 75th year of racing,” said the Italian.

“With 2025 set to be a classic season following all the drama so far for 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up-close the incredible entertainment spectacle that is Formula 1.”

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
