This year, the F1 launch season will look a little different.
Rather than each team holding an individual event, all 20 drivers from the new-launch grid will join for a huge celebration where the car liveries will be unveiled, and there will be interviews with the racers – including Lewis Hamilton, who will be giving his first media appearance since switching to Ferrari from Mercedes.
Alongside all this will be some huge musical performances from Kane Brown, mgk, Brian Tyler and Take That, with 15,000 eager fans cheering along in London’s iconic O2 arena. The format change is due to it being the 75th anniversary year of Formula 1.
If you haven’t managed to bag a ticket for the event in the UK capital, then don’t worry. F1 75 will be available to watch at home. Here are all the details you need to know.
