Their predictions for the 2025 season........
#1
There is no doubt what the biggest story is of 2025: it’s Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, of course, as the GOAT joins the Prancing Horse.
Last year was among the most competitive at the top end of the grid but Hamilton frequently found himself at the trailing edge of that front-running group, save for a couple of standout results. How much was on him, how much on the car, and how much down to the weird circumstance of a protracted divorce from Mercedes?
Whatever the past, Hamilton has a fresh start, and Melbourne will be the season opener for the first time since 2019 (let’s ignore 2020, okay). Melbourne races can be chaotic, and laced with unpredictability, so we’ll go bold and tip Hamilton to take an unlikely victory in a wild opener that sets the tone for a mega 2025.
