Formula One 2025: Race dates, Hamilton’s move to Ferrari and where will Carlos Sainz end up?

Formula 1 has released its calendar for the 2025 Season, with 24 races across the year, kicking things off on March 16 in Australia.  

This will be a particularly special edition as it is the 75^th anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship. The calendar features all of the same circuits as the 2024 schedule with a few changes to the order of races.

Bahrain has opened the calendar for the past four years, but due to the timing of Ramadan, the race in Sakhir and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will now take place in April, having Australia open in Melbourne instead. This will then be followed by China and Japan, this all being the only major change from this year’s calendar.

LEWIS HAMILTON’S MOVE TO FERRARI

Lewis Hamilton will depart from Mercedes after the 2024 season after opting out of his final contract year, replacing Carlos Sainz at Ferrari.  

Hamiliton’s contract came to an end after the driver activated a release clause in his contract, confirming he will be joining Ferrari on a multi-year deal. 

Considered the most successful F1 driver in history holding seven world titles, the driver expressed that this move would be fulfilling a “childhood dream”. Hamilton will be driving alongside Charles Leclerc and linking up with Fred Vasseur, who he worked with in junior formulae, building the foundations of their relationship. 

WHERE WILL CARLOS SAINZ BE HEADING?

Ferrari’s signing of Lewis Hamilton leaves everyone wondering who Carlos Sainz will be signing a contract with next.  

Carlos Sainz is the top driver available for the 2025 season. Sainz has been linked to several teams since the news broke and has been open about the contract negotiations taking place for him.  

Red Bull have confirmed that they have been in talks with Sainz about the possibility of driving alongside current world champion Max Verstappen. Sergio Perez currently drives alongside Verstappen for Red Bull but his future there could be in doubt due to his recent performances and the availability of Sainz. 

We also know that Mercedes is seeking replacement for Hamilton. 

The door was closed for Sainz at Aston Martin after they confirmed the contract continuation of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, although he did say that they wouldn’t have been his top choice, stating that all of his best options are still open. 

With multiple options for the driver, it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

We are excited to offer multiple hospitality packages across the whole of the F1 calendar, with travel and accommodation inclusions at a number of racing weekends. Get in touch with us and discuss your options today!
