Marking a historic first for Formula 1, all 10 teams (Alpine, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Haas, Kick Sauber, McLaren, Mercedes, Racing Bulls, Red Bull, and Williams), their drivers, and Team Principals will convene with fans for an unprecedented world premiere event in London to kick off the new season and celebrate the beginning of the high-octane sport’s 75th anniversary year. The event will take place on 18 February 2025 between 8pm and 10pm at London’s The O2.
Formula 1’s first official season launch event will be brought to life by creative visionary Brian Burke of BrianBurkeCreative, Stufish Entertainment Architects, DX7 Design, and production company 1826. BrianBurkeCreative and this world-renowned team were the brains behind the groundbreaking opening and closing ceremonies for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, and Burke himself is a global Emmy nominated creative producer who has over 20 years of expertise redefining live entertainment across genres, comprising “Best of Las Vegas” spectacles, global music tours, and record-breaking worldwide live television series and events.

Visitors can also expect interviews with key Formula 1 figures, including drivers and Team Principals, as well as top entertainment and special guest presenters. Those who cannot attend in person will still be able to watch the event live, with broadcast details and further event information to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said, “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. With 2025 set to be a classic season following all the drama so far in 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up-close the incredible entertainment spectacle that is Formula 1.”
