Formula 1: Latest News, Race Results and Season Guide
If you love the roar of engines and the drama of pit lanes, you’re in the right place. Here we break down what’s hot in F1 right now, so you can follow the action without missing a beat.
What’s happening this season?
The 2025 calendar kicks off in Bahrain and runs through to the streets of Abu Dhabi. So far, Red Bull has kept the lead, but Mercedes and Ferrari are edging closer after a string of podium finishes. Max Verstappen’s aggressive qualifying laps are still the benchmark, yet Charles Leclerc’s recent surge in qualifying speed suggests the gap could shrink fast.
Mid‑season, the summer sprint races are shaking up the points table. Sprint winners earn extra points, making every lap count. At the Monaco sprint, George Russell snatched a surprise win, pushing his team into the top three of the constructors’ standings.
Driver changes are also making headlines. Oscar Piastri is getting his first full‑season drive with McLaren, and fans are already debating his potential to challenge the veterans. Meanwhile, the rookie from Saudi Arabia, Yasser Al‑Fahad, is turning heads with his bold overtakes in the Saudi Grand Prix.
Technical updates matter too. The new floor design introduced at the Spanish Grand Prix improved downforce, giving teams that adapted quickly a clear advantage. Teams are now testing more aggressive brake cooling solutions ahead of the high‑temperature races in Australia.
