The F1 75 team livery reveal as it happened at London’s O2 Arena

All 10 Formula 1 teams have unveiled their liveries at the championship’s 75th anniversary event in London’s O2 Arena, showcasing their new colours in front of fans live at the venue.

This was F1’s first collective launch event in history, with all teams in attendance to unveil the designs they will race with in 2025 – albeit on older machinery at the arena formerly known as the Millennium Dome – in London’s docklands area.

Teams revealed their new paintwork in 2024’s reverse championship order, starting with Sauber and concluding with the unveiling of McLaren’s new livery; the Woking team had previously shaken down its MCL39 at Silverstone in an orange-and-black camouflage scheme.

Sauber opted for a twist on the neon green and carbon grey livery used last season; in a similar layout to its Las Vegas scheme from 2024, it features a green nose with a fade into grey along the rear half of the car.

“I feel energised,” said Sauber boss Mattia Binotto. “I feel energised for the new season – I like it [the livery].

“So we are really looking forward to the next season and show how capable we are – 2025 we be an important season for us.”

Williams followed the Sauber presentation with its own 2025 livery in a not-dissimilar scheme to the test livery unveiled last week, featuring a dark-to-royal blue gradient livery from front to back – set off by white trim.

The popular Duracell battery intake remains in place, as the team has also added title sponsor Atlassian to its portfolio.

“This [F175] is fantastic,” said Williams team principal James Vowles. “Thanks to everyone here, it is an amazing event, for us racing is in our heart – it’s what we do – we’ll be in Bahrain in just a few days’ time with Australia less than a month away. We can’t wait – 2025 starts now.”

Racing Bulls – known as RB in 2024 – celebrated its revised new identity with a white scheme, accompanied by red and yellow Red Bull iconography on the nose and rollhoop, while the blue Red Bull brand imagery was at the back of the car.

Team boss Laurent Mekies said: “We have a mantra and it’s written all over our walls in our HQs in Faenza and Milton Keynes, it says that whatever we do, it has to follow three things.

“It needs to be performance obsessed, it needs to be no blame and it needs to be no nonsense and we are building the project altogether around this.”

Although the Haas livery had been leaked in various corners of the internet ahead of the event, the team effectively confirmed that it would run with the scheme that features more white versus its largely nude-carbon aesthetic used last year. This features a larger white portion on the nose, sidepods, and set off by black and red secondary hues in angular blocks.

“It’s been awesome to drive the car for the first time,” said new signing Esteban Ocon. “For you hardcore fans, you must have seen it [the new car] somewhere, but we’re happy to present it to you tonight. It’s a beautiful car.”

Alpine has switched to a renewed pink and blue livery for 2025, perhaps putting some in mind of Brabham’s BT60B from 1992.

The pink nose section contrasts with the return of a metallic blue chassis – with pink BWT imagery on the sidepods and new fuels partner Eni occupying plenty of space on the engine cover.

After opening with the bombast of a James Bond-themed presentation, Aston Martin showcased its AMR25 livery that retains similar British Racing Green tones to last season – albeit now with black sidepods bounded by fluorescent yellow.

“She looks pretty good, for sure,” said Lance Stroll, while his team-mate Fernando Alonso added “so much looking forward to this season, the car looks incredible – now we’ve seen the best looking car of the night, please enjoy the rest of the evening”.

Mercedes stuck to a largely similar version of its 2024 livery with its combination of silver, black, and Petronas teal – albeit with INEOS’ red flash on the roll hoop now removed for a smidgen of extra silver.

“Congrats to F1, this is a new milestone – such an amazing event,” said Mercedes boss Toto Wolff.

Red Bull has retained the same matte dark blue livery, with yellow nose and rollhoop brand imagery. This has been used by the team since 2016.

Ferrari was, predictably, enrobed in red – albeit with a much greater presence of white on the engine cover as a platform for its title sponsor HP. It retains the white front and rear wings, which it introduced in Miami last year when HP joined the Scuderia.

“Such a great night,” said seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who is set for his debut season with Ferrari.

“The word that I’m thinking of is invigorated because I feel so full of life, so much energy because everything is new and just focused on what’s up ahead. I’m so proud to be part of the team, something new and exciting.”

McLaren concluded the unveilings with the livery it will defend its title with, opting for effectively the same paint scheme used last season – retaining its papaya nose and flashes around the rear half of the car.

The night also included a series of musical performances by mgk (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly), who opened the show, American country singer Kane Brown, and pop legends Take That closing the night, while it was all hosted by actor and comedian Jack Whitehall. 

It preceded next week’s Bahrain pre-season test, in which all 10 car designs will take to the track for their first proper runs beyond the usual flurry of shakedown and promotional events.
