Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing)
Reigning four-time world champion (2021-2024), Verstappen remains the benchmark. His dominant 2024 season (9 wins) and ability to extract results from a challenging RB20 showcase his skill. Early 2025 signs suggest he’s still the driver to beat, despite Red Bull’s constructors’ title slip last year.Lando Norris (McLaren)
Runner-up in 2024 with four wins, Norris has emerged as a serious contender. His role in McLaren’s 2024 constructors’ title win and strong early 2025 pace (e.g., pole in Australia) signal he’s ready to challenge Verstappen consistently.Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
Third in 2024, Leclerc’s speed and consistency keep him among the elite. Paired with Hamilton at Ferrari in 2025, his early season performance will be critical, though a disqualification in China (March 23) hints at challenges ahead.Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
The 18-year-old rookie steps into Hamilton’s Mercedes seat after a rapid rise from F2. Early buzz and Toto Wolff’s faith suggest he’s a future star, though his inexperience may temper immediate results.Pierre Gasly (Alpine)
Gasly’s late 2024 surge (seventh in the drivers’ poll) and Alpine’s upward trajectory make him a standout. His leadership in 2025 could yield consistent points.Rookies and Movers:
Antonelli, Oliver Bearman (Haas), and others like Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber) are unproven at this stage but have potential. Bearman, for instance, impressed in 2024 cameos.Its going to be an exciting season, especially with the rain hit Australia GP proving to be a great equaliser.
