These Are All Ten Formula 1 Teams’ Liveries for the 2025 Season

Few pieces of sports equipment see form follow function as closely as in a Formula 1 car. These machines are shaped by scientists rather than sculptors, their complex forms littered with wings, canards, venturis, and all manner of atmosphere manipulators.

Smooth, unbroken surfaces are basically nonexistent, and all the cars just look “busy” now compared to the more distinctive, simpler shapes of the sport’s past. As such, creating the current cars’ visual identities is a job left primarily to their liveries.

All ten Formula 1 teams revealed their 2025 season paint schemes this week during the sport’s 75th-anniversary celebrations in London’s 02 Arena. Some designs—like incumbent constructors’ champion, McLaren’s—were hardly changed, while others—like Sauber’s—took a bolder approach. Regardless and unsurprisingly, sponsor logos still clutter and dominate the teams’ new looks across the board.

McLaren MCL39

Driven by: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri

This is basically the same Papaya Orange-based livery that the reigning constructors’ champ ran last year. The multi-color wheel covers echoing the Google Chrome logo is still one of the neatest livery ideas on the grid.

Red Bull RB21

Driven by: Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson

The charging bull on the engine cover remains a great looking and thematically clever design, but the overall livery is getting a bit long in the tooth. With the team’s constructors’ title streak broken last year, 2025 would have been a perfect time for a more comprehensive redesign, but alas.

Ferrari SF-25

Driven by: Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc

So many teams opt for a “black-plus-manufacturer-color” paint job, but Ferrari has brightened up its look by adding blocks of bright white into this year’s design, which recalls the Scuderia’s earlier looks from the 1970s and ’80s.

Mercedes-AMG F1 W16

Driven by: George Russell and Kimi Antonelli

Mercedes also brightened up its look for 2025, with a prominent silver nose that recalls the Silver Arrows of yore, and a smattering of three-pointed stars strewn across the engine cover. The rest of the car retains the sinister black-and-carbon look from last year, but the overall package isn’t so evil looking this time around.

Aston Martin AMR25

Driven by: Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll

The elegant yellow beltline stripe from last year’s car has been split apart in the 2025 scheme, which makes the sidepod area look a bit disjointed. Still, it’s hard to hate on the Aston green-and-silver-pairing on the intake—we just wish the design highlighted that classic pairing more prominently. 

BWT Alpine A525

Driven by: Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan

This is one of our favorite redesigns of the lot; nothing pops against carbon fiber curves like bright pink and metallic blue, and the 2025 version of the BWT-sponsored car cleans up last year’s livery with more defined chunks of color and simple but strong shapes. It may be an also-ran team, but it’s one of the best looking mid-fielders out there.

Haas VF-25

Driven by: Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman

Another year, another missed opportunity for an outrageously in-your-face American flag Haas livery—are we sure this is a U.S.-based team? We know the company’s colors are red, white, and black, but we can’t help thinking that this looks like a Porsche Motorsport livery from a decade ago. Its nice, but just not the one we’d love to see from Haas.

Racing Bulls VCARB 02

Driven by: Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar

We sort of love and hate this one. It’s refreshing to see a bright white base color (with just the perfect amount of matte effect), but this is the laziest design we’ve seen from the new crop of 2025 cars; sponsor logos are pasted on like fridge magnets, while the blue bulls on the engine cover look like a clear rip-off of Mercedes’ design. Still, the colors do a lot of heavy lifting here, and it will probably look much better in motion.

Williams FW47

Driven by: Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz

This is how you pull off a simple scheme and satisfy your sponsors with elegance. The blue gradient is subtle and beautiful, while the white accent lines do an excellent job of integrating the plethora of logos. The Duracell air intake remains one of our favorite F1 logo placements in history.

Kick Sauber C45

Driven by: Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto

Simple, but extremely striking, this green-and-black scheme will surely stand out this year, and it is a massive improvement over the 2024 car’s random-looking geometric patterns. Next year’s car will likely look very different under Audi’s direction, so this may be the last neon-green F1 car we’ll see for some time.
