McLaren and Aston Martin boast an unbelievable statistic heading into the 2025 Formula 1 season!
The 2025 Formula 1 season is impending, and the driver market chaos of last year has led to a surprising revelation from McLaren and Aston Martin. Only these two teams have maintained their 2024 driver pairings as the new campaign kicks off shortly in Australia. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri continue their partnership for a third consecutive season, mirroring Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll’s tenure at Aston Martin. Despite this, it’s uncommon for the longest driver pairing in F1 to have just three years together, especially with Alonso’s 22-season record. The lack of continuity stems from all other eight teams introducing fresh line-ups for 2025, featuring a notable six rookies – the most since 2010. Last year’s joint longest pairings were Max Verstappen & Sergio Perez at Red Bull, and Charles Leclerc & Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, who lasted four seasons before changes. Now fans can easily add the 2025 F1 calendar to their schedules with the RN365 calendar download.
