Formula 1 returns this week with the 2025 Australian Grand Prix from the 14th – 16th March at
Albert Park. Inevitably the column inches and focus has been on Lewis Hamilton, following his move to Ferrari. Everyone from Damon Hill to Eddie Jordan and Jackie Stewart have had their say on the move. This weekend we get our first real gauge of how well Lewis Hamilton has settled in with his new team.
Following the race in Australia, the Formula One road show continues to China the following week 21 – 23 March. Then there’s a weeks break before the racing continues in Japan at Suzuka 04 – 06 April.
There’s as much interest in the relationship between Hamilton and team mate Charles Leclerc, as there is in Hamilton’s driving. The two were friends before Hamilton joined the team and the concensus is that Leclerc will get the better of Hamilton over the season. There is one noticeably dissenting voice to this theory and it’s from Red Bull. Supremo Helmut Marko feels that if Hamilton feels comfortable in his new car he can improve massively. Red Bull racing unlike some others clearly do not underestimate the seven times world champion.
