After twelve seasons with Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari in place of Carlos Sainz Jr. [10] [29] This will end Hamilton's record-breaking streak of most consecutive seasons driving for a single constructor, as well as his first season driving a car without a Mercedes power unit. [30]
Nico Hülkenberg will depart Haas after two seasons and return to Sauber, with whom he last drove in 2013. [31]
The 2025 calendar will feature the same twenty-four Grands Prix as the previous season, [32] with six of them to use the sprint format. [33]
The Australian Grand Prix will host the inaugural race of the 2025 season for the first time since 2019 in place of the previous Bahrain Grand Prix opening venue, which is scheduled to be shifted ahead to accommodate Ramadan. [34] [35] The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2025 calendar. [36] However, the contract was terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [37]
But it's now been confirmed that the 36-year-old will depart the American squad – and make his way to Sauber – at the end of the campaign.
