F1 2025 Grid: Confirmed Driver Lineups For All 10 Teams
The 2025 Formula 1 driver lineup is complete, with Red Bull Racing confirming Isack Hadjar as the replacement for Liam Lawson. Following a thrilling 2024 season featuring seven different drivers winning multiple races, the anticipation for the upcoming season is high.
The year began with a major shift when Lewis Hamilton announced he would leave Mercedes to join Ferrari in 2025. This announcement shook up the driver market, especially after Sergio Perez and Red Bull mutually agreed to part ways, despite two years left on Perez’s contract.
With Hadjar now confirmed, the 2025 season will feature six rookies. Here’s a summary of the driver lineups for all ten teams:
Mercedes
George Russell and Lewis Hamilton are signed through 2025. Hamilton’s move to Ferrari opened the door for teenage star Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who will partner with Russell.
Ferrari
Hamilton joins Charles Leclerc, aiming to end Ferrari’s 16-year championship drought after narrowly missing the 2024 constructors’ title.
Red Bull
Max Verstappen, the reigning champion, continues with Red Bull until 2028. Lawson, with just 11 races under his belt, will partner with Verstappen to chase the constructors’ title.
McLaren
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are locked in through 2026. McLaren hopes to build on their recent success after winning the constructors’ championship in 2024.
Aston Martin
Lance Stroll has a new deal, and Fernando Alonso extends his contract through 2026, possibly signaling his retirement afterward.
Alpine
Jack Doohan will debut alongside Pierre Gasly after Esteban Ocon’s early exit, both under multi-year contracts.
Racing Bulls (RB)
Yuki Tsunoda remains with RB, joined by Hadjar, who steps up from Formula 2 after a strong season.
Haas
Haas introduces a new lineup with Ocon and young driver Oliver Bearman for 2025 and 2026.
Williams
Carlos Sainz signs a two-year deal with Williams after Hamilton’s departure, while Alex Albon commits long-term.
Sauber
Sauber opts for a fresh start, signing Nico Hulkenberg and F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto as they prepare for future changes.
With six rookies—Antonelli, Doohan, Bearman, Lawson, Bortoleto, and Hadjar—set to debut, the 2025 season promises to be one of the most exciting yet.
