F1 drivers 2025: Teams and full driver line-ups for upcoming season

All you need to know about the teams and drivers in 2025.

Frenchman Pierre Gasly is joined by a new team-mate in 2025 – Australian driver Jack Doohan.

Alpine handed Doohan an early debut at last year’s final race in Abu Dhabi, while Gasly will be starting his third season with the French team.

Things stay the same at Aston Martin.

Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who turns 44 in July, is partnered once again by Canadian Lance Stroll, son of team owner Lawrence.

The 2025 season brings one of the most exciting driver moves Formula 1 has ever seen – Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari.

Hamilton, who celebrated his 40th birthday on 7 January, left Mercedes after winning six of his seven titles with the Silver Arrows and will now form what will likely be the strongest pairing on the grid with Charles Leclerc.

Haas are starting fresh in 2025, pairing Frenchman Esteban Ocon with 19-year-old Oliver Bearman.

Ocon makes the switch to the American-based team after four seasons with Alpine.

Briton Bearman, meanwhile, caught the eye last season following stand-in appearances for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari and Kevin Magnussen at Haas.

McLaren, who are heading in to the new campaign as constructors’ champions for the first time in 26 years, stick with the same line-up of Briton Lando Norris and Australian Oscar Piastri for the third season running.

With Lewis Hamilton gone, George Russell now becomes the senior driver at Mercedes, this year teaming up with rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

Italian Antonelli, 18, spent just one season in Formula 2 and has been a Mercedes protege since he was 11.

Max Verstappen started this season with Liam Lawson as his team-mate but Red Bull decided to end that partnership after just two races following difficult weekends for the latter.

Consequently, Yuki Tsunoda stepped up from their second team, now being referred to as Racing Bulls.

Having been in F1 since 2021, Red Bull felt the Japanese driver’s experience would help to improve the RB21.

Following his demotion, Lawson is racing this season for Racing Bulls, having driven in 11 grands prix for the team in 2023 and 2024 when they were known as Alpha Tauri and then RB.

Joining the New Zealander is newcomer Isack Hadjar, 20, who was runner-up in last year’s Formula 2 championship.

There is a mix of the old and the new at Sauber, in their final year before becoming the Audi team.

German veteran Nico Hulkenberg, who made his F1 debut in 2010, will be driving alongside 20-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, who pipped Isack Hadjar to the Formula 2 title in 2024.

Carlos Sainz begins the next chapter of his Formula 1 career in 2025 at Williams, following Lewis Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari.

While the prospect of securing podium places may be limited, Sainz and new team-mate Alex Albon – starting his fourth year with the team – make an exciting partnership for Williams.
