The Australian GP 2025 will be broadcast on Canal+
The 2025 Formula 1 season is finally underway! If you don't want to miss a thing of this first meeting, we've got it all: schedules, TV channels, drivers to watch... Get ready for a race that promises to be as exciting as it is uncertain!
The first Grand Prix of the year takes place in Melbourne, a legendary circuit that is one of the must-see races of the season. This Sunday, March 16, the tension will be at its peak, as all eyes will be on the 20 drivers ready to battle it out on a track that is as technical as it is spectacular.
The qualifications have already provided a glimpse of the suspense to come. Lando Norris claimed pole position just ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri. Max Verstappen, four-time world champion, is only third, slightly trailing behind his direct competitors. A sign that the season could indeed be more closely contested than expected.
And since a Grand Prix without surprises is never fun, rain is also expected, which could completely disrupt the current strategies.
The starting grid
In addition to the two McLarens at the front, Red Bull remains a serious contender for victory, with a very solid Max Verstappen in third position. But don’t underestimate the other drivers, as this 2025 season promises to be ultra-competitive. The rookies, like Isack Hadjar, are there to prove their worth. The Frenchman, 11th on the grid, could well surprise. It will be important to closely watch the strategies in a race as uncertain as this one, where anything can happen, especially with the weather conditions.
The schedules
So, how can you keep up with all this without missing a bit of the action? If you tend to lounge in bed in the morning, get ready to sacrifice a bit of sleep this Sunday, March 16. The start of the Australian Grand Prix is scheduled for 5:00 a.m. French time.
However, please note: the schedule may be modified depending on local weather, so don’t panic if the time changes a bit at the last moment.
