That's not going to be the case in 2025 with a huge amount of changes from top to bottom. Below is the complete 2025 F1 grid. ## McLaren ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1331065_HiRes--1-.jpg) **Lando Norris** **Oscar Piastri** McLaren was the first team to have its 2025 line-up locked in. F1's most recent first-time race winner Lando Norris is contracted at the team he's spent his entire top-level career with until [at least the end of 2026](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/lando-norris-mclaren-f1-contract-new-long-term-deal/), as is his [team-mate Oscar Piastri](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/piastri-mclaren-new-long-term-deal-2026/) \- who will be part of an unchanged line-up for a third year in a row in 2025. ## Ferrari ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1331222_HiRes.jpg) **Charles Leclerc** **Lewis Hamilton** Ferrari's audacious and successful move to [lure Lewis Hamilton](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/mercedes-lewis-hamilton-f1-exit-official/) away from Mercedes kicked the 2025 F1 driver market into gear before the 2024 campaign had even begun. Seven-time world champion Hamilton joins Charles Leclerc at the team, Leclerc having been announced on a deal covering ["several more seasons"](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/charles-leclerc-new-ferrari-contract/) in January. ## Red Bull ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1335121_HiRes.jpg) **Max Verstappen** **Yuki Tsunoda** Although it gave Sergio Perez a contract beyond 2025, the Mexican driver left the team in December. Ultimately his dip in performance likely cost Red Bull the constructors' title, and Perez his job. [Liam Lawson was confirmed](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/liam-lawson-gets-2025-red-bull-seat/) for a promotion from Racing Bulls - ahead of Yuki Tsunoda - after just 11 grand prix starts. But he was dropped after just two races for Tsunoda. Verstappen was already signed until 2028. ## Mercedes ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1333734_HiRes.jpg) **George Russell** **Kimi Antonelli** Hamilton's departure prompted Mercedes to put its faith in its teenage protege Kimi Antonelli, whose [long-anticipated 2025 deal](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/mercedes-kimi-antonelli-f1-2025-signing-our-verdict/) was announced at the Italian Grand Prix in September after months of private testing in older-spec cars. He'll line up alongside incumbent George Russell, whose [deal runs through 2025](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/hamilton-extends-mercedes-f1-stay-until-end-of-2025-season/). ## Aston Martin ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1332312_HiRes.jpg) **Fernando Alonso** **Lance Stroll** Aston Martin is one of three teams that will boast an F1 champion in its 2025 line-up, as 42-year-old Fernando Alonso ruled himself out of the silly season early by [committing his future](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/fernando-alonso-new-aston-martin-f1-contract-six-reasons-why/) to the team with which he scored eight podiums last season. At the end of June, Aston also confirmed a new deal for Lance Stroll that will keep him at the team through the first year of F1's next rules cycle in 2026. ## Alpine ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/05/XPB_1342339_HiRes.jpg) **Pierre Gasly** **Franco Colapinto** Alpine confirmed a ["new multi-year" deal for Gasly](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/pierre-gasly-alpine-new-f1-deal-sainz-doohan-bottas-schumacher/) \- that should extend beyond the end of 2025 - just before the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix. He started the year with Jack Doohan alongside him, but [Alpine dropped him in favour of Franco Colapinto after just six races. ](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/colapinto-replaces-doohan-at-alpine-but-faces-review-after-five-races/) ## Williams ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1330804_HiRes.jpg) **Alex Albon** **Carlos Sainz** Williams [tied down Alex Albon](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/alex-albon-new-long-term-williams-f1-contract/) to a new long-term contract as part of team principal James Vowles outlining his vision for the team's revival in the coming years. That vision has clearly impressed Carlos Sainz, who [eventually picked Williams](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/carlos-sainz-williams-f1-deal-two-years/) as his post-Ferrari destination. ## Racing Bulls ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1334643_HiRes.jpg) **Liam Lawson** **Isack Hadjar** Red Bull officially exercised its option to keep Yuki Tsunoda at Racing Bulls for 2025 ahead of the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix. With Lawson earning promotion to Red Bull Racing, Isack Hadjar has got the nod to make his F1 debut in 2025\. Though that line-up changed after the Chinese GP with Tsunoda earning promotion to Red Bull and Lawson returning to Racing Bulls to partner Hadjar. ## Sauber ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2025/04/XPB_1334788_HiRes.jpg) **Nico Hulkenberg** **Gabriel Bortoleto** Nico Hulkenberg's career revival at Haas has been impressive enough to catch the eye of Sauber and its CEO Andreas Seidl, with Hulkenberg the [first driver signed](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/nico-hulkenberg-first-audi-f1-driver-haas-exit/) for the transitional 2025 season ahead of the team's rebirth as the factory Audi team for 2026. The [identity of his team-mate is current F2 points leader Gabriel Bortoleto](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/valtteri-bottas-sauber-f1-2025-out-gabriel-bortoleto-in/), who beat Valtteri Bottas to the second seat after months of negotiations. ## Haas ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/dd/af/ddafbd99-2ccd-468c-b622-4b3cccf80b49/content/images/2024/07/XPB_1286132_HiRes.jpg) **Ollie Bearman** **Esteban Ocon** Hulkenberg's exit left Haas with two vacancies for 2025 as his team-mate Kevin Magnussen is also out of contract at the end of the year. But it announced on the eve of the British GP weekend that Ferrari protege [Ollie Bearman](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/who-is-oliver-ollie-bearman-ferrari-f1-debutant/), who starred when standing in for Sainz at the Scuderia back at the second round of the season, [will make his F1 graduation in 2025](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/haas-signs-ollie-bearman-f1-2025-terrible-f2-season-disregarded/) despite a fairly ordinary F2 season so far with Prema. He will have [six FP1 outings with Haas](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/ferrari-protege-ollie-bearman-haas-role-f1-2024/) this year. Haas then confirmed prior to the Hungarian GP that Magnussen would not be retained, meaning a relationship spanning two multi-year stints - and close to 150 grands prix come its conclusion - will end later this year. One week later it confirmed [Ocon will replace him on a multi-year deal](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/haas-signs-esteban-ocon-multi-year-f1-deal-explained/) with the team.
