Max Verstappen doesn't seem to be a big fan of the F1 event next February.
Indeed, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, all the liveries will be presented together on the same stage, on February 18. This presentation of the 10 single-seaters will be made in the presence of the 20 drivers entered in 2025. This event promises to be quite spectacular, and marks a first in the history of our sport.
If this show is enough to make fans salivate, there is one who would have done well without such a ceremony. Max Verstappen, Red Bull driver and probable 2024 World Champion, would not be against missing this event.
Last night, during a live stream with his teammates from Team Redline (Sim Racing team), the Batavian had fun in any case:
“What is F1 75? What are you talking about?”, he asked. “I don't watch F1… I hope I'll be sick that week.”

For his part, Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1, declared: “For the first time, we will bring together our fans, the 20 superstars of our sport and some very special guests to officially kick off our new season and mark our 75th year of racing.”
“2025 is shaping up to be a remarkable season, after all the twists and turns of 2024. It’s a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up close the incredible spectacle that is Formula 1. ”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem added: “The FIA is delighted to join its FOM colleagues and all teams in organizing the inaugural Formula 1 season launch event. This event will also serve as a prelude to the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Formula 1 throughout the 2025 season.”
