In the weeks before the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, back in October of 2023, McLaren CEO Zak Brown looked me square in the eye and made a straightforward declaration about the team’s driver pairing of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

McLaren star Oscar Piastri has opened up on the prospect of severe weather disrupting the upcoming Australian Grand Prix. The 2025 Formula 1 campaign gets under way in Melbourne this weekend, where Max Verstappen will begin his bid to win a fifth consecutive world drivers' title.

Lewis Hamilton announced himself on the scene with a debut podium in Melbourne 18 years ago, and the man who has replaced him at Mercedes, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, can make an impression on his F1 bow on Sunday.

Back as the opening round with two Aussies on the grid, Lewis Hamilton making his Ferrari debut and world champion Max Verstappen saying his car is too slow to win, this weekend’s Australian GP opens a salivating 2025 F1 season.

Australian ace Oscar Piastri has landed a multi-year deal with McLaren ahead of F1's season opener, and his home race, in Melbourne.

Lewis Hamilton has suggested he feels he receives more criticism compared to other F1 drivers as he prepares for Sunday's Australian Grand Prix. The 40-year-old will be hoping to secure glory at the first attempt following his move from Mercedes to Ferrari.
