As the winter break comes closer to an end, the drivers are returning to their team's home base, teams are announcing their car reveals, and partnerships are being announced. The season will be starting soon, but the teams have been working hard behind the scenes.
Mercedes announces car launch
Today, the Mercedes AMG F1 team announced when they would show off their 2025 season F1 car for the first time. While the team will be at the F1 75 event with the other nine Formula 1 teams, they will only reveal the livery. Sharing via their social media platforms, the team will give their first look at the W16. This will happen on Monday, February 24, only one day before they take to the circuit to complete a filming day. After that, they will go straight into the pre-season testing.
Ferrari suits up
Ferrari has officially released their first photos of their 2025 duo '1644'. They shared photos and videos of the teammates in their new F1 red Ferrari suits. After waiting over a year for Lewis Hamilton to join Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, fans finally got a glimpse of the two together.
