Red Bull

Max Verstappen – #1
Liam Lawson – #30

Max Verstappen has long been locked in at Red Bull, with the world champion’s deal running through to the end of 2028. This has not prevented speculation over a possible move elsewhere, amid rumours of interest from Mercedes. Verstappen has stated, however, that he is not considering changing teams.

While Sergio Perez signed a contract extension earlier in the season to keep him at the team through to 2026, the Mexican and Red Bull subsequently reached an agreement to part ways with immediate effect following the conclusion of a tough campaign. His seat will be filled by Liam Lawson, who has impressed during his two super-sub stints with sister team RB.

Ferrari

Charles Leclerc – #16
Lewis Hamilton – #44

One of the biggest driver market moves of recent times happened before the 2024 season had even started when it was confirmed that Lewis Hamilton would make the shock switch to Ferrari in 2025, bringing his long partnership with Mercedes to an end. The seven-time world champion will replace Carlos Sainz at the team, something that the Spaniard said he has "no hard feelings" about.

The other spot at Ferrari will be retained by Charles Leclerc. Having raced for the Scuderia since 2019, the Monegasque has pledged his future to the squad, having signed a contract extension which will see him stay with the team for several more years.

McLaren

Lando Norris – #4
Oscar Piastri – #81

As they continue their progression following a rapid surge in performance during 2023, McLaren have settled on their driver line-up for the long-term. Lando Norris – who has been racing for the team since making his F1 debut in 2019 – agreed a new “extended multi-year” contract with the squad prior to the start of 2024.

Joining him will be Oscar Piastri, with the Australian also committed to the team after signing a multi-year extension until the end of 2026.

Mercedes

George Russell – #63
Andrea Kimi Antonelli – #TBC

George Russell will remain with Mercedes in 2025, marking his fourth season racing for the team. It was confirmed in August 2023 that the Briton had signed a new two-year deal to keep him at the Silver Arrows through to the end of next season.

While the same contract was announced for Hamilton, he ultimately activated a release option to allow for his move to Ferrari. His replacement will be 2024 F2 driver and long-time Mercedes protege Kimi Antonelli, with Team Principal Toto Wolff hoping to have uncovered the next Max Verstappen given the young Italian’s sparkling junior category CV.

Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso – #14
Lance Stroll – #18

Fernando Alonso enjoyed an impressive start to his tenure with Aston Martin in 2023 and, while the team have struggled to maintain those results, the Spaniard has reaffirmed his belief in the project by signing a deal that will keep him at the squad until at least the end of 2026.

Lance Stroll – who has been incumbent on the line-up since joining in their Racing Point guise back in 2019 – has also been confirmed at the team for 2025 alongside Alonso, giving the team helpful continuity.

RB

Yuki Tsunoda – #22
Isack Hadjar – #TBC

It was announced prior to the Canadian Grand Prix that Yuki Tsunoda will continue to race for RB in 2025 after the team took up an option on their agreement with the Japanese driver, marking his fifth season at the Red Bull sister outfit.

Daniel Ricciardo made way for Liam Lawson for the United States Grand Prix after an inconsistent season, with Lawson subsequently doing enough to earn himself a promotion to Red Bull as Max Verstappen's team mate in 2025. This left a vacancy at RB, a seat that F2 runner up Isack Hadjar will fill as he becomes the 19th driver to be promoted to F1 from Red Bull's junior programme.

Haas

Oliver Bearman – #TBC
Esteban Ocon – #31

After returning to the F1 grid with Haas in 2023, Nico Hulkenberg will depart the team at the end of the season to join Kick Sauber in 2025 ahead of the latter’s transition into Audi’s works outfit. It was also confirmed in July that, with Kevin Magnussen’s contract expiring at the close of 2024, he would be departing at the end of the current campaign.

After impressing for Ferrari at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Oliver Bearman has grabbed one of the Haas seats for 2025 while, in the run up to the Belgian Grand Prix, it was announced Esteban Ocon would be moving from Alpine to fill the other seat at the team.

Alpine

Pierre Gasly – #10
Jack Doohan – #TBC

Like Haas, Alpine already know that they will be losing one of their current drivers after 2024, with Esteban Ocon set to leave following a five-year stint with the squad.

Team mate Pierre Gasly has been re-signed to the squad on a multi-year extension. He will be joined by reserve driver Jack Doohan, who won out over other candidates to step up to F1 full-time in 2025 – and where his development will be overseen by new Team Principal Oliver Oakes.

Williams

Alex Albon – #23
Carlos Sainz – #55

Alex Albon will enter his fourth season as a Williams driver in 2025, having signed a multi-year contract extension with the team which will keep him there through to 2026.

Carlos Sainz has been announced as Albon's team mate from next season, ending months of speculation about his future. He has signed a multi-year deal for the team, giving them continuity into the new era of engine regulations.

Sainz had no shortage of suitors, but opted for the Williams project, with James Vowles impressing the Spaniard with his vision for the future.

Kick Sauber

Nico Hulkenberg – #27
Gabriel Bortoleto – #TBC

As previously mentioned, Nico Hulkenberg will make the move to Kick Sauber in 2025, with the German having revealed that Andreas Seidl – who has since been replaced by Mattia Binotto – played a key role in him signing to the future Audi F1 factory team.

Following the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend the team confirmed that rookie Gabriel Bortoleto would be joining alongside the German, after the 20-year-old Brazilian signed a multi-year deal.

That also means an all new line-up for the squad with Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu departing at the end of 2024.
