2025 F1 Season
Lando Norris · McLaren · 8 wins from 24 races
Key Rule Change: Final year of current technical regulations before 2026 overhaul.
Season Overview
The 2025 Formula 1 season saw McLaren complete a historic double — winning both the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships for the first time since 1998. Lando Norris, driving the MCL39, claimed his maiden World Championship, fulfilling the enormous potential he had shown throughout his career. Oscar Piastri finished third in the championship, giving McLaren a dominant one-three in the standings. The season was notable for Lewis Hamilton's debut at Ferrari — a move that generated enormous media attention. Hamilton and Charles Leclerc formed a formidable partnership, with Ferrari winning multiple races. Max Verstappen and Red Bull remained competitive but could not match McLaren's pace and consistency. The 2025 season also marked the final year of the current technical regulations before the major 2026 overhaul, which will introduce new power unit regulations and a significant aerodynamic reset.
