For the first time ever all ten teams, their drivers and Team Principals will come together with fans at London's iconic venue The O2 to unveil their 2025 liveries.
Episode 1
For the first time since 2019, the Formula One season started in Albert Park. After much anticipation, finally came the time for so many storylines: Hamilton's first race with Ferrari, Sainz moving to Williams, 5 rookies (Kimi Andrea Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto, Jack Doohan and Isack Hadjar) and other stories were massive points of interest for the 2025 season opener. After an unexpectedly interesting 2024 season, the expectations were high. With the weekend's progression, McLaren looked mighty, but it wasn't such a walk in the park after the rain came down in Melbourne.
Episode 2
As the second race begins, the highest teams in the early season are McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes. After an intense Australia, the rookies have proved that their rise is gonna be tough and full of rocks, with the only two promising being Antonelli and Bearman. The Chinese GP began with an intense start lap, with the McLaren and the Mercedes fighting for the p2 and the p3, in the end, Oscar won the fight. In the intense streets and corners of the GP, it would be Fernando Alonso and Bortoleto to suffer fate. Alonso on lap 4 would retire with engine failure and Bortoleto's Kick Sauber would spin heavily onto the gravel and would miraculously keep it in the track. The race was however, full of nothing as the track and cars were linear and nothing much would happen, apart from a few fights for positions, that would become unimportant later. The leaderboard would however see many teams into the top 3 and top 5, including Williams, Aston and even, the seemingly improved 2025 Haas. Of all the rookies, Bearman and Kimi would shine the most, as Antonelli would finish p8 and Bearman would clinch a point in the underdog Haas. While the others would struggle heavily and Liam Lawson is still an uncertain pick to replace Sergio. The winners were Oscar, Lando and Russell. A race that provides some info on the cars and drivers... but that in the end, under-delivered. Next up, Japan.
Episode 3
As the daring, dangerous, potent and fulfilling track of Japan roars it's floor, it's gravel, it's structure and most importantly, the engines of the respective cars roar in a race to the death, the new edition of Japan begins. And, of all of them, this one was chaotic to the core. With chaos, crashes and insanity on almost every session. Including four red flags in Practice 2, and a nailbitting quali, the race proved to test the viewers skill... or so it seemed. As the race came, everyone was fighting to the core, trying to make ground and face the track ahead, but, the daring corners, speed and risk sections made everything impossible, with only Sainz in his Atlassian getting some cool overtakes. Then, it was a battle with the Red Bull and the McLaren. As Max tries to break the record of Schumacher's Japan wins, there are two speedy and not to be messed with McLarens behind him and with a Red Bull that drives like a pig, it is a test to face the odds. And, in Max fashion, he would do it. Cheers roar, the Oracle Red Bull garage roars and Max, breathes victory once again, in a Japanese GP that once again... under delivers. With the rookies getting better, and the new Red Bull grid, with Tsunoda making some ground in p12, and Lawson still having to find his confidence back... how will things shape?
Episode 4
Desert, bumps, power, and determination, the motto of the Bahrain GP and it's literal sense of the difficult track. Where history has been made, battles have been formed, and where the true tales come together. The weekend began with every single car on the grid struggling, wheels bumping, grip being lost along the way and a hassle of skill. With Fernando Alonso even suffering a Steering Wheel issue in FP2. But as quali came, the track proved itself once again. Though Q1 was normal, Q2 proved the metal to the pedal, with Esteban Ocon crashing out heavily, breaking his Haas in a million pieces and half the cars barely making the cut. Q3 ended with Piastri being the poleman, Russel in second and Leclerc in Third. With Lando having fluked a p6. As the race came underway, Lando would be penalized for a late, incorrect and illegal start, though to a beautiful recovery. The high power cars were Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren. In a twist turn of events, it'd be Red Bull to struggle the most, with their pitstops being slow, broken and their stop and go lights malfunctioning, with Max even having a moment in P20. However, as the race went on, ground formed up and Haas, Red Bull and the Williams manage to cover the high field. But... not for long. As Sainz was about to score his first chunk of points, he'd suffer a crash with Tsunoda and his car's right end would be totaled to shreds, forcing him to DNF, short of lap 50. The winners of this chaotic GP were the two Mclarens, and the Mercedes of Russell that will however face an investigation post race, due to a DNS infringement. Other winners were the Ferraris, the Red Bulls and the underdog Haas team getting points once again. Another chapter closed for Bahrain, but what does Saudi Arabia have to offer next?

Germany, Netherlands, the home of orange, home of the fury and home to the one and only Max Verstappen. But not just that, home to one of the most grueling weekends in the sport's history. With history having recorded it's biggest crashes yet, and not limited to, intense races. The 2025 edition of the Grand Prix began just as it had planned, with Friday already being one of the most chaotic Friday's of the season. Crashes, red flags, shocks, and multiple surprises, gave home to what was a surprising start. Qualifying on the other hand, would do more than justice. As Lance Stroll was beginning to show progress in the seemingly improved Aston, an early crash made his back wing break, ending his quali before it could even begin. The Haas was uncompetitive, Red Bull proved sluggish, and McLaren were just as competitive as they were all season. However, no one would be able to predict the spectacle the race would bring. As the race begins in a dry, unsunny weather, Max, was determined to win again at home, but the sudden outcome of a near ending lap 1 crash turned to bite him, causing him to lose momentum. The race then provided itself a slow start, with none of the cars being able to make movement. As it went on however, crashes, and unexpected surprises occurred. As Lance and Bortoleto tried to overtake, both would lose bits of their car, causing debris over the track, ruining Bortoleto's entire race. Then, in what becomes a sequel to never ending pain, Hamilton's spins on the curve of the spinning roundabout and ends his race, after having done a good job in quali, proving there was a lot to be done. Though Ferrari wouldn't have excuses to make, as the pace was non-existent all weekend,and at the last few laps, Charles would end his own race, gathering the rare combo of a double DNF for the Scuderia. As Sainz and Lawson were also fighting for points, both him and Lawson would crash into each other, forcing themselves to be stuck at the back. To Sainz's displeasure, it'd be him to be fined a penalty of 10 seconds, demanding a convo with the stewards, to fuel his anger. Then, as the final laps came by, in what seemed like another McLaren double podium, Lando's engine would lose oil, ending his race in the brink of a good return. To what would be a displeasure for him, it'd not be a displeasure from Hadjar, whom had kept his p4 starting position flawlessly and had been able to get third place at the last few moments. The final lap came, the checkered flag waved, and Piastri was crowned winner in Max's turf, and Hadjar became the second french driver to score a podium for the Italian Junior RB team, after Pierre Gasly at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. A result that gave midfield cars, a good chunk of points, including Bearman's best finish of 6th. An edition that left begging, but that in the end, gave what everyone wanted. Next stop, Monza.
