In fact, we could say that the 2025 F1 season will “start” on Tuesday, but practically we will only see the painting of camouflage cars, accompanied by some show. Not everyone fell for the idea of a joint presentation of Liberty, Toto Wolff is trying to find the positives in it…
We ourselves liked it much better when there was still a stake in each revelation and then the subsequent running-in, now it really just means PR protocol.
"I think it will look like a race weekend. Everyone will be there, all the drivers and teams, and we will be presenting the new look of our cars in the midst of a lot of media attention. The really serious F1 fans will be disappointed, because these cars are not the cars, but we will only see them at the tests anyway. To me it looks a bit like we are preparing for the NFL draft, except that this event is not so decisive for our future fate. But it is definitely good and positive to advertise the approaching season and throw a big party before we start racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has thought of this well, I wonder if it will work in practice." - mused Toto Wolff.
