In fact, we could say that the 2025 F1 season will "start" on Tuesday, but practically we will only see the painting of fake cars, with a small show to go with it. Not everyone was enthusiastic about Liberty's idea of a joint performance, Toto Wolff is trying to find the positive side...
We would much rather have had the disclosure and subsequent testing have some meaning, 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 with a lot of media attention we will present the new looks of our cars. The real F1 fans will be disappointed because these cars are not the real ones, 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 definitely good and positive that we are promoting the upcoming season and having a big party before we start racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has thought it out well, I am curious to see how it will work in practice." - Toto Wolff mused.
