Coming off four consecutive titles, there's a compelling case for Max Verstappen to make it five in a row in 2025 -- something only Michael Schumacher has achieved before. After his struggles in the second half of the season, it's easy to forget he scored nine race victories in 2024 -- a number that would usually represent a level of domination in a single season. It's also more than double any of his nearest rivals.
His early-season points haul, when the Red Bull was still the class of the field, laid the foundation for Verstappen's championship. However, he could grind out results in a subpar car during the second half of the season that secured the title with two races remaining.
But while Verstappen was in a class of his own for much of the year, things haven't been quite right at Red Bull for several months now. The car's competitiveness has slowly tailed off since May, when Norris beat Verstappen fair and square for the first time, and big names from its engineering team have been heading for the exit.
Formula One is one of the rapidly growing sports, both on television and streaming and at the betting window. Sportsbooks have never taken more action on F1 than in the current era.

2025 Formula One Betting Overview
With VCARB's announcement this morning that F2 runner-up Isack Hadjar will replace Liam Lawson in 2025, the F1 grid for the upcoming season is now finalized. One of the most anticipated moves within this shuffle is seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton's switch to Ferrari from Mercedes.
After securing the Constructors' Championship for the first time since 1998, McLaren heads into the 2025 season with no major changes. The team continues with the strong driver line-up of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, team principal Andrea Stella, and CEO Zak Brown.
Lando Norris enjoyed his strongest season in Formula 1 in 2024, fighting for the Drivers' Championship with Max Verstappen. Although he missed out on the coveted title, he did celebrate his maiden F1 win at the Miami Grand Prix. The British driver is in a multi-year contract with McLaren.
Ferrari had a strong 2024, fighting with McLaren for the Constructors' title until the last race in Abu Dhabi, with just 14 points separating them from the Woking-based squad. Ferrari is introducing one of the most anticipated driver pairings for 2025. The team announced in February 2024 that it had signed seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton to drive alongside Charles Leclerc for the 2025 season.
Lewis Hamilton transitioned to Ferrari after a 12-year tenure with Mercedes, where he secured six of his seven championship titles. The 39-year-old driver has set his sights on earning his record-breaking eighth title with the Maranello-based team and living out his lifelong dream of driving for the historic squad. The exact length of Lewis Hamilton's contract with Ferrari is unknown; however, it is on a multi-year basis.
Charles Leclerc has been with Ferrari since 2019 and has an incredibly strong relationship with team principal Fred Vasseur, whom he also worked with during his time at Sauber. The Monegasque driver celebrated his first home race win at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2024 and the Ferrari home race in Monza. He finished the season third in the Drivers' Championship. Leclerc is currently in a multi-year contract with Ferrari.
Red Bull lost the Constructors' Championship in 2024 after enjoying strong dominance in the ground effect era since 2022. The team announced one of the latest changes to the grid earlier this week: the exit of Max Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez, who has been replaced by VCARB driver Liam Lawson for 2025.
The team continues with Christian Horner as team principal despite internal drama earlier in the season. A huge change for the team is the exit of CTO Adrian Newey, who is set to join Aston Martin in the second quarter of 2025. Jonathan Wheatley, the sporting director at Red Bull, also left the team and will join Sauber as team principal halfway through 2025.
After the news that Lewis Hamilton had decided not to drive for Mercedes in 2025 and instead move to Ferrari, the Brackley-based squad opted to nurture young talent Andrea Kimi Antonelli rather than choosing a more experienced driver to replace the seven-time champion. George Russell remains with the team and takes up the lead driver role.
Mercedes continues with team principal Toto Wolff at the helm. The newest addition to the team is Valtteri Bottas, who returns as reserve driver after losing his seat with Sauber.
