The Race F1 Podcast

Previewing F1's 2025 launch season


Listen Later

We look ahead to Formula 1’s imminent launch season in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to explain how the time between now and the first day of testing in Bahrain on February 26 will play out. 

The centrepiece of launch season is the F1 75 event at London’s O2 Arena on February 18, where all 10 teams will have a slot on stage to reveal their livery. We explain what to expect from that, and debate whether it will live up to fan expectations. 

We also explain what cars we might see appearing before them, and the restrictions that mean it’s difficult to launch a genuine 2025 car before the big event in London. 

And with just a small window between F1 75 and freight leaving for Bahrain, we run through the teams that will be revealing the cars in the days before testing starts. 

Finally, we each pick out which car - or cars - we’re most looking forward to seeing break cover.
