The 2025 F1 season is poised to be the closest in series history if last year’s campaign is anything to go by.
In the 2024 F1 season, seven drivers achieved multiple Grand Prix victories, a first in the sport’s history, showcasing the competitiveness among different teams like Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes. As the current rule cycle nears its end, drivers anticipate an even tighter competition for the upcoming campaign. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri predicts a challenging season with uncertain outcomes from race to race, similar to the unpredictability of the previous season. Despite McLaren being seen as favorites, there is a belief that midfield teams will challenge the traditional frontrunners, with Lando Norris tipping a non-“big four” team to clinch a race win in 2025. Expectations are high for an epic Formula 1 season with multiple teams contending for victories, setting the stage for intense on-track battles and surprises.
