As Formula 1 fans brace for the off-season, speculation about the 2025 season is heating up. George, host of the popular YouTube series “F1 Reverse,” recently shared his bold predictions for the upcoming season, stirring excitement and debate among enthusiasts.
Starting at the bottom, George predicts that Sauber will finish last in the Constructors’ Championship, struggling to develop their car amid changing ownership dynamics. Following them, he places Williams in ninth position, despite a promising driver lineup of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz. George argues that the team’s struggles from the previous season will carry over, limiting their ability to score points.
In eighth, he foresees Alpine, with Pierre Gasly and rookie Jack Doohan, facing challenges due to instability within the team and a lack of competitive car performance. Haas is projected to finish seventh, with George highlighting their recent strong performances but questioning their driver lineup for 2025.
The mid-field battle is expected to be fierce, with Aston Martin and Mercedes both in a precarious position. George anticipates Aston Martin will finish fifth, attributing their potential resurgence to Fernando Alonso, yet doubts Lance Stroll’s contributions. Mercedes, struggling to understand their car’s performance, is predicted to finish fourth, with George suggesting that Lewis Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari may not be seamless.
At the top, George believes McLaren and Ferrari will vie for the Constructors’ Championship, with Ferrari slightly edging out McLaren. He predicts that Charles Leclerc could emerge as the Drivers’ Champion, contingent on Hamilton’s adaptation to Ferrari. Meanwhile, he sees Max Verstappen finishing second, with potential struggles for new teammate Liam Lawson.
As fans eagerly await the new season, George’s predictions promise to fuel discussions and debates, setting the stage for what could be a thrilling 2025 F1 Championship.
