Actually, we could say that the 2025 F1 season "starts" on Tuesday, but practically we will only see painted fake cars, accompanied by some kind of show. Not everyone was enthusiastic about Liberty's idea of a joint performance, Toto Wolff is trying to find positives in it...
We ourselves much preferred when the revelation made some sense, and subsequent testing, today it really just means PR protocol.
"I think it will feel like a race weekend. Everyone will be there, all the drivers and teams, and we will be presenting the new look of our cars with a lot of media attention. The legitimate F1 fans will be disappointed because these cars are not the cars, but we will see them for the first time at the tests. To me it feels a bit like preparing for the NFL draft, except that this event is not so decisive for our future. But it is clear that it is good and positive that we are promoting the arrival of the season and having a big celebration before we start racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has thought it out well, I wonder how it will work in practice." - mused Toto Wolff.
