Lewis Hamilton snubbed as Sainz delivers F1 title pre…read more
In a bold prediction for the F1 2025 season, Carlos Sainz shared his thoughts on the drivers he believes will be in the mix for the Drivers’ Championship. Sainz, who has previously raced alongside some of these drivers, named Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and George Russell as the top contenders for the title. Interestingly, the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who will be racing for Ferrari in 2025, was notably left out of Sainz’s predictions.
When asked by SoyMotor for his opinion on the 2025 F1 title race, Sainz said, “I don’t know. I think it will be between those first three you have said – Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc.” He didn’t include Hamilton in the list of potential champions, suggesting that the fight for the 2025 title would likely be between his former team-mates at Red Bull, McLaren, and Ferrari, along with Mercedes’ Russell. This omission has certainly raised some eyebrows, considering Hamilton’s status as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
The 2025 F1 season is shaping up to be a thrilling one, with the major teams of Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes all aiming for glory. Verstappen, who is aiming to win a fifth consecutive Drivers’ Championship, will be a major force to reckon with, but Sainz’s predictions suggest that other drivers will be hot on his heels. McLaren’s Norris, Ferrari’s Leclerc, and Mercedes’ Russell are all seen as strong competitors for the top spot.
The 2025 season marks a new chapter for Hamilton. After years of dominance with Mercedes, he will be driving for Ferrari in a bid to secure a historic eighth World Championship, which would break his tie with Michael Schumacher. However, Sainz’s view on Hamilton not being in the title hunt for 2025 suggests that the competition will be fiercer than ever, with other teams and drivers closing the gap to Red Bull’s dominance.
Sainz himself is embarking on a new journey, as he moves to Williams after Hamilton took his place at Ferrari. The Spaniard’s prediction sheds light on the competitive landscape of F1 in 2025 and the shifting dynamics among the top teams. Despite Hamilton’s legendary career, Sainz doesn’t see him as a frontrunner for the 2025 title, indicating that the competition will be intense, and perhaps it’s time for a fresh wave of talent to challenge for the crown.
With such a strong lineup of drivers and teams all gunning for the championship, the F1 2025 season promises to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable in recent years. Fans can expect a thrilling battle for the title, as Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, and Russell all vie for supremacy, while Hamilton will look to prove that he is far from done in the sport.
