Australian Grand Prix 2025: preview

The opening race of the season being staged at Albert Park just feels right, but this is no ordinary curtain-raiser. At least three teams' driver pairings don't have a clear hierarchy, so for McLaren, Ferrari and Williams, it's every man for himself in Melbourne.

As much as everybody wants to beat Max Verstappen, the key battles this weekend are between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, and Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, and the former could well be the most intriguing of the lot.

Norris might have won the drivers' title last season were it not for a multitude of errors, the majority of them from pole, and in case Piastri needed any further incentive to shine at his home GP, no Australian driver has ever made the top three at this event.

While the McLaren looked like the car to beat in pre-season testing, with the Red Bull seemingly lagging, the conditions Down Under will be drastically different. There could, however, be rain on Sunday.

Here's all the info on where to watch F1 live streams anywhere in the world for the Australian Grand Prix.
