The Formula 1 2025 season began with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne last month. The race saw Lando Norris emerge as the champion with Oscar Piastri delivering a 1-2 podium finish for McLaren by coming in second place. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took rounded off the podium.
The focus then shifted to the Chinese Grand Prix a week later in which Lewis Hamilton posted his first-ever victory for his new team Ferrari in the Sprint Race.
In the main race, Norris and Piastri switched positions for McLaren. While the Australian finished atop the podium, the Brit took the second place. George Russell of Mercedes completed the podium.
After a week off following the first doubleheader of the 2025 season, the Formula 1 returns to Asia with the main race to take place on April 6. The third race of the calendar year, the Japanese Grand Prix, will be held at the Suzuka Circuit.
