In reality, we could say that the 2025 F1 season will "start" on Tuesday, but in practice we will only see the painting of fictional cars, accompanied by a bit of a show. Not everyone was enthusiastic about the idea of a joint presentation of Liberty, Toto Wolff tries to find the positive aspects…
We ourselves much preferred it when there was a stake in every disclosure, followed by the subsequent testing phase, now this really just means a PR protocol.
"I think it will feel like a race weekend. Everyone will be there, all the drivers and teams, and while there will be a lot of media attention, we will present the new look of our cars. Real F1 fans will be disappointed, as these cars are not the real ones, but we will only see them for the first time in testing. To me it feels a bit like we are preparing for the NFL draft, only this event is not so decisive for our future. But it is clearly good and positive that we are promoting the arrival of the season and are organising a big party before we start competing. I think Stefano Domenicali thought it through well, I am curious to see how it will go in practice," Toto Wolff reflected.
