Formula 1 seems to be going big for the start of the next season. On social media, the premier class teases that it wants to usher in 2027 with a three-day season launch. Something ‘special’ is set to happen on the weekend of February 18 to 20, according to a telling message. The 2025 anniversary season was launched in a similar way: then all teams simultaneously unveiled their new cars in London.

Formula 1 announced the news via social media. “Something special is coming,” said the mysterious message. “Get ready.” Several sources report that the festivities will start on February 18 with a warm-up, followed by the main event on February 19 and 20. Based on the images, this season launch seems to take place in Italy. Fans speculate that all F1 teams will once again jointly reveal their different liveries for 2027.

This is not the first time Formula 1 has chosen a joint presentation. In 2025, all teams came together during F1-75 Live at the O2 Arena in London. There, during a spectacular live show, the teams unveiled their new liveries. An event in Italy could follow a similar concept. Formula 1 may want to make a joint season launch a structural part of the calendar. F1-75 last year led to mixed reactions, partly because the different presentations were interspersed with live music.
