The king is dead, long live the king.
With the 2024 season done and dusted and lots of chatter now about drivers and how they will perform for the 2025 season, thought it would be no harm to start a 2025 season thread.
Go!
Wasn't there rumours he has a 5 race stint to prove his worth? And his first race has already happened...
Doohan is effectively gone already which is a shame, no way Alpine paid Williams a bag for Collapinto to have him sitting in the back of the garage, unfortunate situation for the lad, great motivation for him but in midfield machinery he’s chances of impressing are slim at best.
The FIA have introduced 'additional mandatory pit stops ' at Monaco to improve the racing......
Gimmick yes ,but will it entice the casual viewer ?, probably
Will the casual viewer care about pit stops or know the significance they have on strategy?
this is incredible.
do you have a link to this?
I suppose it is the best way to change position in Monaco, what is it, about 19 or 20 seconds loss, per pit stop?
It might just work too. That is about the only exciting bit of the racing in Monaco now that the cars are too big to race proparly together there.
Who's going to be watching the launch? Sky f1's YouTube is showing it here:

How does that mandatory two stop impact tyre allocation for the weekend?
Yep I’m watching and as I predicted, cringe fest and it’s only started. Some bloke with nail polish singing something or other.
Good they have Jack Whitehall for this, so far so good
Is there any other Vowels in the room?
Ok that was better, Whitehall fairly funny. 😁
Stake are dragging the arse out of this reveal
Jesus this is drawn out…
Lime 'n' Blackcurrant flavoured Sauber.
That was Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox's husband.
anyway. lets keep going.
Ariana Bravo , lawrence Barretto, and Lauren Winter on now.
Will we get to vote for our favorite like Eurovision?
The comedy helps
LeClerc is in a suit beside Whitehall. This isn’t going to be over any time soon.
Stake livery is what I imagine a custom team template would be in the F1 game.
Anyone know how much the tickets were, for this?
We'll be here all night before we see all the liveries
The classic clips are great. The Williams a bit more blue than last year but maybe they will strip some of the paint off again to make it lighter for the races
the white with Honda badge looks pretty good, better than last year
I like the VCARB livery, the mostly white looks great imo.
It would remind you of the white RedBull from 2021
Put some kilometers on it....
VCARB best looking so far.
Anyone notice Norris wearing an overcoat the exact same way Lewis did when he arrived at Ferrari?
Just tuned in fir the end of the Williams reveal. Dame it forgot about it.
How many more to go?
Alpine must be next.
Teams must have gotten their weight issues sorted. A much whiter Haas to go along with the white VCARB.
