2025 Formula One World Championship

It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars.

[45] Haas is fielding an all new line-up in 2025; Nico Hülkenberg departed the team after two seasons to drive for Sauber, with whom he last competed in 2013.

[56] Despite a previously signed contract until 2026, Sergio Pérez left Red Bull Racing after the conclusion of the 2024 season.

[60][61] The Chinese, Miami, Belgian, United States, São Paulo and Qatar Grands Prix are set to feature the sprint format.

It was the third round in the past three seasons, after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, respectively, with those events being pushed back in 2025 to avoid a conflict with Ramadan.

The system will only be mandated by the FIA in extreme heat conditions, with the minimum weight of the cars increased correspondingly when applicable.

[73] There will no longer be a limit on the number of gearboxes used by teams, as the reliability of current designs renders this restriction obsolete.

[73] The point awarded to drivers finishing in the top ten positions for setting the fastest lap in the race, which was reintroduced in 2019, will be abolished.

This will see a twenty-day limit imposed on TPC, and drivers competing in the championship will only be allowed to cover a maximum of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) over four days of testing.

[77] The sporting regulations will include specifically prescribed provisions for how the starting grids for sprints and Grands Prix should be set in the event that qualifying for these sessions is cancelled.

Previously it was left solely to the discretion of the stewards to determine the starting grid order if a qualifying session could not take place.

If the Drivers' Championship standings cannot be applied to determine the starting grid order, it remains at the racing stewards discretion.

The issue had first come to light when Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said in an interview that he wanted to see less bad language in Formula One.

The same penalty scale is set to apply to any "moral injury or loss" to the "FIA, its bodies, its members or its executive officers" or its values.

[79] With the aim of promoting better racing, there will be an increase in the number of mandatory pit stops for the Monaco Grand Prix.
