Ranking what all 10 F1 teams brought to the O2 launch event from worst to best
The inaugural season launch event at the O2 Arena was likened to an additional race in the Formula 1 calendar by a team boss, sparking a discussion on who emerged victorious from the spectacle. The Race’s F1 team assessed and ranked each team’s contributions from worst to best, yielding diverse opinions among the eight contributors and resulting in a combined ranking based on an F1 points system. While Red Bull’s performance was critiqued for lacking originality and failing to engage the live audience effectively, Alpine’s presentation was deemed overly prolonged and lacking focus on the car unveiling aspect. Haas’ emphasis on being an American F1 team during the launch drew contrasting reactions, and Racing Bulls, Red Bull’s junior team, earned praise for their livery design but faced criticism for lacking cohesion in their overall presentation. Despite varying strengths and weaknesses across the teams, the event marked a strategic and creative shift for many, setting the stage for the upcoming F1 season.
