With the 2025 Formula 1 season now just around the corner, this month, we have the launch of all ten cars on the grid to look forward to.

There is so much to look out for, too. Will McLaren be able to keep up their strong form and provide Lando Norris with the car to challenge Max Verstappen? Can Verstappen make it five championships in a row? Will anyone else be in contention for the title this time around?

Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to be one of those drivers as he chases a first world championship 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 young sensation Kimi Antonelli behind the wheel.

Of course, there are also the rest of the teams to consider, too, with the chance that one team make a shock leap forward over the winter.
