Attendance at Formula 1’s glitzy season launch was mandatory for the teams, with time being limited to just seven minutes per outfit. The presentations varied in enthusiasm, with Mercedes receiving mixed reviews for their by-the-numbers ‘sizzle reel’ and lackluster performance. Despite efforts by George Russell to inject some humor, the overall vibe was one of disinterest and fatigue. On the other hand, Alpine’s presentation faced criticism for being lengthy and lacking a cohesive theme, with team boss Oliver Oakes seeming eager to wrap up the proceedings. The event showcased a range of approaches and styles in how the teams presented themselves, setting the tone for the upcoming racing season.
