When is the F175 live event?

The event at the O2 Arena kicks off at 8pm GMT on Tuesday February 18, and is available to watch on Sky Sports F1, or for free via F1's official YouTube channel.

Another team that will be present, desperate to get 2025 underway following a dismal 2024, will be Aston Martin, with their two drivers Lance Stroll and veteran Fernando Alonso.

The team failed to score a single podium finish in 2024, but harbour ambitions of becoming a world championship-challenging outfit in the near future, and will have the services of F1 design legend Adrian Newey from March.

F1's off-season has seen Aston Martin being linked with a swoop for Verstappen in a stunning transfer rumour, although the team firmly deny having any interest in acquiring the Dutchman's services.

Their 2025 car will be unveiled later on Tuesday at the F175 event and, in preparation, the team have taken over a tube station in the capital city.

North Greenwich station features a heavy Aston Martin presence, with train wraps featuring the two drivers' faces, posters and a unique paint job hitting the tube station, much to fans' delight.
