March is here, and with it comes the best time of the year, the start of the Formula 1 season. After four consecutive Driver Championship titles, Max Verstappen’s dominance looks to be in jeopardy. Lando Norris and McLaren head into the season opener as favorites to win the Driver and Constructor titles respectively.
Transfers were in abundance in the off-season with Lewis Hamilton, Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz Jr hogging the headlines. Hamilton leaves Mercedes for Maranello, while Sainz now drives for Williams. Liam Lawson takes over from Sergio Perez at Red Bull, partnering with the reigning Champion, Max Verstappen.

My First Bet: Early picks and predictions for F1 2025 Season
The name Lando Norris is everywhere you look in the pre-season build up after a strong finish at the end of 2024. McLaren’s top dog collected five podiums in his final 10 races last year, including a trip in victory lane at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
British team McLaren showed positive signs in the final part of last season, winning five races and starting on poll eight times. They looked the most consistent of the vehicles in testing, focusing their efforts on race simulation rather than pure speed.
Defending Driver Champion Max Verstappen starts the season as the second favorite for the title. Red Bull and “Mad Max” are still dealing with understeer challenges, and he’s not confident in his car for the early races of this campaign. Sportsbooks have Verstappen at +350 for the win.
With Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari, Charles Leclerc hasn’t received much of the headlines, but he’s a threat. The Monegasque driver finished third in the standings in 2024, finishing on the podium thirteen times and winning three races. Leclerc starts the season at +440 to go all the way.
The aftermath of the F1 Qatar Grand Prix is still reverberating through the racing world. Max Verstappen triumphed once more, deftly navigating through a race infused with pitstop pandemonium due to a three-stop strategy, instigated by tyre safety concerns. Oscar Piastri showcased his burgeoning talent, claiming the second spot while George Russell’s impressive recovery highlighted …
The Dutch Grand Prix saw Lando Norris storm to a stunning victory, besting home hero Max Verstappen by over 20 seconds to earn his second career Formula 1 win. The McLaren star’s emphatic performance sent shockwaves through the F1 world and breathed new life into the championship battle. Now, as the teams and drivers head …

Imola ended an incredible run of three consecutive victories for Oscar Piastri, who settled for the final spot on the podium, behind Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
