Formula 1: Which drivers will compete at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

This season, Oscar Piastri from Australia will be in action, having won last year. He currently sits fourth in the overall standings with 34 points. The current leader is Britain’s Lando Norris with 44 points. He is followed by the Dutchman Max Verstappen with 36 points, while George Russell is third with 35 points.

Lando Norris started his motorsport career in motocross, before moving to karting, where he became the youngest CIK-FIA KF World Champion at the age of 14. In 2019, at the age of 20, he joined the McLaren team and has since posted impressive results, including a podium finish at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix. Norris is also known for his social media presence and unique helmet design, wearing the number 4.

Max Verstappen is considered one of the most prominent drivers in modern Formula 1. His career has been marked by many achievements, including the world title, which he won by overtaking Lewis Hamilton in the final race of 2021. He continued to dominate in the following years, winning back-to-back championships and setting new records in the 2023 season.

George Russell, who drives the number 63 Mercedes car, began his Formula 1 career with Williams. During his career, he has managed to replace Lewis Hamilton at the Sakhir Grand Prix in 2020 and take Valtteri Bottas' place at Mercedes. In 2024, Russell won the Austrian and Las Vegas Grand Prix, setting a new record for most wins in a single season.
