F1 2025 - Watchalong Thread

[Brazilianadventure]

Happy New Year.

We start with the first all teams season launch on 18 February. Ferrari reveal their 2025 car the day after.

Pre season testing will take place on 26 to 28 February in Bahrain. Australia will host the opening race on Sunday March 16th.

That's what I'd do with a EuroMillions win - plus spend a few days either side in the more interesting places.

I can dream....

Me too but I'd make sure I had Paddock Club access to all of the races. I couldn't be dealing with whatever the weather had to throw at me. I like a little bit of luxury so I do and if I won the Euromillions, I could afford that little bit of luxury!

Following the TikTok person now so excited to see how he gets on!

I wouldn't describe myself love to go to an f1 race with all the bells and whistles - my MIL went to silverstone in 2015 and was in the Paddock Club and she said it was amazing! She was staying in the hotel that all the drivers were in, which also sounded absolutely amazing - she even met Niki Lauda!

Wahhhh!!!! Just bought our front row tickets on the North Grandstand for Abu Dhabi!!! DD(14) is over the moon and already designing her banner 🤩🤩🤩

Anyone watching the launch show on Sky F1?

I have no idea who the band are

Editing to add - it must have been Machine Gun Kelly...

Bring on Jack Whitehall....

Yikes - not sure if those jokes are landing the way Jack is intending but they are funny (to me)

He's very funny!

First up is Stake Kick Sauber
Bortoleto & Hulkenberg

Love this!

I'll say this - they didn't scrimp on the production values for this evening's event.

Cringing a bit at the drivers just awkwardly wandering down the catwalk then standing to their back with the crowd waiting for the car to stop.

Might be a bit of a long night doing this for every team. But can't wait to see the reaction for Lewis in red!

Next up it's Williams!!

Sainz & Albon

Carbonara!!

Forgot to tune in. Loved the drumming - it’s going to take a while to get through all 10 teams.

This must be daunting for the rookies. Weird to see Mattia Binotto in green.

😂 Charles Le Clerc desperately trying to get out of shot.

That was clever - they put up a Sauber on the hoist and down it came as a Williams! What a clever trick!!!

It's the STIG all over again...I'm really loving this 😂

Jack is painful to watch

What does the Williams turn into???

Lando's wearing Lewis's outfit!

Really enjoying the launch show so far. Looking forward to the new season!

I think it’s in reverse championship order so next is
VisaCashApp
Hass
Alpine
Aston Martin
Merc
RB
Ferrari
McLaren.

It's too big for him 😆

Not sure I like this livery - it's very white...and yellow....

I wonder if each team gets to pick their entrance music

This must be the tallest team on the grid - Ocon and Bearman for Haas

I really like this livery - the white goes with the black and red.
