Prema Racing driver Gabriele Mini has been stripped off his pole position for the opening round of the 2025 Formula 2 season in Melbourne, Australia.

Victor Martins will now start the Feature Race from pole, with Richard Verschoor promoted to second place due to Jak Crawford’s multiple 10-place grid penalties.

The Italian racing driver was summoned to the Stewards for impeding the DAMS Lucas Oil racing driver at Turn 4.

The officials concluded that Mini had obstructed Crawford, leading to a three-place grid penalty applicable to both races as part of the 2025 rule changes.

Mini, therefore, will start the Feature Race from fourth as Roman Stanek is also promoted into third place.

The Invicta Racing driver inherits third due to Crawford’s grid-drop and the same penalty being applied to Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Dunne as part of a scandal from pre-season testing.

The two drivers, along with their team-mates Kush Maini and Amaury Cordeel, plus the Trident duo of Sami Meguetounif Max Esterson, have been handed 10-place grid penalties for both races.

Rodin, DAMS and Trident were all found guilty of having an air pressure sensor installed by drilling spec parts to illegally measure aerodynamic loads in pre-season testing.

Hitech pair Dino Beganovic and Luke Browning are promoted to fifth and sixth respectively because of the grid penalties handed out.

Joshua Durksen will start from seventh for AIX Racing, Leonardo Fornaroli in eighth for Invicta, Sebastian Montoya ninth for Prema, and Ritomo Miyata rounding off the top 10 for ART.

Fornaroli will start the Sprint Race from pole, Durksen second and Browning third.

Mini, Crawford and Dunne all drop outside of the top 10 for the Sprint Race.

Charles Leclerc hailed significant improvements with the Ferrari SF-25 in practice for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.

There were question marks over whether Ferrari could challenge McLaren as the F1 pace-setter after pre-season testing, with balance issues creeping into the revised SF-25 concept.

It’s been well documented that Ferrari’s 2025 challenger features several changes from its predecessor, not least of which is changing front suspension from a pushrod to a pullrod set-up for the first time in 10 years.

The changes appeared to be bedding in well on Friday at the Albert Park circuit as Leclerc topped FP2, but the Monegasque driver admitted there’s more performance to come.

“Honestly, we did a good preparation work because the feeling with the car was good,” Leclerc said post-session.

“I mean, there’s obviously things that we need to improve as always and I’m not very happy with the balance yet, but we are in a much better place compared to Bahrain testing and there’s still some performance to find, but that’s the same for everybody in the paddock. 

“The cars are pretty new for everyone and so you’ve got to push it to understand why exactly is the limit, but it’s been a solid first day, now we’ve got to wait and see how it goes tomorrow when we push a little more.”

Leclerc and Ferrari targeting pole in Melbourne

Asked whether Ferrari can challenge for pole position in Australia on Saturday, Leclerc replied “For now it’s too early to say.

“I don’t think we’ve seen the real pace of everybody yet and I think some teams might hide their game a bit more than others, but for sure McLaren is up there.

“I think Red Bull might be struggling a little bit more for now, but you never know with them, especially with Max [Verstappen], you can never really rule them out.

“So I’m sure there will be in the fight and the Mercedes looks strong as well. 

“So it’s going to be a good fight, I’m sure.”

Still, despite admitting “I want to be cautious,” Leclerc has set his heart on clinching pole position.

“Let’s wait and see, but it’s right to say that after a day like this, we are looking forward to tomorrow and we want to try and target pole position,” he concluded.

Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 title defence is off to a less than ideal start with Red Bull at the Australian Grand Prix.

Second practice on Friday at the Albert Park circuit was a test up and down the grid to see how teams would fare in low-fuel qualifying simulations and Red Bull couldn’t match the likes of McLaren or Ferrari.

Verstappen struggled with grip in his RB21, prompting a series of set-up tweaks in the garage which came too late to avail him of his standing of seventh in FP2, some six tenths off of the pace. 

“To be honest, the balance wasn’t even completely out,” Verstappen said post-session. “No massive or major problems.

