The 2025 Formula 1 season begins with the Australian Grand Prix as Max Verstappen begins his title defence at Albert Park, Melbourne.
The Dutchman is gunning for a fifth consecutive World Championship with Red Bull in the final season before the 2026 regulation overhaul.
Expected to lay down the challenge to Verstappen in 2025 will be the McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, but also Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.
