The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula One cars set to be the 76th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship is set to be contested over twenty-four Grands Prix held around the world. It is scheduled to begin in March and end in December.

The 2025 season is planned to be the last year to utilise the power unit configuration introduced in 2014. A revised configuration without MGU-H but with a higher power output from the MGU-K will be introduced for the 2026 championship.[1] Drivers and teams are scheduled to compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion respectively. This will also be the last year of the generation of cars introduced in 2022 and the last year of the drag reduction system (DRS) introduced as an overtaking aid in 2011 as cars with active aerodynamics and moveable wings are being introduced from 2026.[2]

Entries

The following constructors and drivers are under contract to compete in the 2025 World Championship. All teams are due to compete with tyres supplied by Pirelli.[3] Each team is required to enter at least two drivers, one for each of the two mandatory cars.[4]

Driver changes

Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes after twelve seasons to join Ferrari, ending his record-breaking streak of the most consecutive seasons driving for a single constructor, as well as competing in his first season without a Mercedes power unit.[41] He will replace Carlos Sainz Jr, who will leave after four seasons to join Williams on a multi-year deal in place of the departing Logan Sargeant, whose contract was terminated mid-way through the 2024 season and replaced by Franco Colapinto until the end of the year.[16][42][38][43]

Haas will field an all new line-up in 2025; Nico Hülkenberg will leave the team after two seasons to drive for Sauber, with whom he last competed in 2013.[44] He will be replaced by their reserve driver Oliver Bearman, who will step up from Formula 2, having previously raced in the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for Ferrari.[20] Kevin Magnussen will also depart the team after seven seasons across two stints.[45] He will be replaced by Esteban Ocon, who will depart Alpine after five seasons with Team Enstone.[46] Ocon will be replaced by their reserve driver Jack Doohan, who last competed in the 2023 Formula 2 Championship.[8]

Calendar

The 2025 calendar will feature the same twenty-four Grands Prix as the previous season.[47][48] The Chinese, Miami, Belgian, United States, São Paulo and Qatar Grands Prix will feature the sprint format.[49][50]

Calendar changes

The Australian Grand Prix will host the opening race of the 2025 season for the first time since 2019. The Australian Grand Prix was the third round in the past three seasons, after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, respectively, with those events being pushed back in 2025 to avoid a conflict with Ramadan.[51][52] The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2025 calendar.[53] However, the contract was terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[54]

Regulation changes

The minimum driver weight allowance will be increased from 80 kilograms (176.4 lb) to 82 kilograms (180.8 lb). As a consequence of this, the overall minimum weight limit of the car without fuel will increase from 798 kilograms (1,759 lb) to 800 kilograms (1,764 lb).[55]
