Excitement is building in Melbourne for the 2025 Formula 1 season-opening Australian Grand Prix this weekend.
So, Autosport’s Filip Cleeren and Emily Selleck are live from Albert Park’s Melbourne Walk to round-up the first media day of the forthcoming campaign.
Plenty of topics arise, with particular focus on the hometown heroes of Jack Doohan and Oscar Piastri. Fil and Emily discuss how …Keep reading

For Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, it’s personal promoting Andrea Kimi Antonelli to a Formula 1 race seat with the Silver Arrows squad at just 18.
Wolff is viewing Antonelli’s sensational rise through the junior formulas as the chance to put right what went wrong in Mercedes missing out on Max Verstappen’s services back in 2014.
Autosport understands that the Austrian even feels that, had …Keep reading

“Adapt or die” is a popular maxim in the business world – but, to paraphrase the famous words of Mandy Rice-Davies: they would say that, wouldn’t they? Change is inherently self-justifying, especially when one business is buying another and swaggering egos are in play.
Many are those in management, particularly the c-suite, who like to cite wisdoms from Sun Tzu’s Art of War (largely …Keep reading

“I’m just excited to have another crack at it,” is Lando Norris’ approach to the 2025 Formula 1 drivers’ championship on the eve of the opening round in Melbourne.
If the McLaren driver is at all chastened by last season’s ultimately forlorn attempt to topple Max Verstappen, he is not letting it show ahead of the new campaign.
Norris ran Verstappen closer than anybody in 2024 but …Keep reading

As he appeared in the pre-event press conference for this weekend’s 2025 opener in Melbourne, Verstappen extended a run going back three events to the F175 Live season launch in London, which moved across the …Keep reading

It seems strange to suggest, after winning six world championships and some 84 grand prix with Mercedes, that Lewis Hamilton needed a new lease of life in Formula 1 – but that is exactly what he has enjoyed since moving to Ferrari.
The news of his switch to Italy was announced over a year ago but now he has swapped his silver arrow for a prancing horse, there is a renewed vigour to Hamilton …Keep reading

In issuing a classy response to Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko branding him as only a “B” calibre driver, Sauber rookie Gabriel Bortoleto has continued his strong start to life in the Formula 1 media spotlight glare.
Two weeks ago in the Bahrain test, Bortoleto was frank but angst-less in discussing how restrictions on F1’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) rule – cut to 1,000km …Keep reading

A home Formula 1 race is both blessing and curse for any driver – no matter what PR guff they spout about finding extra performance on familiar circuits. But for Alpine driver Jack Doohan, there is slightly more going in Melbourne this weekend.
First up, he’s the final driver in our rookie series to technically not fulfil that criteria – given his outing in last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand …Keep reading

An effervescent Pierre Gasly believes that Alpine is operating at “the best” he has seen since joining the Anglo-French outfit in 2023, marking a considerable sea change in the team’s fortunes compared to its flat-footed start to last season.
It was only 12 months ago that Alpine began a campaign with an overweight car that could barely break out of the opening stage of qualifying, having …Keep reading
