F1 2025 track guide: Has there been any changes ahead of the season?

FORMULA ONE is back – with 24 weekends of packed action for fans to get excited about!

F1 fans will be familiar with every track on this season's circuit, with all 24 tracks remaining the same ahead of another year of action.

Despite the race locations staying the same ahead of the 2025 season, there has been a change in the order in which fans are given the races.

There is a big change around with the start of the season, with Australia returning to the opening weekend, and all of weeks one through five changing in some capacity.

The season will end in the same way it did in 2024, with Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounding off another season.

Round nine and ten will change, as will round 13 and 14.

Silverstone will remain the opening weekend of July, but F1 – nor SunSport – can give any promises on what kind of weather fans will get that weekend.

SunSport can reveal all the changes to the F1 calendar ahead of 2025.

F1 2025 Track Guide

The location of the 24 races has NOT changed ahead of the 2025 season, but the order in which they are happening has.

The 2025 order (with 2024 order in brackets) is as follows:

Round One: Australia (2024 – Bahrain)

Australia had been the opening race on the F1 calendar 22 times until 2019, but Covid forced the event to be cancelled in 2020, and it returned to third in 2022.

Ferrari boast the most constructors wins here, but Lando Norris got off to a brilliant start winning the first race of the season.

• Winner – Lando Norris

Round Two: China (2024 – Saudi Arabia)

China had been a favourite track of Lewis Hamilton‘s over the years but suffered a nightmare return this year.

After their opening race win, McLaren doubled down on their claim as the team to beat as Norris' team-mate Oscar Piastri won race two.

• Winner – Oscar Piastri

Round Three: Japan (2024 – Australia)

Geographically, Japan after China makes the most sense. Norris and Piastri will have their eye on yet another win here, as McLaren have won nine times on this track.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round Four: Bahrain (2024 – Japan)

After the Covid crisis that shutdown the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, Bahrain had taken over number one spot on the F1 calendar.

This one could be a match made in heaven for Hamilton, who has won the GP the most times, while Ferrari have the most constructors wins here.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round Five: Saudi Arabia (2024 – China)

This circuit has only been on the F1 calendar for four years, and was part of the controversial brake checking incident between Verstappen and Hamilton in 2021.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round Six: Miami (2024 – Miami)

Miami is one of THREE USA races on the F1 calendar, and has been part of the F1 calendar for three years.

Lando Norris will be looking forward to this one, as he picked up his maiden F1 victory here last year.

Last year's winner: Lando Norris

Round Seven: Imola (2024 – Imola)

Imola, or Emilia-Romagna, has a special place in every F1 fan's heart.

While it was being used under the title “San Marino Grand Prix,” legendary driver Aytron Senna crashed and tragically passed away while racing in the GP.

Every year, it offers F1 fans the chance to remember the legendary driver.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round Eight: Monaco (2024 – Monaco)

Monaco is one of the most famous races on the calendar. It often sees big name celebrities and sports personalities turn up in masses, and has been held 81 times.

Although, the track is famous for being almost impossible to overtake on.

Last year's winner: Charles Leclerc

Round Nine: Spain (2024 – Canada)

The Spanish Grand Prix and Canadian Grand Prix have switched for 2025, and Lewis Hamilton will be looking to make history here, and overtake Michael Schumacher for most wins on the circuit.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round Ten: Canada (2024 – Spain)

The Canadian GP has been held 59 times, and much like Spain, it sees Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton tied for most number of wins on the circuit, both with seven.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round 11: Austria (2024 – Austria)

Despite winning seven of the 11 races prior to Austria last year, Verstappen was unable to take victory in Red Bull's home race.

The Dutch driver had been leading the race, but a collision with Lando Norris saw him finish in fifth, and saw the Brit retire.

Last year's winner: George Russell

Round 12: Silverstone (2024 – Silverstone)

Lewis Hamilton and Silverstone go together like two peas in a pod. The British driver has a staggering nine wins there over his career, including last year, when he looked out of form.

Last year also saw a very popular qualifying session, as George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris came first, second and third in qualifying.

Last year's winner: Lewis Hamilton

Round 13: Belgium (2024 – Hungary)

Spa has been on the F1 calendar for over 80 years. Despite this, in 2028 and 2030, F1 fans will have to go without Spa, as it drops of the calendar.

Last year's winner: Lewis Hamilton

Round 14: Hungary (2024 – Belgium)

The McLaren garage was the place to avoid after the 2024 Hungarian GP, as Lando Norris had been leading, and extending his advantage to Piastri in second, but was forced to give up the lead.

Piastri had been leading earlier in the race, but McLaren decided the race win belonged to him after Norris took the lead.

Last year's winner: Oscar Piastri

Round 15: Netherlands (2024 – Netherlands)

Max Verstappen's home track often sees the crowd filled with shirts of orange, but it was the orange of McLaren who broke their hearts in 2024.

Last year's winner: Lando Norris

Round 16: Monza (2024 – Monza)

Ferrari have typically dominated their home race, winning it 21 times. Hamilton is again tied with Schumacher for the most wins at this circuit, and will hope to bring raptures to the Tifosi in 2025.

Last year's winner: Charles Leclerc

Round 17: Baku (2024 – Baku)

Baku has been on the calendar for seven years, and had been a favourite of Sergio Perez, but during his poor 2024 season he could not pick up a win here.

Last year's winner: Oscar Piastri

Round 18: Singapore (2024 – Singapore)

Singapore was the highlight of Lando Norris' 2024 season, as he finally managed to convert a pole to a win, and held the lead for every lap of the race.

Last year's winner: Lando Norris

Round 19: Austin (2024 – Austin)

Austin is the second of three American races on the F1 calendar, and is the oldest, with F1 having raced here 53 times. Circuit of the America's has seen Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari win the most.

Last year's winner: Charles Leclerc

Round 20: Mexico (2024 – Mexico)

Mexican fans will be without home favourite Sergio Perez this year, after he was axed from Red Bull following a poor 2024 season.

However, Max Verstappen does enjoy this track, winning their five times.

Last year's winner: Carlos Sainz

Round 21: Brazil (2024 – Brazil)

Brazil has decided many a Drivers championship, with Lewis Hamilton winning his first here, and Max Verstappen all but deciding the title last season after a poor wet weather drive from Lando Norris.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round 22: Las Vegas (2024 – Las Vegas)

The Las Vegas GP is the third and final race in USA on the F1 calendar.

The sport of F1 is peaking in interest again in USA, after initially almost losing all interest from fans after the infamous 2005 Indianapolis GP, which saw only six cars start the race.

Last year's winner: George Russell

Round 23: Qatar (2024 – Qatar)

Qatar has only been on the F1 calendar for three years, and Max Verstappen has won the GP twice.

Last year's winner: Max Verstappen

Round 24: Abu Dhabi (2024 – Abu Dhabi)

Abu Dhabi has seen a lot of controversy and last day drama, most famously in 2021, when Max Verstappen won his first world title following Michael Masi basically throwing out the rule book.

Last year's winner: Lando Norris
