Leclerc/Hamilton on one side, Verstappen/Lawson on the other, Piastri/Norris for third and Russell for the moment at Mercedes, 4 teams will fight with more or less confidence. What should we expect from this suspenseful new season?
Who will be F1 champion in 2025? Never have the predictions been so open for all members of the paddock and followers of Formula 1. And there is reason to be optimistic for fans of the most watched motor race in the world. The choice is vast for lovers who will have to put emotions aside.
Ferrari stronger than ever
It’s the coup of the century for Scuderia Ferrari. The arrival of Lewis Hamilton looks like a great idea and a coup de grace for Mercedes. It's true that the F1 transfer window was a revolution with the transfer of the Englishman to the Italian. So, to ask if the Scuderia is much stronger than ever, yes with a man who knows his two drivers by heart.
Fréderic Vasseur will still be at the heart of the Ferrari reactor to seek a title with his duo. The Scuderia expects a lot from this season which will be the toughest on the circuit since the duels between Prost, Lauda and Senna.
From now on, Ferrari is ready for battle and guarantee a new sporting balance. In addition, Fred Vasseur will make no number one his hobby horse. Including for 2025 until, at a certain point.
Red Bull, the weak link of the fantastic 4?
The departure of Sergio Perez has weakened the Red Bull community. The Mexican should sign for another team outside of F1. The immediate sanction was pronounced on Instagram. The Austrian team lost 450,000 followers with the departure of Checo.
More generally, Red Bull will be very limited in its development and evolution prospects. It remains to be seen the determination of the reigning four-time world champion. His behavior in the second part of the season raises concerns about the consistency of the man and the driver.
Red Bull has many weaknesses that no one knows if there will be any follow-up to the ideas. The competition is much tougher for Red Bull who must manage 3 colts with a big desire to dethrone the reigning champion team.
A fight that Mercedes cannot play
Mercedes has had a difficult year without abandoning the results. Russell and Hamilton kept the German boat afloat without transcending themselves. Now orphaned by Lewis Hamilton, Georges Russell will take on the role of number one. With a young driver from Mercedes, the Briton will have to be ambitious and clever for good.
The German brand has flawless stability with Toto Wolff at the helm. However, the loss of the title in 2021a has definitively weakened the manufacturer without regaining the title. It remains to really know the project of the silver arrow for the first third of the 2025 championship.
McLaren, 2025, year of the grail?
Can McLaren really get their hands on the trophies that are at stake in 2025? The orange point still has a lot of work to do and remains the most serious candidate against Red Bull.
With his duo now well established, Piastri will be keen to hinder Norris in his quest for the title; Except that the team will look for the right compromise to know who has the best chance of putting themselves in a position to win.
McLaren has had the most reliable car in the paddock for two years. The English brand is looking for the right balance to bring back a title to the stable which has been missing for many years.
It will also be the last year for the teams to deal with the regulations before profound changes in 2026 with the arrival of Audi.
