F1 driver list

The 2025 Formula 1 grid is nearing completion with Carlos Sainz officially signing with Williams and Checo Pérez confirmed to stay at Red Bull, though four seats remain available. Sainz's move follows his departure from Ferrari, where he was replaced by Lewis Hamilton, prompting speculation about his next team, ultimately leading him to Williams on a multi-year deal. The lineup for 2025 is becoming clearer with updates including Esteban Ocon joining Haas and Nico Hulkenberg moving to Stake F1, but teams like Mercedes, Alpine, and Racing Bulls still have confirmed vacancies. Meanwhile, significant changes are anticipated in the upcoming seasons as a new powertrain manufacturer is set to join Formula E, with five teams already announcing their driver line-ups for 2025. As the driver market evolves, teams are looking to finalize their rosters ahead of the major regulatory changes expected in 2026, particularly regarding engines. The F1 landscape is poised for transformation as it transitions into a new era with fresh opportunities and challenges for drivers and teams alike.
