What to expect from Each of the teams
- Haas: The American team is known for not making any type of event for their car launch. They will most likely just post pictures on their social media accounts.
- Williams: Having the social media star Alex Albon as their driver will most likely make them plan a big launch event. James Vowles commands a growing project and there are rumours of a a potential new logo and livery concept.
- Stake: The future Audi team will have a new name and new sponsors so a big event, probably on their sponsor’s streaming site, KICK should be something to look forward to.
- Alpine: The french brand is known for big and loud events and they are probably repeating their formula this year. F2 drivers Jack Doohan and Victor Martins may be present, as they could enroll to be test and reserve drivers for the french squad.
- VISA Cash App RB: The event will take part in Las Vegas and will reveal a new name for the team, if Daniel Ricciardo is there a good show is guaranteed.
- Aston Martin: Team stars Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso will show the second car designed by ex-RedBull engineer Dan Fallows.
- Ferrari: The Maranello-based squad will do an event in the same fashion they are used to since the begining of times for the longest running F1 team in history.
- Mercedes: The silver arrows team will answer another time for the fan’s big question “silver or black livery?”. The real question however is if they could deliver Lewis Hamilton his record-breaking 8th World Title.
- Mclaren: The team posted on social media the pictures of their future livery. The presentation will probably have a more technical approach. Fans expect Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Team Principal Andrea Stella to appear. Maybe we could see academy drivers such as Gabriel Bortoleto or Bianca Bustamante making an appearance.
- RedBull: Last year’s presentation featured a car so similar to the previous one that most fans thought it was the same, turned out it was not. The Milton-Keynes organization is likely to keep improving its already dominant car concept without many changes.
