WATCH: The brand new opening sequence for Formula 1 is finally revealed!
Formula 1 has released the 2025 version of the driver introduction video that serves as the official opening for all sessions next season, airing on television and international streaming platforms with Formula 1 broadcasting rights.
There will be plenty of new faces in Formula 1 next season, all also making their debut in the official opening sequence. Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Jack Doohan, and Oliver Bearman will appear for the first time—of course, set to the iconic F1 theme. As in previous years, Max Verstappen is the final driver to appear on screen as the reigning world champion. In the video, fans can catch a glimpse of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, Carlos Sainz at Williams, Liam Lawson at Red Bull and other notable drivers sporting different racesuits in 2025. What do you think of the new opening sequence? Let us know in the comments below.
