Livery reveals begin with sister teams Red Bull and Racing Bulls on the 15th of January, held in Detroit, USA. Next comes Haas on the 19th of January, through an online platform. They are followed by Audi Revolut, the new F1 team to take over Sauber, which has confirmed their official livery design will be shown to the public on 20th January. Just two days later on Thursday the 22nd of January, Mercedes will take over with their livery reveal online. The next day, on the 23rd, the iconic red of Scuderia Ferrari will dazzle the fans alongside Alpine's pink ahead of Barcelona testing.

The following month will bring more livery reveals with Williams to go first on the 3rd of February. This is an improvement from past years where Williams were developing the car right up to testing and would run tight for time to fit in a livery reveal. It highlights just how successful the 2025 season was for the team in terms of moving forward. Next is the other new team, Cadillac, on the 8th of February with McLaren with Aston Martin on the 9th. 

We look forward to seeing the colours the teams will bring to the track this season with McLaren’s highest team entry fee of $7,732,579 USD. On the opposite side of the scale, the lowest price paid was $703,330 USD by Cadillac, the 11th team on the grid.
