After a first part of the season dominated by McLaren and an impressively consistent Oscar Piastri, Formula 1 kicks off its European tour. Three legendary events follow one another on the calendar: Imola, Monaco, and Barcelona. Three iconic circuits, three unique atmospheres, and three challenges—both technical and emotional—for the drivers, the teams… and our photographers. Imola: Back on Ferrari Territory On May 18, F1 arrives in Imola for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, on the historic home soil of Scuderia Ferrari. This emotionally charged circuit inevitably brings back memories of the tragic weekend in 1994, marked by the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna—a moment that shook the sport and led to a complete overhaul of the track. Since then, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari has undergone major changes: new chicanes, redesigned corners like Tamburello, Villeneuve, Acque Minerali, and Variante Bassa. Dropped from the calendar in 2006, Imola returned in 2020 during the pandemic, bringing back the spirit of classic racing circuits.

Read OnAfter an initial stop in Bahrain for the traditional winter testing, the 2025 Australian Grand Prix will mark the true start of the Formula 1 season. The drivers will gather for the first round of the championship on the semi-street circuit of Albert Park in Melbourne, promising fans an exciting spectacle on a fast and technical track. The Albert Park Circuit, stretching 5.278 km, is known for its sequence of fast corners and long straights that encourage overtaking. Modified in recent years to enhance the racing spectacle, it will challenge both the performance of the cars and the strategic decisions of the teams. This edition holds special significance due to the numerous changes that took place during the off-season. One of the most significant transfers is that of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who is leaving Mercedes after twelve years of collaboration to join Scuderia Ferrari. A strategic move for the British driver, who hopes to return to the top with the Italian team. His arrival pushes Carlos Sainz Jr. toward new horizons, as the Spaniard joins Williams Racing, bringing his experience to a team in full reconstruction. In addition to the reshuffling among established drivers, this season will see […]
Read OnAfter the WEC, it’s time for Formula 1 to kick off its 2025 season. The action heads to the Bahrain International Circuit for the pre-season tests, taking place from February 26 to 28. These three days of testing are crucial for the teams and drivers, as they will only have one opportunity to test their new cars before the first race in Melbourne. For Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Jack Doohan, and Liam Lawson, it will also be a chance to work with their new teams. The Sakhir circuit, known for its favorable weather conditions, also presents a challenging layout for the chassis and tires. This ideal setting makes Bahrain a key testing venue, allowing teams to assess their car’s new configurations and provide the first insights into the competitive landscape.
