(Redirected from 2025 Singapore Grand Prix)

Max Verstappen is the reigning World Drivers' Champion, while McLaren-Mercedes are the reigning World Constructors' Champions.

The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula One cars which will be the 76th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship will be contested over twenty-four Grands Prix held around the world. It is scheduled to begin in March and end in December.

The 2025 season is planned to be the last year to utilise the power unit configuration introduced in 2014. A revised configuration without MGU-H but with a higher power output from the MGU-K will be introduced for the 2026 championship.[1] Drivers and teams are scheduled to compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion respectively. Max Verstappen is the reigning Drivers' Champion,[2] while McLaren-Mercedes are the reigning Constructors' Champions.[3]

This will be the last year of the generation of cars introduced in 2022 and the last year of the drag reduction system (DRS) introduced as an overtaking aid in 2011 as cars with active aerodynamics and moveable wings are being introduced from 2026.[4] This will also be the last year that Renault participates in the sport, as it will cease production of their engines for their team Alpine.[5]

Entries

The following constructors and drivers are under contract to compete in the 2025 World Championship. All teams are due to compete with tyres supplied by Pirelli.[6] Each team is required to enter at least two drivers, one for each of the two mandatory cars.[7]

Team changes

RB discontinued its use of the initialism and instead entered as Racing Bulls, thus changing their team and constructor name.[37]

Driver changes

Oliver Bearman (top left), Andrea Kimi Antonelli (top centre), Jack Doohan (top right), Gabriel Bortoleto (bottom left), Liam Lawson (bottom centre) and Isack Hadjar (bottom right) are set to make their debuts as full-time drivers with Haas, Mercedes, Alpine, Sauber, Red Bull Racing, and Racing Bulls, respectively.

Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes after twelve seasons to join Ferrari, ending his record-breaking streak of the most consecutive seasons driving for a single constructor, as well as competing in his first season without a Mercedes power unit.[52] He will replace Carlos Sainz Jr., who left Ferrari after four seasons to join Williams on a multi-year deal. Sainz was initially set to replace Logan Sargeant, but Sargeant was replaced by Franco Colapinto part way through the 2024 season.[20][50][53][54] Hamilton will be replaced by Mercedes junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who was promoted from Formula 2.[35][55]

Haas will field an all new line-up in 2025; Nico Hülkenberg will leave the team after two seasons to drive for Sauber, with whom he last competed in 2013.[30][56] He will be replaced by their reserve driver Oliver Bearman, who will step up from Formula 2, having previously raced in the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for Ferrari, and in the 2024 Azerbaijan and São Paulo Grands Prix for Haas.[24] Kevin Magnussen will also depart the team after seven seasons across two stints.[57] He will be replaced by Esteban Ocon, who split from Alpine after five seasons with Team Enstone after the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix.[58] Jack Doohan, who replaced Ocon for the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, will retain the seat at Alpine for 2025.[10][59]

Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will both leave Sauber after three years.[60] Bottas will rejoin Mercedes as a reserve driver, after having previously raced for the team from 2017 to 2021.[61] The vacant seat alongside Hülkenberg will be filled by reigning Formula 2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto.[29]

Despite a previously announced contract until 2026, Sergio Pérez left Red Bull Racing after the conclusion of the 2024 season.[62] He will be replaced by Liam Lawson, who will be promoted from Racing Bulls after five Grands Prix in 2023 under the AlphaTauri moniker, and six Grands Prix in 2024 under the use of the initialism (RB).[46] Red Bull Racing reserve and Formula 2 runner-up Isack Hadjar was promoted to Racing Bulls in his place.[40]

Calendar changes

The Australian Grand Prix is planned to host the opening race of the 2025 season for the first time since 2019. The Australian Grand Prix was the third round in the past three seasons, after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, respectively, with those events being pushed back in 2025 to avoid a conflict with Ramadan.[67][68] The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2025 calendar.[69] However, the contract was terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[70]

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

Minimum weight changes

The minimum driver weight allowance has been increased from 80 kilograms (176.4 lb) to 82 kilograms (180.8 lb). As a consequence of this, the overall minimum weight limit of the car without fuel also increased from 798 kilograms (1,759 lb) to 800 kilograms (1,764 lb). This is to curb the advantage of either shorter or lighter drivers over taller drivers.[71][72]

Driver cooling

A driver cooling kit will be introduced for 2025. The system will only be mandated by the FIA in extreme heat conditions, with the minimum weight of the cars increased correspondingly when applicable. This is to avoid a repeat of driver overheating witnessed at the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.[73] When the FIA predicts a temperature over 30.5 °C, a "heat hazard" will be declared. This will require teams to equip the drivers with their cooling systems, and the minimum weight will be raised by 5 kilograms (11 lb) to compensate for the equipment.[74]

DRS parameters

The slot gaps for the rear wing between the two modes of the DRS will be changed, with the minimum gap reduced. It will be shrunk from 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in) to 9.4–13 millimetres (0.37–0.51 in); the upper boundary remains at 85 millimetres (3.3 in) with DRS open. The FIA will also tighten up the rules on the DRS modes, stating that there must only be two positions and that ending the application of DRS must return the wing exactly as defined to the initial mode.[74]

Sporting regulations

Fastest lap point

The point awarded to drivers finishing in the top ten positions for setting the fastest lap in the race, which was reintroduced in 2019, will be abolished.[7][75][76]

Young driver free practice requirements

The requirements for fielding a young driver during free practice will increase from once per season per car to twice per season per car.[77]

Testing of previous cars

The sporting regulations will tighten the restrictions on the testing of previous cars (TPC). This will see a twenty day limit imposed on TPC, and drivers competing in the championship will only be allowed to cover a maximum of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) over four days of testing. Testing will only be permitted at circuits that have featured on the calendar in the current or previous year. However, testing is not permitted on tracks which will host a race within sixty days of a test, nor “if the circuit is deemed, at the sole discretion of the FIA, to have undergone significant modification” since the last Formula One race.[78]

Qualifying contingencies

The sporting regulations will include specifically prescribed provisions for how the starting grids for sprints and Grands Prix should be set in the event that qualifying for these sessions is cancelled. The starting grid will be set according to the drivers' championship standings. Previously it was left solely to the discretion of the stewards to determine the starting grid order if a qualifying session could not take place. If the Drivers' Championship standings cannot be applied to determine the starting grid order, it remains at the racing stewards discretion.[7][79]

Starting grid formation

The protocol for closing up the grid when some cars do not make it to the start of a race was amended following the starting grid formation for cars withdrawn before the start of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix. The final grid will now be determined one hour before the start of the race. Cars that are withdrawn up to 75 minutes before the start will not be included in the final grid, and the following cars will all move up the relevant positions.[73]

Season summary

Season launch

For the first time in the history of the sport, all teams will take part in a collective season launch event at The O2 Arena in London on 18 February 2025, where teams will unveil their liveries for the season.[80]

Pre-season

A single pre-season test will be held at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on 26–28 February.[81]
