There has been a shake-up with the 2025 grid and only two teams, McLaren and Aston Martin, have stuck with their line-up from last year.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari is the biggest change going into the new season.
Six rookies are set to make their full-time debut. Oliver Bearman caught the eye when he stood in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari and Kevin Magnussen at Haas last season. The 19-year-old Briton joins Haas on a multi-year contract.
New Zealand’s Liam Lawson, who made 11 F1 appearances in 2023 and 2024, has the daunting task of being team-mate to world champion Verstappen at Red Bull.
Gabriel Bortoleto, the 2024 Formula 2 champion, will drive for Sauber, while runner-up Isack Hadjar joins Red Bull sister team Racing Bulls, which has been renamed from RB.
Mercedes protege Andrea Kimi Antonelli, 18, comes into the team to replace Hamilton.
Australian Jack Doohan is in the Alpine seat after being a reserve driver for two years. He made his debut in the final race of last season in Abu Dhabi.
A full list of the 10 teams and 20 drivers is listed below.
