F1 in 2023: all car launch dates listed

As the 2022 Formula 1 season ended early due to the World Cup, F1 fans have been without their favourite sport since December. In February, fortunately, it will all start again with the car launches, the winter test in Bahrain and the first Bahrain Grand Prix is already scheduled in early March.

Haas and Red Bull kick off

February is always the month of car launches for F1 teams, but Haas is very early this year. The US team presented its 2023 livery on Tuesday 31 January. Red Bull Racing will follow today. The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez is going big with a car launch in New York.

Three car launches are planned in the second week of February. Williams kicks off first with the launch at the Grove factory on Monday, February 6. Alfa Romeo will hold a car launch in Zurich on Tuesday 7 February. Then it will be a while until the third launch of the week, as it is not until Saturday, February 11. That is when AlphaTauri pulls the curtain off its new car. Red Bull's sister team will also present its new car in New York.

The other five F1 cars will be presented in the third week of February. McLaren and Aston Martin jointly kick off the week with a car presentation on Monday 13 February. Aston Martin's presentation is only in the evening, so McLaren will be the first of the two. Ferrari will present its car on Valentine's Day, Tuesday 14 February, followed by Mercedes on Wednesday 15 February. The final car for 2023 will be presented by Alpine on Thursday, February 16.

On these days, the F1 teams will present their cars for 2023

After Alpine's presentation, it will be a week's wait before the first official 2023 miles are driven. From 23 to 25 February, the drivers will be in action during the winter test in Bahrain. A week after that test, the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain will also follow. The Bahrain GP will be held from 3 to 5 March.
