Seventy -five years after Giuseppe Farina won the first F1 world championship in a Human of the type Alfa Romeo, Verstapen begins in the 2025 season in the pursuit of a title in a row in a row, an achievement that was only once achieved, by Michael Schumacher, from 2000 until 2004.

But Verstapen had the last word, as he fought to win in Brazil and the number four with two races to spare.

McLaren won the F1 Constructors away from Red Bull – a prize determined by the total points on which the two team drivers accumulate for one season – for the first time since 1998.

FIA at the intersection of drivers

In an unpredictable and unpredictable bubble that is the F1, it seems that one thing guaranteed in 2025: renewed tension between the ruling body and drivers, especially on the FIA ​​campaign on the right -wing.

The best drivers at VerstapPen and Charles Leclerc have exceeded the bases in 2024 to use profanity in the F1 press conference.

The guidelines were strengthened in January, which resulted in a sarcastic response from the drivers, who criticized the president of FIA Muhammad bin Selim.

“We urge FIA ​​president to also think about a tone and language when talking to our member drivers, or in reality, whether in a public forum or otherwise,” they wrote: “Our members are adults. They do not need to give instructions via the media, about trivial matters such as wearing jewelry or internal pants.”

From Australia to Abu Dhabi

Australia will host the first 24 race race at the end of next week, and the race was transferred in Bahrain to April, while Ramadan runs throughout March. In addition, there will be six enemy race races in six of the 24 sites: Shanghai, Miami, Belgium, Austin, Sao Paulo and Qatar.

FIA is trying to raise the jewel in the calendar-Solaco-where the transgression is impossible, imposing a mandatory dual-stop strategy.

The three -week traditional summer vacation comes in August, and the F1 circus is launched in the Abu Dhabi desert at the end of the season on December 7.

“The year 2025 will be a private year as we celebrate the seventy -fifth anniversary of the FIA ​​Formula One World, which is the legacy and experience that allows us to provide such a strong calendar,” said Stefano Dominilese, CEO of F1.

Test times

The times of three days of the pre -season test in Bahrain did not reveal last month the shape of the highest ranking teams.

With fuel loads unknown and the team groups remain under the winding, it was difficult if it was not impossible to determine the winners and losers.

Mercedes Russell topped the pile on the last day. Williams from Carlos Science topped the time on midday, and McLaren Norris got honors on the first day.

Ferrari was a stir in abundance, and Versaben would be pleased with his width on the last day.

The main meals of the test is that the bulk of the difference seems closely identical, prompting the CEO of McLaren Zak Brown to predict: “I can see it as a very competitor. Last year, four teams won several races. This year, I could see more. I’m more excited than nervous.”
