The clock is ticking down until the first race of F1 2023 in Bahrain on March 5.
Before that, all F1 teams will officially launch their new challengers ahead of pre-season testing.
Car launches give teams the perfect opportunity to show off their new car livery or new sponsors.
While the actual car is often not what they will run in testing or the first race, it gives us all a small chance of seeing what the new year will look like on track.
Here’s when the teams plan to unveil their new beasts for 2023:
Red Bull – February 3
The reigning constructors’ champions have promised a “season launch” in New York so we hope to get the first glimpse of the new machinery that Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will use.
Williams – February 6
Williams have confirmed the earliest launch so far on February 6. However the team have dubbed it a ‘season launch’, so we expect digital renderings of their 2023 car and livery, rather than a physical launch.
Alfa Romeo – February 7
Alfa Romeo will unveil their 2023 challenger, the C43, on February 7 in Zurich.
AlphaTauri – February 11
AlphaTauri’s AT04 challenger will break cover in New York City on February 11.
Aston Martin – February 13
Aston Martin are the first team to announce a date for their car launch.
Their unveiling will take place on February 13, 7pm, at the team’s headquarters at Silverstone.
McLaren – February 13
McLaren will launch their 2023 F1 car on the same day as Aston Martin.
Ferrari – February 14
Ferrari became the second team to confirm their launch plans, with a Valentine’s Day reveal date of February 14 for their 2023 F1 challenger.
Mercedes – February 15
Mercedes will reveal their W14 challenger on Wednesday February 15 at a digital launch event at Silverstone.
Alpine – February 16
Alpine became the fourth team to confirm their launch plans at the start of the New Year. The Anglo-French outfit will unveil their A523 challenger on February 16 in London.
