The start of the 2025 F1 season is rapidly approaching and fans are anticipating one of the closest title fights in modern history after a promising pre-season test in Bahrain.

McLaren, fresh from sealing the Constructors' Championship at the season finale in 2024, are the current favourites after a strong pre-season showing, while Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull are also expected to fight for regular race victories.

Before the new campaign can get underway, fans will be treated to the release of Drive to Survive season seven, which airs on Friday. The hit Netflix docuseries will give F1 fanatics the inside scoop on the Christian Horner saga, Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari move, and the title fight between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen.
