 Welcome to the Formula One 2025 75 thread, as featured on Drive to Survive Season 8 Formula one is a sport where 19 children go racing at the weekend with their Legal Guardian Fernando Alonso. For the 2025 season there are 24 race weekends spread across 5 continents, which is probably about 10 too many races and 4 too many continents. A race weekend usually consists of 3 practice sessions on the Friday and Saturday morning, where the kids fight over the good controller, then a Qualifying session on the Saturday to determine the race order. Then finally the race on the Sunday Except sometimes qualifying isnt to determine the race order, and there are other races but not the real race. As we already have too many races this is a bad thing At the end of the season whoever has cheated the most wins the Championship There are currently 10 teams on the grid, each with a pair of drivers. The cars are basically the same aside from the colour, and only really differentiated by how much the various teams have cheated and got away with it. The cheating by 9 of the ten teams is generally honourable, however Red Bull cheat both dishonourably and on their wives The list of teams and their drivers is as follows: BWT Alpine Formula One Team:  Once upon a time these guys were the Renault team, and whilst they were once good a very long time ago are now quite bad. I do like the nice pink accents though Their two drivers are: Number 10 Pierre Gasly  A good french kid who means well, somehow won a race in 2020? Number 7 Jack Doohan  I've been assured that is a real name, he's Australian and his dad rode bikes well by the sound of it. No idea if he's any good as I only found out about him a few weeks ago Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team:  I much preferred them when they were pink. They were good once when they copied mercedes but now they are fairly terrible. Their two drivers are: Number 18 Lance Stroll  Full failson binman, his dad owns the team and the only reason he still has a drive. Truly awful Number 14 Fernando Alonso  The old tired dad who has to clean up after everyone at the end of the day. Won some championships a long time ago due to some technical cheating with Renault, mostly complains a lot now. Possible fraud Scuderia Ferrari HP  The oldest and most prestigious team on the grid. I've always been a huge fan of them and there is no need to check my post history to confirm this. Known for their strategy genius and will almost certainly win this year Their two drivers are: Number 16 Charles Leclerc  Another good lad who means well, he's won a bunch of races and hell, he's probably going to win a bunch more Number 44 Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton  The absolute G.O.A.T, fully blessed saviour of F1. Winner of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team  Very dull looking car and I'd forgotten they were sponsored by Palm Angels who produce clothes for dickheads. They have previously showed the odd glimmer of speed but are generally fairly poo poo Their two drivers are: Number 31 Esteban Ocon  I'd honestly forgotten he won a race until now. Doubt he'll be doing much of that this season but he's pretty good in the right car. Number 87 Oliver Bearman  Made his debut last year and was fairly forgettable aside from his funny name and very long neck. If he turns out to be any good then I've always been a fan of him for info Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber  I kind of like the green but they're sponsored by a very dodgy gambling company. They have been terrible for a while now with no sign of improving, cant think of a single positive thing to say about them Their two drivers are: Number 27 Nico Hulkenberg  Known as the Hulk, he is mostly known for being around for ages without a Number 5 Gabriel Bortoleto  Lol bort McLaren Formula 1 Team  Big fan of the papaya colour - they used to be amazing, then they were binmen for a bit, now they're good again. Might win it this year i guess? Their two drivers are: Number 81 Oscar Piastri  A good lad who means very well, even if he is australian but no one is perfect. Got good all of a sudden when mclaren stopped making a crap car Number 4 Lando Norris  British lad with a star wars name, I used to like him but not so much now. The 2024 top trump stats put him above Oscar but they're far from right as any one who watched last year will know Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team  This has the potential to look good but the red of bineos ruins it. I liked them more last year. They've won a bunch of stuff due to are lew, but then they got a case of the porpoises and have been tad poo poo since then. Kind of got it together again last year Their two drivers are: Number 63 George Russell  Extremely unlikeable tory boy, probably kicks homeless people for fun. Did a win, maybe deserved a couple more but you wont find many going to bat for him Number 12 Andrea Kimi Antonelli  Who is ANT on the timing screen? is the question you are most likely to be asking for the first few races Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team  Yes that really is their name. Red bulls little sister team, purely used as a feeder team from the red bull academy. They've been useless for ages now Their two drivers are: Number 6 Isack Hadjar  Yeah i dunno either Number 22 Yuki Tsunoda  Can be pretty quick when he wants to but mostly doesnt give a poo poo so a he's a good lad in my book Oracle Red Bull Racing  The most fraudulant team on the grid, and it honestly disgusts me that they are still allowed to race in this series. Cheated their way to multiple constructors titles and marriage breakups Their two drivers are: Number 1 Max Verstappen  Sorry i just threw up in my mouth a little. Awful little poo poo who has somehow won Number 30 Liam Lawson  Newly promoted to the top of the red bull pile, i've set a reminder to update the OP in six months time when he gets binned off in favour of some other young idiot Williams Racing  I like the battery thing going on but thats about it really. They used to be the best, now they are terrible. Haunted by the ghost of margaret thatcher I suspect Their two drivers are: Number 23 Alexander Albon  A casualty of the red bull revolving door, he's pretty good at qualifying but mostly quite forgettable. Also a Dr I believe Number 55 Carlos Sainz  Poor Carlos. Last season he was at Ferrari who are my favourite team, now he is down the bottom of the grid.

Arc Hammer posted:Got a good feeling about Lolonso this year. I don't think the team that picked up Newey is going to be incentivized to do anything on this year's car. I'm looking forward to next year when the Aston rips and Alonso consistently places 8+ higher than Stroll, causing pressure for them to drop him, which I think will ultimately end with both Strolls leaving F1.

The 2025 Rookie Roundtable is a great watch on F1TV. They all come off as so likeable and happy to be there, and it's hilarious watching Laura Winters try to keep them focused on the interview questions. Like a high school teacher trying to control a rowdy classroom.
