The Formula 1 circus will soon be back on the road for another campaign that will stretch across a huge 24 rounds - but first we get those exciting car launches as the 2025 season draws ever closer.

Max Verstappen may be targeting a fifth world championship in a row at Red Bull, but a rocky 2024 season has opened up the possibility of him being attacked by rivals on multiple fronts - especially given Red Bull's dip in form that saw them only finish third in the constructors' championship last term.

Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to be one of those drivers as he chases a first world title since 2020, in what will be his first season at Ferrari after his stunning winter move from Mercedes. The Silver Arrows meanwhile will push ahead with Hamilton's compatriot George Russell and new star talent Kimi Antonelli behind the wheel.

Charles Leclerc will partner Hamilton at Ferrari and then there is the threat of McLaren who having won the constructors' championship will target a drivers' crown with now proven grands prix winners Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

All the drivers will need a car though and fans will be anticipating any new radical changes or vibrant livery reveals to the the 2025 cars as part of the excitement in the build up to the season.
