Red Bull

Max Verstappen is locked into a long-term deal albeit with an escape clause if Helmut Marko also leaves. Verstappen insists an exit won't happen.

Just a week before Christmas, Sergio Perez's departure was announced following a poor 2024 campaign.

A day later, Liam Lawson was announced as his replacement. 

Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton's huge move to Ferrari in 2025 is the blockbuster move which the driver market rested upon.

He will partner Charles Leclerc who also penned a long-term deal to stay.

Carlos Sainz lost his seat as a result of Hamilton's arrival.

Mercedes

George Russell is committed until the end of 2025, while teenage sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli will graduate from F2 after just a single season to replace the Ferrari-bound Hamilton. 

McLaren

McLaren's exciting duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are on long-term contracts.

Aston Martin

Lance Stroll, the son of billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll, signed a deal into next year "and beyond".

Fernando Alonso has a deal with Aston Martin covering the 2025 and 2026 seasons. 

Williams

Williams impressively won the race to sign Sainz.

Sainz was ousted at Ferrari by Hamilton and spent the first half of 2024 surveying options which included Mercedes, Red Bull, Sauber and Alpine.

As those options narrowed he placed his faith in James Vowles' team.

Star driver Alex Albon is admired by top teams but reaffirmed his commitment to Williams.

Williams had Franco Colapinto in their car for the latter part of 2024, since he replaced Logan Sargeant. Colapinto has no drive for 2025, and there is no space at Williams, but he is of interest to their rivals.

Alpine

Pierre Gasly has signed a new long-term Alpine contract.

The team confirmed Esteban Ocon wouldn't be driving for them in 2025.

Jack Doohan was then confirmed as Ocon's replacement. Doohan will compete in his rookie season in 2025.

Racing Bulls

After missing out on a Red Bull drive, Yuki Tsunoda will remain at RB once again.

Formula 2 runner-up Isack Hadjar has replaced the Red Bull-bound Lawson to make his F1 debut in 2025. 

Sauber

Nico Hulkenberg will join Sauber, from Haas, in 2025 on a multi-year deal.

Gabriel Bortoleto, who is driving in Formula 2 this year, has got the nod to become Hulkenberg's teammate. Bortoleto will enter his rookie F1 season next year.

Sauber's Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou were out of contract released from the team.

Sauber will become Audi from 2026, and the German giant has big plans.

Haas

Hulkenberg will leave for Sauber. Kevin Magnussen is also out of contract, and Haas have confirmed he will exit.

Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman, who impressed hugely on his F1 debut as a replacement for the ill Sainz, has been rewarded with a full-time drive at Haas as Hulkenberg's replacement.

Ocon has been signed from Alpine to team with Bearman.
