After an intense 2024 season that saw Max Verstappen (Red Bull) secure his fourth consecutive world championship title, Formula 1 is set to return with an electrifying 2025 season. This year marks the final chapter before the major regulation changes coming in 2026, promising fierce competition across the grid. Adding to the excitement, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has made a historic move to Ferrari in what has been dubbed the “transfer of the century.”
A Highly Competitive Season Ahead
The 75th season of the Formula 1 World Championship is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent history. Following McLaren’s first Constructors’ Championship win since 1998 and Verstappen’s dominance in 2024, the performance gap between teams has been closing. With the upcoming regulation overhaul in 2026, the 2025 season is expected to showcase some of the closest racing seen in years.
The first true test of the new season will come during the Australian Grand Prix, taking place from March 14 to 16. While Red Bull led the early races in 2024, the season ultimately saw an impressive seven different race winners: Max Verstappen (9 wins), Lando Norris (4), Charles Leclerc (3), Lewis Hamilton (2), Oscar Piastri (2), Carlos Sainz (2), and George Russell (2). This level of diversity in race winners was the highest since 2012, further proving that multiple teams are now in contention for victories.
