It's lights out and away we go. Formula 1 is back for a fresh season and, unlike most recent campaigns, nobody has much of a clue how it's going to pan out.

Red Bull megastar Max Verstappen has won four drivers' titles in a row, but the second half of last season was a slog to say the least.

McLaren made impressive gains throughout 2024 to win the Constructors' Championship. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both enter 2025 as genuine drivers' title contenders.

Then there's Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton is a new boy in red and will be determined to add an unprecedented eighth world title to his name alongside teammate Charles Leclerc.

George Russell becomes the de facto experienced head at Mercedes, with 18-year-old prospect Kimi Antonelli stepping in to make up the team.

Verstappen will be partnered by Liam Lawson after Sergio Pérez lost his seat in the sport.