“But somehow, the grip was not coming alive. I was just struggling on all four tyres, really, in Sector 1 and the last sector. 

“That means, of course, that we are not really up there at the moment.”

Alarmingly, that makes Red Bull’s issues harder to cure.

“The problem is that it’s not really like I have major balance problems,” Verstappen explained. “I think it will be a bit hard to fix.

“It’s also nothing that I didn’t expect when I arrived here. I’m not positively or negatively surprised with the pace we are showing.

“We just have to make sure that we find a bit more pace, but at the moment we are definitely lacking a bit to fight up front.”

Liam Lawson admits he’s ‘too slow’

On the other side of the Red Bull garage, Lawson has the uneenviable task of improving at a rate that makes him worthy of the seat alongside Verstappen.

A tall order for any driver and undoubtedly Lawson will need time to get to grips with the RB21.

The New Zealander finished 17th in FP2 and six tenths back from his team-mate, admitting the need to improve.

“[I’m] comfortable [in the car] – just too slow,” he said. 

“We obviously have a lot of work to do overnight.

“Day one, on a new track, we were expecting to have some work to do, but probably not this much. 

“We’ll work on it overnight and then try and improve it for tomorrow.”

Explaining the issues, Lawson said, “In general, just grip when we need to use it on that short run, but then in general our long run pace was slow as well. We’ll work on it.”

Lewis Hamilton was buoyed by his journey of discovery with Ferrari on the opening day of practice for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.

Friday was a pivotal moment for Hamilton as he drove out of the Ferrari pit garage for the first time on a GP weekend, another milestone ticked off in his new F1 surroundings.

After 12 seasons with Mercedes, becoming a Ferrari driver is still taking some getting used to for Hamilton and that includes acclimatising behind the wheel of the SF-25.

That adaptation resulted in a deficit to Charles Leclerc across both practice sessions at the Albert Park circuit on Friday, six tenths and four tenths in FP1 and 2 respectively.

Hamilton acknowledged post-FP2 that his Ferrari feels completely different to anything he’s driven at the Australian GP, but is relishing the experience.

“Super exciting build-up to this week and it felt amazing to get out there and be in a Ferrari here,” he began. 

“Honestly, the car felt so much different to what I’ve ever experienced coming to this track. 

“So it took a little bit of bedding in through FP1. 

“FP2 was definitely a little better, but we’re slowly building and getting a little bit faster bit by bit.”

Asked to clarify what the differences between Mercedes and Ferrari were at Albert Park, Hamilton said “Just different, just a lot different. But the car doesn’t feel bad or anything. 

“It just requires a different way of driving, so adjusting my driving style bit by bit, but enjoying driving.”

Ferrari bow reminiscent of McLaren debut – Hamilton

Speaking ahead of his Ferrari bow in Australia, Hamilton revealed that his feelings were akin to his F1 debut with McLaren, 18 years ago.

“I’ve had this amazing career here in Formula 1,” he said. 

“Starting with McLaren here in 2007 was an epic feeling and then starting with a new team again with Mercedes was, again, incredible. 

“I think this is very reminiscent of my first year. 

“Over the years, I’ve gone up and down the paddock looking at the red garage, and now I’m actually in the red garage. So it’s a really nice feeling.”

Before turning a wheel in anger during practice, Hamilton had some positive words to say of his Ferrari, and looks forward to growing with his new team throughout the course of the season.

“We’ve only had three days in the car, but it’s difficult to know where we stand with everyone else,” he said.

“We’re just trying to keep our heads down and focus on our job. 

“I’m itching to get going. It’s been a long time coming, and to think that this is going to be my first Grand Prix—one of those other firsts with the team—as I experience that all through the year, it’s pretty special. 

“I feel very honoured and very grateful to have the opportunity.”

Prema Racing driver Gabriele Mini clinched pole position for the opening Formula 2 Feature Race of 2025 after setting the fastest time at the Albert Park circuit.

ART Grand Prix racing driver Victor Martins qualified in second, with Jak Crawford finishing in third.

