The 2025 Formula 1 season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, marking its return to the top of the calendar for the first time in six years. This historic race, which has traditionally served as the season opener for 22 of the last 24 years, was last displaced in 2021 when the event was shifted to Bahrain.
Australian GP and significance
For Lewis Hamilton, the Australian GP holds special significance. As a driver with a remarkable six championships in seven seasons, Hamilton has never started a title winning year without a trip to Melbourne. His 2021 title defense fell short, but with his move to Ferrari in 2025, Hamilton will hope the return to Albert Park is a positive omen for his new chapter in Formula 1, even though the race was unfortunately cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID19 pandemic.
Next Races
The 2025 season also coincides with Ramadan, so after the preseason tests in Bahrain, the F1 teams will head to Australia, followed by a stretch of races in Asia, starting in China and then Japan. This sequence forms the first leg of a tough tripleheader that culminates with back-to-back races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, bringing the total to five races in just over a month.
Following this intense start, the Miami Grand Prix, scheduled for May 4, promises to be another crucial weekend, often marking the arrival of the first major updates to the teams' cars.
The European leg of the season begins in midMay with Imola, followed by Monaco — where, in 2025, the Grand Prix will be held earlier in May to avoid a clash with the Indianapolis 500, which traditionally takes place on the same weekend. Starting in Spain and ending in Canada, this phase of the season will feature some of the most iconic and challenging tracks, including Silverstone on July 6, when the British Grand Prix takes place.
The summer break will come after Hungary on August 3, extending until the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of the month. The season’s final stretch mirrors 2024's calendar, with races in Baku and Singapore before the series heads to the Americas. The United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Las Vegas Grand Prix will build up to the season finale in the Middle East, with races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi concluding the season in December.
