In fact, one could say that the 2025 F1 season "starts" on Tuesday, but in reality, we'll only see cars painted in a fictional style, accompanied by a bit of spectacle. Not everyone was impressed by Liberty's joint presentation idea, but Toto Wolff tries to find some positive aspects...
We, on the other hand, enjoyed it much more when every revelation had a stake, followed by a running-in phase; these days, that really means nothing more than a simple public relations protocol.
"I think it will be 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. Real F1 fans will be disappointed, because these cars are not the ones we will see, but we will only see them at practice anyway. To me, it looks a bit like preparation for the NFL draft, except that this event is not as decisive for our future. But it is clearly good and positive that we are promoting the arrival of the season and organizing a big party before starting racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has thought this through well, I am curious to see how it will go in practice," reflected Toto Wolff.
