The 2025 Formula 1 season promises to be another thrilling chapter in motorsport history, with the paddock visiting five of the world's seven continents. The championship features 24 exciting race weekends spanning from March to December, offering fans around the globe non-stop racing action.

Season Overview

The 2025 season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix from March 14-16 and concludes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the weekend of December 5-7. This year's calendar maintains the same 24 events as the previous season, but with some notable changes to the running order that will keep teams and fans on their toes.

Key Calendar Changes

One of the most significant changes for 2025 is the Australian Grand Prix returning to kick off the season, with the Bahrain Grand Prix now the fourth race. Additionally, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has been moved to the fifth race, previously held immediately after Bahrain. These adjustments create a fresh dynamic for the championship start.

Pre-Season Testing

Before the racing begins, teams will fine-tune their machines during the Formula 1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing from February 26-28 in Sakhir, Bahrain. This crucial period allows teams to test their new cars and prepare for the intense season ahead.
