Melbourne to kick Off 2025 Formula One season, reclaims season-opener status

Posted : 12 April 2024

In a notable shift, the 2025 Australian Grand Prix will reclaim its status as the season-opener for Formula One, marking the first time in six years that Melbourne will host the inaugural race instead of Bahrain, as confirmed by the sport's governing body, the FIA. The eagerly anticipated 24-race season is set to commence on March 16 in Melbourne and culminate on December 7 in Abu Dhabi, coinciding with Formula One's celebration of the 75th anniversary of its world championship.

 

The decision to return the season-opener to Melbourne comes after the Bahrain Grand Prix's stint as the inaugural race since 2021, with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix assuming the role of the second race on the calendar since 2022. The alteration in the schedule is attributed to logistical considerations, notably the Muslim holy month of Ramadan falling in March next year, prompting the relocation of the opening race from the Middle East to Australia.

 

Following the Australian Grand Prix, Formula One will embark on a series of European races, commencing with the Imola Grand Prix in May, forming part of a triple header alongside iconic events in Monaco and Spain, held consecutively over back-to-back weekends. Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, expressed gratitude to the FIA, promoters, and all stakeholders for their collaborative efforts in shaping the upcoming season, underscoring the anticipation for another thrilling year in Formula One.

 

While the testing schedule and the sprint calendar for the 2025 season are yet to be announced, Formula One remains committed to delivering exciting racing experiences for teams, drivers, and fans worldwide. The current season has witnessed the introduction of sprint races at six Grand Prix events, enhancing the spectacle and adding further excitement to the championship battles across various circuits, with plans for similar innovations expected to continue shaping the future of Formula One.
