Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025Formula 1

For the first time since 202019, Formula 1 heads to Melbourne for the opening round of the season. The Albert Park circuit, reprofiled in 2022, has produced plenty of memorable moments and chaotic season openers since it joined the calendar in 1996 at an event which rightfully feels like a festival for Australian Motorsport. Four DRS zones, close walls and high-speed sections make this a real challenge, especially on a grid with many rookies, drivers all at new teams and a pecking order nobody really knows. Who will come out on top at the AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX!

For the first time since 202019, Formula 1 heads to Melbourne for the opening round of the season​

Technically they did head to it in 2020 as well. They just never raced.

The early weather forecast is looking fun - a roasting 37C on Saturday and then a chance of some showers towards the end of the race on Sunday.

Red Bull and Max doing some major sandbagging, I expect them to be upfront as usual. It does seem like McLaren may have actually brought a competitive car to begin the season. Go Oscar!

I'm quite excited for this one !
For the first time ever I'll be supporting Red Bull (well just Lawson really) but still words I never thought I'd ever say.
I have no idea what'll happen, but if I get McLaren and Lawson on the podium it would be a dream start for my favorites.

After missing out on tickets last year, I will be in attendance this time round so I'm very excited. I just hope that there isn't any torrential rain but knowing Melbourne at this time of year, we could get anything and everything in one day. If Piastri wins, it will bring the house down. However I will be supporting Atlassian Williams Racing and Carlos Sainz because Atlassian is an Australian IT firm and Carlos Sainz is my favourite driver, mainly due to his maturity and strong will. We know what he's capable of and if Williams can give him a half decent car, he will be in the points more often then not. I will also keep a keen eye on Liam Lawson as he's a New Zealander who I believe has the talent and the mental capacity to make a serious impact. It's going to be a spicy season.

I‘m definitely excited for the race, especially because it‘s the first time we see the new cars in action. I‘m assuming McLaren and Red Bull will both have strong cars from the start of the season this time.

I‘m also looking forward to seeing how Hamilton‘s first race for Ferrari will go!
