The Australian Grand Prix weekend offered a complete look of what’s Red Bull real performance across every condition on a specific track like Albert Park. The RB21, despite being ‘much calmer’ than the RB20, as defined by Horner, still lacks speed compared to McLaren and it’s also very difficult for engineers to find the right setup that makes the car enter its operating window. Let’s try to understand why.
Toto Wolff thinks that Mercedes should be achieving more in the early stages of the 2025 Formula 1 season, saying that the W16 is “not doing enough at the moment”.
For forty years, the Australian Grand Prix has been a fixture on the Formula 1 calendar. Held in Adelaide in the early years, the F1 race has taken place at Albert Park in Melbourne since 1996. Many times before, the Australian GP acted as the season opener and this year the venue regained that role. One thing is clear: the crazy 2025 race will not soon be forgotten.
Lando Norris has issued a warning to the rest of the Formula 1 grid, telling teams and drivers that McLaren will “have tracks where we are even better”, coming after the Brit took a superb victory at the Australian Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri admits that he “tried to push too much” during the Australian Grand Prix, resulting in him going off track and beaching his car on the grass, dropping him from P2 all the way to P9 and squandering a McLaren 1-2.
The first round of the championship will be a wet weather race, that will see the drivers complete 58 laps around the semi-permanent circuit of Albert Park: it’s the Australian Grand Prix
With a one hundred percent chance of rain, a dry Sunday in Melbourne was ruled out from the start. At the crack of dawn, monsoon-like conditions were already unfolding, and the rain continued throughout the morning. As a result, the FIA decided to shorten the first races of the day, the Formula 3 race and the Supercars race, and to postpone the start of the Formula 2 race. But what does this mean for the Grand Prix?
Lando Norris has said that there have “been discussions” and that “there are clearly rules” when it comes to team orders at McLaren for 2025. Both he and teammate Oscar Piastri locked out the front row in qualifying at the Australian Grand Prix, and that will result in some close fighting from the pair of them when the lights go out on Sunday.
Initial weather forecasts for the Australian Grand Prix indicated a lot of rain during the race. As a result, the FIA, F1 and the organisers sat down to discuss a possible alternative start time. However, this does not look like it will occur after all.
