The 2025 season of Formula 1 will begin with the Australian Grand Prix. The much anticipated event started with practice events on March 14 and the main race is scheduled on March 16.

All eyes will be on Lewis Hamilton, who made a shock move to Ferrari after having represented Mercedes for the last 12 years, and having won seven driver titles during the stint. He is paired with Charles Leclerc.

Red Bull legend Max Verstappen also eyes to make a positive start after a record breaking 2023 season and a remarkable last season. He will team up with Liam Lawson at the Australian Grand Prix.

No local driver has been able to win the competition so far. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri will be keen to end the 40-year-old wait this year, pairing up with Lando Norris.

Among the drivers who will race, Hamilton has won the Australian Grand Prix twice, in 2008 and 2015. Meanwhile, Leclerc won the final race in 2022, Verstappen finished atop the podium in 2023, and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz emerged victorious in the last season in Melbourne.

Germany’s Michael Schumacher remains the most successful driver on this circuit with four titles.

The drivers will race for 58 laps on 5.2 kilometrs circuit with the race covering a total distance of 306 kilometres. Defending champion Sainz completed the race in 1:19.813 last season.
