Okay, so I’ve been digging into the F1 2025 driver lineup, and boy, are there some shake-ups! It all started when I saw a post mentioning some new rookies joining the grid. Naturally, I dove right in.
First, I checked out a few articles talking about the confirmed drivers for each team. I learned there are going to be five rookies next year, which is pretty wild. Their names are Jack Doohan, Kimi Antonelli, and Ollie Bearman. That’s gonna be interesting to see how they handle the pressure.
Then I started seeing some rumors about driver changes. There was this one article that really caught my eye: “Official: Lawson confirmed as Verstappen’s new team mate for 2025; Official: Perez will not drive for Red Bull in 2025”. Whoa! So, Liam Lawson is moving up, and Perez is out at Red Bull? That’s huge news! I had to find out more.
I spent the next hour or so reading everything I could find on the driver market. Turns out, there are six rookies in total for 2025, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan, Oliver Bearman, Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Isack Hadjar. That’s a lot of new blood in F1! It also seems like Bottas and Zhou might be looking for new seats, but nothing’s confirmed yet.
I also found out the season starts with a doubleheader in Melbourne and Shanghai, with the Chinese GP being the first Sprint weekend. That’s going to be a hectic start for everyone, especially the new guys. This is gonna be such a thrill ride!
Here’s a little summary of what I’ve gathered:
- Five rookies are confirmed: Jack Doohan, Kimi Antonelli, and Ollie Bearman.
- Six rookies confirmed for 2025: Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan, Oliver Bearman, Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Isack Hadjar.
- Lawson is in, Perez is out at Red Bull: This is according to one of the articles I read.
- Bottas and Zhou’s futures are uncertain: Again, this is just based on what I’ve been reading.

Honestly, this whole driver market situation is pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out on track next year. It’s definitely going to be one of the most exciting F1 seasons in a long time. I’ll keep following the news and update you guys if I find anything else!
