The big flashy all ten teams livery reveal and the launch of the F1 75th anniversary celebrations live from the O2 Arena tonight starting at 22:00. Full, free livestream on YouTube. The 2-hour event will also be broadcast on DSTv SuperSport 215. Weirdly, it doesn’t look like the same is true for F1TV - can’t find any mention of the show being broadcast on there at all?


The show will be hosted by comedian and actor Jack Whitehall, and will feature US country sensation Kane Brown, award-winning multi-platinum recording artist mgk, composer Brian Tyler’s Are We Dreaming, and the iconic British band Take That. Jack Whitehall will also be joined throughout the night by familiar faces from F1 TV Laura Winter, Ariana Bravo and Lawrence Barretto.

Livery winners for me are the VCARB and the Williams. Love the fade on the Sauber and the darker shade of red on the Ferrari. Still not a huge fan of the HP logo, but putting it into the white stripe and white wing makes it a little more palatable.

Red Bull going with huge variety again this year. /s

And loser has to be Aston - so much hype in that 007 animation intro and they roll out that boring sameness? So weird. All they had to do was knock on the door of the THOR WEC 007 team and take inspiration from thier livery for this year…
