Red Bull Racing is set to showcase its newest Formula 1 car at London’s iconic O2 Arena, marking a bold departure from traditional team launches.
The RB21 will make its first public appearance on February 18, 2025, as part of a special Formula 1 event that’s bringing the excitement of F1 directly to fans.
Three-time world champion Max Verstappen will be there alongside his new teammate Liam Lawson to pull the covers off their 2025 challenger.
Verstappen’s been dropping hints about wanting to shake things up with the car’s look. “I’d love to see us go back to that shiny finish we used to have,” he said after the Abu Dhabi race. The team’s been using matte blue paint for years now, but there’s a catch – a shinier finish would add extra weight to the car.
The London reveal is just the start of F1’s launch season. Ferrari’s jumping in the day after, on February 19, with their own unveiling.
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton won’t waste any time getting behind the wheel. They’ll be the first to test Ferrari’s new machine at the team’s private Fiorano track.
Red Bull hasn’t said whether they’ll do another launch event on their own – something they’ve done in past years at their Milton Keynes headquarters.
It’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated F1 car launches in recent memory, especially with Red Bull coming off their most dominant season yet.
