The 2025 Formula 1 World Championship is underway, and the grid looks set for a closely-fought, unpredictable and thrilling season

The 2025 Formula 1 season looks set to produce a fierce title fight, but who will be challenging for the championship? Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are nailed-on contenders after taking the first two grand prix victories of the year, but don’t discount Max Verstappen — he’s just a point behind Norris after winning in the Japanese Grand Prix.

Others can hope to bridge the gap too: Lewis Hamilton has already shown that he can win in the Chinese GP sprint race, while others are amassing points race after race: George Russell has been on the podium for two out of the last three grands prix.

Behind them, we look to be seeing a resurgence in form at Williams and Racing Bulls; the emergence of impressive talent among the F1 rookies; and continuing struggles at Red Bull to find a team-mate who can match Verstappen.

The scene is set for a thrilling, unpredictable season, which looks to have all the ingredients of a true classic.
