Oman today_ Formula 1 has announced that in 2026, there will no longer be a public unveiling event for team cars. This decision comes following last year’s grand celebration in London, held to mark the 75th anniversary of the championship. The event showcased new cars and liveries from all teams and was met with widespread enthusiasm from fans.
The live broadcast of the event on Formula 1’s YouTube channel peaked at 1.1 million concurrent viewers and garnered a total audience of 7.5 million across various platforms. Despite this success, Formula 1 officials, after consulting with teams and stakeholders, decided not to hold a similar event in 2026.
The primary reason for this decision was the unique nature of last year’s celebration, held specifically for the 75th anniversary of the sport. Furthermore, the significant regulatory changes set to take effect in the 2026 season mean that teams will require more time and focus to prepare their cars for the upcoming season.
