Get set for a much-changed Formula 1 grid in 2025 as the final season of the sport's current rules era gets set for another 24-race tour around the world, all live on Sky Sports F1.
This season's calendar features the record of 24 Grands Prix for the second successive year although this time kicked off in Melbourne, Australia on March 16 with Albert Park staging its first season-opener since 2019.
With Ramadan taking place through the month of March in 2025, both Bahrain - which had hosted the previous four season-openers - and Saudi Arabia move to April where they will stage the fourth and fifth rounds respectively on April 13 and April 20.

The season again runs in to December, with Abu Dhabi bringing the curtain down on the current generation of cars and engines before the big 2026 overhaul on December 7.
There will again be six Sprint weekends featuring the 100km Saturday race in 2025 - with Belgium replacing Austria as a venue hosting the alternative format alongside China, Miami, Austin, Brazil and Qatar once again.
Only two teams field the line-up they started with in 2024 - with Lewis Hamilton's switch to Ferrari arguably the biggest driver transfer of all time.
