The Formula 1 field has undergone a drastic change for 2025 with 10 drivers racing for new teams, not least Lewis Hamilton switching to Ferrari.

Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari is arguably the biggest driver transfer in F1 history as he replaces Carlos Sainz, who has joined Williams.

Replacing Hamilton at Mercedes is 18-year-old Italian Kimi Antonelli, one of six drivers making their full season debut, with Liam Lawson becoming Max Verstappen's team-mate at Red Bull in another intriguing move.
