2025 Formula One World Championship

Max Verstappen is the reigning World Drivers' Champion, while McLaren-Mercedes are the reigning World Constructors' Champions.

The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula One cars which will be the 76th running of the 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. The championship will be contested over twenty-four Grands Prix held around the world. It is scheduled to begin in March and end in December.

The 2025 season is planned to be the last year to utilise the power unit configuration introduced in 2014. A revised configuration without MGU-H but with a higher power output from the MGU-K will be introduced for the 2026 championship.[1] Drivers and teams are scheduled to compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion respectively. Max Verstappen is the reigning Drivers' Champion,[2] while McLaren-Mercedes are the reigning Constructors' Champions.[3]

2025 will mark the final year of the ground-effect generation of cars introduced in 2022 and the last year of the drag reduction system (DRS) introduced as an overtaking aid in 2011 as cars with active aerodynamics and moveable wings are being introduced from 2026.[4] It will also be the final season for Renault as an active engine supplier for its team Alpine, as the manufacturer plans to discontinue engine production post 2025.[5]