The Frenchman was the quickest driver in an interrupted Free Practice session to kick start the 2025 F2 season.

Alex Dunne, Oliver Goethe, Arvid Lindblad and Amaury Cordeel all suffered separate incidents in the opening session of the season.

Heading into Qualifying, a scandal involving six drivers had already seen multiple grid penalties handed out for both the Sprint Race and the Feature Race.

Crawford and Kush Maini from DAMS Lucas Oil, Cordeel and Dunne from Rodin Motorsport, plus Trident duo Sami Meguetounif and Max Esterson have been handed 10-place grid penalties.

The penalties were handed out after the three teams involved were found guilty of having an air pressure sensor installed by drilling spec parts to illegally measure aerodynamic loads in pre-season testing.

It allowed the teams to gather data illegally that other teams wouldn’t have.

Moving onto the action on track, Martins set the early pace with a 1:31.012s as contact between Goethe and Esterson occurred at Turn 13.

The American-British racing driver lost a part of his front wing after making contact with the MP Motorsport car.

Mini and Leonardo Fornaroli set lap times good enough for second and third, keeping Martins on his toes.

Soon after, his provisional pole position was snatched by multiple drivers.

First up, Joshua Durksen for AIX Racing momentarily went quickest before Martins improved, however, Crawford then set a fastest lap time of 1:30.184s.

Mini improved with a lap time of 1:30.178s to go quickest before Fornaroli shot up into first place.

The Invicta Racing driver improved once again with a lap time of 1:29.948s as he led from Mini in second, Crawford in third, Martins in fourth and Verschoor rounding off the top five with just over 10 minutes to go.

Lindblad for Campos Racing was struggling down in 16th place, as well as Sebastian Montoya down in 19th for Prema.

With the grid heading out for their final runs, Luke Browning improved to go into fourth before Martins regained provisional pole with a 1:29.523s.

Crawford narrowly missed out on beating Martins, as the American was 0.064s off his time.

Lindblad finally set a competitive time to go into sixth before others improved.

Mini went up into third, but his lap time was set during yellow flags in the final sector as his fellow Alpine junior Kush Maini spun in the DAMS car.

However, the Italian racing driver improved once again to go fastest with a lap time of 1:29.286s.

Verschoor initially went third before Mini went quicker to take pole position right as the session reached its conclusion.

With the chequered flag waved, Fornaroli went for a spin, but it was the man who finished runner-up to him in last season’s Formula 3 Championship who would go on to claim pole position.

Mini will start the first Feature Race of the season from pole with Martins in second place.

Crawford qualified in third but will start further back due to his grid penalty.

Verschoor set a lap time good enough for fourth place, and Dunne improved late on to go into fifth place, completing the top five.

Invicta’s Roman Stanek finished sixth, Dino Beganovic seventh for Hitech with his team-mate Browning in eighth.

Durksen finished in ninth, and the reigning F3 World Champion Fornaroli rounded off the top 10 to secure reverse-grid pole position for the Sprint Race.

Aston Martin has started using its new state-of-the-art Formula 1 wind tunnel which could prove to be a game changer for the midfield outfit.

The effects of moving into a new wind tunnel can be profound on an F1 team.

For instance, McLaren moved into its wind tunnel in October 2023 and was unique among the 10 F1 teams last year in that it practically had no correlation issues between aerodynamic testing and on-track results en route to a Constructors’ title.

That was an issue for Aston Martin last year and the team will be hoping its new wind tunnel will benefit the development of the AMR25, although its primary function will be in aiding the creation of next year’s car, which it hopes will challenge for championships.

Moreover, Aston Martin now becomes the technology leader in the wind tunnel space.

The team revealed that “the wind tunnel is housed in a 60,580m3 building that also includes the state-of-the-art additive manufacturing machines and model build area for the new highly sophisticated 60 per cent scale car models enabling rapid development and better operational efficiencies.”

Aston Martin CEO and Team Principal Andy Cowell said: “Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the creation of our own wind tunnel facility at the AMRTC.

