Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan, Oliver Bearman, Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto and now Isack Hadjar. These six young talents will be on the starting grid of the 2025 Australian Grand Prix on March 16, to begin their first season in Formula 1 as a starter. Six rookies in Formula 1 is a first since 2010. Never has the grid been so renewed in the last ten years, with more than a quarter of the grid composed entirely of rookies. A phenomenon that has tended to become rarer since the end of the 2010s. And to prove it to you, we have compiled all the rookie drivers in the 2001st century – since the XNUMX season – and their statistics on their first full season in Formula XNUMX.

You can consider AH as you want, it is seriously lacking in relevance, as for the 2010 season with 3 new teams, it completely distorts the situation.

A real rejuvenation of F1, with the lowest average age since the beginning of the century... and perhaps even the lowest ever recorded in the 75 years of F1!

2010, the year of the rookies (Hülkenberg, B. Senna, Alguersuari, Chandhok, Kobayashi and Petrov) linked to the integration of 3 new teams that year (HRT, Virgin and Lotus). When will there be an 11th then a 12th or even a 13th team in F1 to create a movement of permanent renewal of drivers? As for the different academies, some really only exist by their name like Sauber or Haas, isn't that right Théo P. and Pietro F.?
