F1 2025 Mega Thread

The FIA ​​has published the entry list for 2025.
Both Doohan and Perez are still in place, only Lawson is missing. But changes can still be made.

For example, the final version of the 2024 season was presented only on January 25 this year.

Oh that's choice... The Maranello Press Release should be corrected to say, "led by TWG Global and General Motors, but powered by Ferrari"...

Andretti Racing Limited has officially changed its name to Cadillac Formula Racing Limited.

This is the same company that was behind the application to join F1.

So the Andretti name will now remain within the team only in the person of Mario.

We now have official confirmation of all the numbers that will be used by the juniors in 2025.

Antonelli: #12, used by Felipe Nasr in 2016

Berman: #87. It hasn't been used at all since 1959

Duen: #7 by Kimi Raikkonen, which he used until 2021

And finally, Bortoleto! BAM! #5, formerly owned by Sebastian Vettel.

According to American sources, the candidates for the Cadillac driver's seat in #F1 are:

- American driver: Colton Herta, Jack Crawford, and Mexican driver Pato O'Ward, in that order. Logan Sargent is not being considered by the team, and the first two on the list have yet to obtain a super license, with McLaren ready to help Hurt make up the missing points with Friday practice;

- Experienced driver from the F1 world: Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas, Dan Ricciardo, Kevin Magnussen, in that order. Zhou is not being considered at the moment.

Colton is already an Andretti driver. He's short on points, but if McLaren is ready to help, he could make it work. Seems pretty likely, imo.

Perez would be a huge ambassador for a north american based team.
