The upcoming 2025 Formula 1 season presents several exciting possibilities and desired outcomes. Here's what would make for a compelling championship year:

A Competitive Title Fight

The sport needs at least two teams fighting for wins from the start. This would prevent any single team from building an insurmountable lead early in the season and keep the championship battle engaging throughout the year.

Hamilton at Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari marks a historic partnership that could reignite his championship ambitions. With Ferrari showing strong pace in late 2024, the potential for Hamilton to challenge for an eighth world title adds an exciting narrative to the season.

Young Talent Development

Liam Lawson's promotion to Red Bull's second seat presents an opportunity to prove himself at the top level. His aggressive driving style could bring excitement to the grid if given a competitive car.

Strategic Improvements

The Las Vegas Grand Prix needs an earlier start time to better accommodate fans, teams, and viewers across different time zones, especially considering it's part of a demanding triple-header with Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

Team Developments

  • Williams' project with Carlos Sainz deserves at least one standout result to validate their long-term vision
  • Alpine's continued evolution bears watching, particularly after their impressive recovery to P6 in 2024
  • General Motors' potential entry needs swift approval to ensure proper preparation for 2026

Driver Dynamics

George Russell's outspoken nature and rivalry with Max Verstappen adds an interesting dimension to the sport, particularly if Mercedes can provide a more competitive car to challenge Red Bull.
