Australian F1® Grand Prix At Albert Park Circuit

The 2025 Formula 1® season will commence with the highly anticipated Australian Grand Prix on March 16 at Melbourne's Albert Park Circuit. This event, traditionally known for its unpredictable weather and challenging track conditions, marks the return of the season opener to Australia after a brief hiatus. It introduces significant changes, notably Lewis Hamilton's move to Scuderia Ferrari, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari Debut

After a record-breaking 12-year tenure with Formula 1® Mercedes, seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton has transitioned to Ferrari, aiming to secure a record-breaking eighth title.

Despite a minor technical setback during testing, where the SF-25 experienced a power unit issue, Hamilton remains focused on refining the car's performance ahead of Melbourne. He acknowledged the need for continuous improvement, stating, "We've got some work to do to improve."

Ferrari's Aspirations

Ferrari enters the season with heightened expectations, especially with Hamilton joining forces with Charles Leclerc. The team aims to end a title drought that has persisted since 2008. Pre-season insights suggest that the SF-25 has shown competitive pace, with some insiders hinting that Ferrari might start the season "from pole position," potentially surpassing rivals like McLaren. ​

Hamilton's Perspective on Rivals

Hamilton remains cautious about reading too much into pre-season testing results, particularly concerning competitors like McLaren and Red Bull. He commented on these teams' impressive runs, with McLaren showing consistent pace and Red Bull demonstrating strong reliability, but he emphasised the importance of focusing on Ferrari's progress, taking external performances "with a pinch of salt."

Anticipation for Melbourne

The Australian Grand Prix promises to be a thrilling curtain-raiser, with fans eager to witness Hamilton's debut in Ferrari red and assess the team's competitiveness against formidable opponents. The dynamic between Hamilton and Leclerc will be under the microscope as they collaborate to restore Ferrari's dominance in the sport.​

As the lights go out at Albert Park, the world will be watching to see if Hamilton's bold move to Ferrari pays off and whether the team can reclaim its place at the pinnacle of Formula 1®.
