In fact, we could say that Tuesday "starts" the 2025 F1 season, but basically we will see nothing but paint on fake cars, accompanied by a bit of show. Not everyone was impressed with the idea of a joint presentation of Liberty, Toto Wolff tries to find the positive aspects in this...
We ourselves much preferred when every disclosure had a stake, and then a follow-up test, currently this really just means a PR protocol.
"I think it will look like a race weekend. It will be everyone, all the drivers and teams, and in the middle of a lot of media attention we will present the new look of our cars. Real F1 fans will be disappointed because these cars are not the same cars, but we will see them in testing first anyway. To me, it looks a bit like we are preparing for the NFL draft, except that this event is not so defining for our future fate. But it is clear that it is good and positive to promote the approach of the season and have a big party before we start racing. I think Stefano Domenicali has thought this through well, I am curious how it will work in practice." - mused Toto Wolff.
