2025 F1 Schedule & Overview so Far
So far, McLaren-Mercedes has been the standout team, comfortably ahead of their nearest competitors. Mercedes currently sits in 2nd place, ahead of the 3rd-place Red Bull Racing. Meanwhile, the Driver’s Championship is a 3-way race between Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen. Pastri is currently in the lead, with wins in China, Bahrain, and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia. Lando Norris won the season opener in Albert Park, Australia, while Verstappen won the Japanese Grand Prix.
With 5 races completed, there are still another 19 to go, and anything could happen over the remaining race weekends.
F1 2025 Race Predictions
2-4 May - Miami Grand Prix
The odds for the winner of the Miami Grand Prix are currently even between Piastri and Norris. Last season, Norris won the race, despite Max Verstappen starting from pole position. However, Piastri recorded the fastest lap. The Miami Grand Prix takes place at the Miami International Autodrome. It features several elevation changes as well as 3 DRS zones. The balanced circuit favors a variety of strategies and driving styles.
16-18 May - Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Max Verstappen has won the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix every year since 2021, with Lewis Hamilton being the last driver to win before that in 2020. However, the race was cancelled in 2023 due to flooding. In 2024, Norris and Leclerc completed the podium. This season, Piastri and Norris will be looking to break the dominance of Verstappen. The circuit is particularly known for fast, challenging corners, so being able to corner effectively is essential.
23-25 May - Monaco Grand Prix
Monaco is one of the most famous circuits on the F1 calendar thanks to its impressive elevation changes and tight corners. The race was won by Charles Leclerc for Ferrari last season, while Piastri came 2nd and Carlos Sainz Jr. came 3rd. The tight corners and low speeds of the Monaco circuit mean that car downforce is incredibly important, and teams must use an effective tire management strategy too. McLaren-Mercedes has the most effective team right now, so most predict that either Piastri or Norris will win the race.
30-1 May-June - Spanish Grand Prix
Max Verstappen has won the last 3 Spanish Grand Prix, although Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher hold the record of most wins at 6. Last season, Norris and Hamilton finished in 2nd and 3rd place behind Verstappen, and the McLaren-Mercedes team is expected to be in the running once again in 2025. Ferrari has the most wins on this circuit. Can Lewis Hamilton take the record while racing for Ferrari? Effective cornering is a must here, as is a competent tyre management strategy.
13-15 June - Canadian Grand Prix
Since 2022, the Canadian Grand Prix has been held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The circuit favors a balanced car setup, with a mix of straights and chicanes. Low-speed cornering and good braking are also essential, especially with the hairpin turn. Verstappen has won here since 2022, and last season, Norris and George Russell came in 2nd and 3rd place. In 2025, most will expect one of the McLaren-Mercedes team to break Verstappen’s dominance, but he can’t be counted out.
27-29 June - Austrian Grand Prix
The Red Bull Ring hosts the Austrian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen holding the record for the most wins at 4. Despite finishing in pole position last season, the Dutch driver came in 5th place. George Russell won the race, with Piastri and Sainz Jr. coming in 2nd and 3rd place. Since 2019, there have been 4 different winners of this race. The circuit features a mix of high and low speed corners, and cars with effective DRS are going to have an advantage.
Who Will Win the Drivers’ Championship?
Right now, Piastri is the betting favourite to win the 2025 F1 Driver’s Championship. The 24-year-old Australian has never won the Championship before but has 5 Grand Prix wins over 3 seasons, including 3 this season already, and finished 4th overall in 2024.
The second favourite is Piastri’s teammate, Lando Norris. He’s an outside betting option based on the current sports betting odds, but Norris did finish in 2nd place last season. Currently, he’s 10 points behind his teammate in the race for the Driver’s Championship.
Meanwhile, last season’s champion, Max Verstappen, is the 3rd favorite to win the Championship in 2025. The defending champion has won an impressive 4 titles in a row, but he’ll have his work cut out for him this season if he wants to equal Schumacher’s record of 5 successive Championships.
Who Will Win the Constructors’ Championship?
With strong performances from Piastri and Norris, McLaren is the heavy favorite to win the Constructors' Championship in 2025. Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull Racing have too many issues to compete seriously, although it’s possible for their fortunes to change during the season.
Who is Favoured to Win F1 2025?
Currently, the odds have Piastri as the favorite to win the 2025 F1 season. He’s ahead of his teammate in the rankings, although Norris has experience on his side.
