The least we can say is that this 2025 season of Formula 1, the last before the new engine and aerodynamic regulations which could reshuffle the cards, looks uncertain at the moment.
Max Verstappen will be attending the Australian Grand Prix (March 14-16) as a four-time reigning world champion, but more threatened than ever. Red Bull has indeed experienced a difficult second half of the year and has seen the emergence of very intense competition between Lando Norris et Oscar piastri which allowed McLaren to hang on to the Constructors title, a Team Ferrari carried by Charles Leclerc and Carlos, and to which we will have to add Lewis Hamilton. Without forgetting Mercedes, capable of sometimes getting involved in the fight for victories.
Beyond the pure performance of each team, the teams have also been very active on the transfer market. One figure bears witness to this great activity: 8, like the duos that changed in the off-season. Only those of McLaren (Lando Norris-Oscar Piastri) and Aston Martin (Fernando Alonso-Lance stroll) have been maintained.
This gives us a very renewed line-up, like the arrival of young talent like Jack Doohan at Alpine, Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes, Oliver Bearman at Haas, Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber or Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls. But also the promotion of Liam Lawson at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen or the transfer ofEsteban Ocon byAlpine in Haas, to name just their case.

Don't think too much Meyers, you might end up tying yourself in knots 😉

Wow, that's tough! Currently, Leclerc is way ahead of Hamilton!? That leaves me more than doubtful.
