2025. Formula 1: Hamilton’s Ferrari debut in Melbourne, Verstappen-Norris | Moto Sports News
The Formula One 2025 Season has all the production of a very competitive celebration of 24 races to mark 75 years since the 1950th Inningstanding Championships.
The extremely published move by Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari was a key out -of -season story. The British Star driver says that the transition from Mercedes to Ferrari gave him a new lease about life.
Max Verstappen Red Bull seems to have been cut to seal the fifth title of driver with Land Norris from McLaren who is ready to overthrow the Dutchman from his nibbling.
Here are key conversations before the F1 2025 season begins in Australia on Sunday:
Can Max win title number five?
Seventy -five years after Giuseppe Farina claimed the first F1 World Cup on Alfa Romeo’s round, Verstappen starts in the 2025 season in search of a fifth consecutive title, a Podvig that is only before, from 2000 to 2000.
If it succeeds, it will strengthen the Dutch site as a titanium sport.
Last year, in his season, Red Bull performed seven of the first 10 races, before withstanding a 10 race win, while McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari closed the championship gap.
But Verstappen had the last word, returning to win in Brazil and won the title number four with two races.
McLaren appreciated the F1 Constructors Championship away from the Red Bull – a prize established by the total points that accumulated two drivers during the season – for the first time in 1998.
The difficult task facing Verstappen is underlined by betting, which has only the second favorite behind Norris (which ended last season 63 points behind) for the 2025 driver crown.
Can Hamilton return Ferrari to the days of glory?
Hamilton is convinced that he can help Ferrari to win his first driving championship since 2007 after the seven -time world champion went to Italy.
In the 40th year, a Briton looks full of youthful enthusiasm for a new challenge.
“The passion is here as anything you have ever seen. They have absolutely every ingredient they need to win the World Cup, and only in accordance with all pieces,” he said.
Battle for 2025. Novalia
The Italian teenager who passed the driving test only in January is one of six strong recruits of recruits.
Kimi Antonelli is an exciting 18-year-old who takes Hamilton’s place along with George Russell in Mercedes.
“I really want to make my story,” said last year’s winner of multiple Formula 2, rejecting the proposals that he was the “replacement” of the sevenfold world champion in Silver Arrows.
The New Zealand Liam Lawson, who replaced Daniel Ricciard in Red Bull in 2024 and has already been racing in 11 Grand Prix, brings his full debut as Verstappen’s new Krilate in Red Bull.
Ferrari’s driver British Academy Ollie Bearman joined the Haas team, while Brazil has the presence on the network at F2 champion Gabriel Bortolet for the first time in five years.
Australian Jack Doohan will hope to enjoy even the little slice of his legendary father Mick on Mick in Moto, while graduating from a spare driver driver to become a teammate Pierre Gasly on Alpine.
The last but not least, is Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar, a 20-year-old French Algeria who closely missed Bortolet because of the F2 title.
FIA in the drivers of the intersection
In a volatile, unpredictable, highly octane bubble that is F1, one thing seems to be secured in 2025: a renewed tension between the control body and the driver, especially through FIA’s swearing action.
Verstappen and Charles Leclerc’s highest drivers violated rules in 2024 to use passers -by at a F1 press conference.
The guidelines were reinforced in January, causing a bitter response of the driver, who ran his finger at FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
“We invite President FIA to also consider his tone and language when he talks to drivers, or about them, whether in a public forum or otherwise,” they wrote, adding: “Our members are adults. They should not be given instructions through the media, about trivial things like wearing jewelry or pants.”
From Australia to Abu Dabi
Australia hosted the first of the 24 races next weekend, and the Bahrein race was moved to April while Ramadan lasts during March. In addition, six of the 24 places will be held by six Sprint races: Shanghai, Miami, Belgium, Austin, Sao Paulo and Katar.
FIA tries to revive the gem in the calendar-monk-where the overtaking is almost impossible, imposing a mandatory two-wheeled strategy.
The traditional three -week summer break comes in August, and F1 Circus is located in the Abu Dabi desert for the finals of the season on December 7th.
F1 Executive Director Stefano Domenicali said that “2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Formula One Formula One Formula One, and this heritage and experience allows us to deliver such a strong calendar.”
Testing times
The three days of preseason testing in Bahrein last month did not reveal much about the form of the highest teams.
With unknown fuel loads and the settings of the team retained under the cover, it was difficult if not impossible to determine the winners and losers.
Russell’s Mercedes was at the top of the crowd on the last day. Williams Carlos Sainz surpassed the middle day, and Norris’s McLaren received honors on the first day.
Ferrari was in the crowd, and Verstappen will be pleased with his account of the last day.
The main step from the test is that most of the teams look closely coincidentally, which forced McLaren Director Zak Brown to predict: “I see that he is super competitive. Last year, four teams beat in several races. This year I could see that it was even more. I’m more excited than nervous. “
