The 2025 Formula 1 season is underway, kicking off this weekend with the first Grand Prix in Melbourne. 

The season is set to be intense, with Lewis Hamilton in the drivers seat for Ferrari, Liam Lawson making his fully fledged debut as Max Verstappen’s new wingman at Red Bull, and McLaren looking like the team to beat.  

Luke Smith has chased the sport for over a decade, currently working as the Formula 1 writer for the Atlantic. 

He told Mike Hosking this year looks so competitive, and it’s very hard to call who’s going to be quickest. 

“We go into a lot of seasons kind of thinking like, there’s normally one team that should dominate,” Smith explained. 

“But this year, it really feels like anybody’s game.”
