The F1 75 season event is ticking ever closer and has received support from Mercedes boss Toto Wolff
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff expressed his support for the F1 75 event happening this weekend in London at The O2 Arena. The 10 F1 teams will gather on Tuesday to unveil the liveries for the upcoming season, marking the first collective release of fresh color schemes for the year ahead in F1’s 75-year history. Despite Max Verstappen jokingly hoping to be sick that day last year, Wolff believes the event will be a positive milestone for F1. The launch, reminiscent of a race weekend, will feature all teams and drivers presenting, generating significant media hype and offering fans a glimpse of the new liveries. The event comes just before pre-season testing in Bahrain where teams will gather crucial data on their new cars, with relatively stable regulations expected to result in a closely contested field. Wolff likened the season launch to the NFL draft and praised F1’s efforts to promote testing and maintain stability in the sport under the leadership of Stefano and Liberty.
