Watch a free live stream right here from 8pm as Formula 1 prepares to launch a new season like never before from the iconic setting of The O2 in London.

In a two-hour event featuring all 20 drivers, 10 team principals – including Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari red for the first time at a public event – each team will also be revealing the liveries they will be racing in the new season.

And that’s not all.

The show also contains musical performers from Take That, Kane Brown and Machine Gun Kelly.

With Tuesday night’s special event kick-starting F1’s 75th anniversary year, organisers have hired creative companies to help the teams come up with “truly unique” livery unveils – so we will be expecting more than a sheet being pulled off a car!

When does the F1 season actually start?

Pre-season testing begins eight days after the launch, with the teams gathering in Bahrain for three successive days of track time from February 26-28, live on Sky Sports F1.

There is then a further two-week gap before the opening round of the 2025 season, which this year is the Australian Grand Prix.

Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit hosts the race from March 14-16, with a back-to-back to start the season, meaning the Chinese Grand Prix comes the following weekend.

The opener has switched from its usual location in Bahrain to Australia due to Ramadan taking place throughout March.
