One of the tightest races on the track in recent memory could occur in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Having won races this year, McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes will all be feeling confident about their chances after years of convergence under the current rules.
With Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri committed to long-term contracts at the current title leaders McLaren, only one of those teams will undoubtedly field the same driver lineup in 2025.
Technically, Red Bull also has two drivers under contract, but Sergio Perez is facing a lot of pressure after his poor performance this year.
With Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari will contend they have the best lineup on the grid, so they are living the dream.

In Hamilton’s place, Mercedes has promoted the young driver Kimi Antonelli, who will team up with George Russell as he approaches the last year of his contract.
On the Formula For Success Podcast, David Coulthard talked about his excitement for the next season and the future of Ferrari’s lineup.
Because of Leclerc’s extended tenure with the team and Hamilton’s seven world championships, there will not be a driver in the Ferrari hierarchy who is ranked #1.
But Coulthard has made his prediction about who he believes will win what might be one of the most hotly contested intra-team fights in Formula One history.
