For the first time ever, in celebration of its 75th anniversary, Formula 1 will host a season launch event at London’s O2 Arena to officially kickstart the 2025 season.

Tickets for the event go on sale on Friday 15th November at 10:00 GMT, and will cost from £58-£113. The show will also be streamed live, details on where you can watch will be revealed at a later date.
On this announcement, F1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali, 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 for 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up-close the incredible entertainment spectacle that is Formula 1.”
