The 2025 season features several notable driver changes, including Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari and the debut of promising rookies like Kimi Antonelli and Gabriel Bortoleto.
Notable Driver Changes
The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship features several significant driver changes that have reshaped the grid. Most notably, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has made his highly anticipated move to Ferrari, partnering with Charles Leclerc to form what many consider the strongest driver lineup on the grid. This move has created a domino effect throughout the paddock, with Carlos Sainz Jr. moving to Williams to replace the departing Logan Sargeant.
Another major story is the promotion of Mercedes junior driver Kimi Antonelli, who steps into the seat vacated by Hamilton. The 18-year-old Italian is considered one of the most promising talents to enter Formula One in recent years. Other changes include Esteban Ocon’s move from Alpine to Haas, where he partners with Oliver Bearman, who impressed during his substitute appearance for Ferrari in 2024.
Power Unit Suppliers
The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship features four power unit suppliers, with Renault preparing for its final season before exiting the sport. Mercedes continues to supply the most teams (four), followed by Ferrari (three), Honda RBPT (two), and Renault (one). This distribution will change significantly in 2026 when Audi enters the sport and Ford partners with Red Bull.
Renault’s impending departure adds emotional significance to Alpine’s campaign, as the French manufacturer looks to conclude its long history in Formula One on a high note. The Renault power unit, which has won championships with multiple constructors, will be retired after this season, marking the end of an era for the sport.
Season Expectations
As the final season under current regulations, the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship presents unique challenges and opportunities for each team. Reigning constructors’ champions McLaren will be looking to defend their title against strong challenges from Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes. The driver’s championship battle promises to be equally compelling, with Max Verstappen aiming for his fifth consecutive title against rivals including Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and Charles Leclerc.
The midfield battle is expected to be closer than ever, with Aston Martin, Alpine, and Racing Bulls all showing strong development toward the end of the 2024 season. Further back, Williams and Sauber will be hoping that their driver changes provide the boost needed to move up the constructors’ standings. Throughout the grid, teams face the delicate balance of maximizing performance in 2025 while allocating resources to the completely new 2026 car designs.
As the season progresses, the development race will be fascinating to watch, with teams making different strategic decisions about when to switch focus to their 2026 projects. This could create opportunities for teams that continue developing their 2025 cars later into the season, potentially shaking up the competitive order as the campaign reaches its conclusion.
