Liberty Media is planning to launch all the 2018 cars at once at a major event in February of next year. The cars would all be in the same spot for fans to see, and it is not yet clear if plans for the revelation will be in the city of Barcelona or at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The event is scheduled to take place on the eve of the first test, with fans having free access to view the cars. It comes as another move to make Formula 1 more accessible to the general public.

Before any of that happens, however, there is a major battle for the world championship happening this season between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, who appear to be neck and neck for the 2017 world title.
"A red world champion would be a blessing for everyone," said former Renault boss Flavio Briatore. "But if I assess the chances today, I would say it's 60 per cent for Hamilton and 40pc for Vettel. And for the constructors', I have the impression that Bottas is stronger than Raikkonen," the Italian told Rai radio.
Former F1 driver Christian Klien agrees: "Before Canada I saw Ferrari with the advantage, especially with handling the tyres. But the tables have turned since Montreal, with Mercedes understanding better how to get the Pirellis into the best operating window," he told the Austrian broadcaster Servus TV. "The world champion will be the team that develops the most efficiently until the end of the season," Klien predicted.
