The year 2025 marks the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, and the celebrations kicked off at Albert Park in Melbourne, despite a rainy forecast.
This season will be the last for the current generation of F1 cars before major rule changes in 2026 when Cadillac will join the grid for the first time.
Notably, Lewis Hamilton has made headlines by switching to Ferrari this season. Additionally, several drivers have changed teams: Carlos Sainz moved to Williams, Nico Hülkenberg is now with Sauber, and Esteban Ocon has joined Haas.
This season also features a record number of newcomers, including Isack Hadjar for VCARB, Jack Doohan for Alpine, Gabriel Bortoletto for Sauber, Kimi Antonelli for Mercedes, and Oliver Bearman for Haas.
The 75th anniversary season promises to be one for the history books.

Lando Norris drew first blood by beating last year’s champion Max Verstappen to win the Australian Grand Prix while Mercedes-AMG driver George Russell completed the podium by finishing 3rd. In addition, Kimi Antonelli appealed the 5-second penalty imposed for his tangle with Hülkenberg. Isack Hadjar’s debut race unfortunately ended in shambles before it started when his car crashed on the second turn.
Norris won his first race of the season but the Mercedes-AMG team is in the offense. F1's 75th-anniversary celebration has truly begun. The next race is the Heineken Chinese Grand Prix this March 22, 2025.
