A competitive Formula 1 season sits at the top of the 2025 wishlist, with hopes for at least two teams battling for wins from the start. This would prevent any single team from building an insurmountable lead early in the championship, as Red Bull did in 2024.

Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari presents an exciting prospect, especially if the Scuderia can provide him with a title-contending car. His last genuine championship fight was in 2021, and an eighth title challenge would be momentous for the sport.

Liam Lawson's promotion to Red Bull's second seat raises interesting questions. While some argue the timing might be premature, a strong season could prove critics wrong and showcase his aggressive driving style.

George Russell's rivalry with Max Verstappen adds spice to the championship, particularly following their Qatar incidents. A more competitive Mercedes would create more opportunities for these drivers to battle on track.

General Motors' potential entry into F1 needs quick resolution. An early FIA announcement would help preparations for their 2026 grid debut.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix requires schedule adjustments, with earlier start times benefiting spectators, East Coast viewers, and teams managing the season-ending triple-header.

Carlos Sainz deserves recognition at Williams after strong performances at Ferrari. A standout result in 2025 would validate his move and maintain momentum for 2026's regulation changes.

Alpine's unpredictable nature, from management changes to power unit decisions, makes them fascinating to follow. Despite the turbulence, their sixth-place finish in 2024 showed resilience and potential for further improvement.