“The task of bringing together external partners and new in-house technology working hand in glove to such tight deadlines is impressive.

“The facility provides new technology that enables the aerodynamicists to observe in greater detail the complex flow physics of an F1 car. 

“To have everything here under one roof is extremely beneficial for us as we work towards being a fully operational works team from 2026.”

In-house F1 wind tunnel will improve Aston Martin efficiency

Before Thursday’s announcement, Aston Martin used the Mercedes wind tunnel in nearby Brackley, just a short drive from its Silverstone base, but having its new facility on site will greatly improve efficiency.

Cowell spoke of the importance of bringing everything in house and how that will impact efficiency and understanding for Aston Martin.

“It’s been a big project,” he said. “Lots of people working on it, so it’s great to see it’s now our nominated wind tunnel and doing development work and it’s got some great technology in it, great technology in the measurement systems and within the model that goes within the tunnel. 

“And just having everything together in one location, the aerodynamicists don’t even need to put a coat on to go to the wind tunnel, they just walk through, whereas before it was loading the model into a van and down a bumpy dual carriageway and hoping it was still in the same condition when you took it out the van at the other end. 

“So from an efficiency but also the challenge that everybody has of trying to understand what goes on with the aerodynamics on track compared with a wind tunnel, compared with CFD, those three worlds that the aerodynamicists battle with, we believe that this new wind tunnel gives us greater understanding, greater mechanisms for understanding the flow physics of the streams going over the car.”

The Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy talent Rafael Camara set the fastest time in Formula 3 qualifying to clinch pole position at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.

Trident secured a front-row lockout with Noah Stromsted finishing in second and Theophile Nael in the Van Amersfoort Racing car qualified in third.

His team-mate Santiago Ramos finished 12th to secure pole position for the Sprint Race on Saturday.

The 2025 F3 season kicked off with Free Practice earlier as Camara set the fastest time ahead of the other 29 drivers.

This year signifies the beginning of a new era for the junior category, featuring a newly designed car to enhance driver development while prioritising affordability, safety, and sustainability.

In collaboration with Aramco, 2025 will also see the introduction of a 100% advanced sustainable fuel to be used throughout the championship.

Pirelli have brought larger 16-inch tyres for the upcoming season, aimed at helping the young stars learn to manage tyres in advance for Formula 2 and Formula 1.

This season, 13 drivers return after a full-length campaign in 2024, with MP Motorsport’s Tim Tramnitz being the highest-ranked driver from last year after finishing ninth in the Drivers’ Standings.

With plenty of rookies on the grid, a 30-minute session ensued to set the grid for both the Sprint Race and the Feature Race.

Roman Bilinski in the Rodin Motorsport car set the early pace with a 1:36.125s before Stromsted went 0.227s quicker to top the timing sheets early on.

Nikita Bedrin, who only found out he would be competing in the first round a week before the season opener, went fastest with a 1:35.873 for the AIX Racing team.

Campos’ Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Prema racing driver Ugo Ugochukwu went third and fourth, respectively, in the opening stages of qualifying.

Frenchman Nael went quickest with a lap time of 1:35.566s.

With just over 10 minutes to go, none of the three MP Motorsport drivers had set a representative lap time, which included Tramnitz.

The German racing driver set a 1:35.825s to take himself into the top five before Camara went over half a second quicker than Nael to take provisional pole with a 1:34.999s.

Stromsted matched the Brazillian with a fastest sector one but could only place his car in second, 0.129s off pole.

Charlie Wurz for Trident set a lap time good enough for sixth place with a lap time of 1:35.839s.

Prema’s Brando Badoer, coming out on Turn 1, lost the rear of the car on the astro turf, sending him spinning into the barrier and bringing out the red flag with just over five minutes to go.

With the session brought to a halt, there were notable absences from the top 10 included Laurens Van Hoepen in the ART Grand Prix car down in 17th and Campos’ Mari Boya all the way down in 24th.

As the session resumed, Nael suffered a huge blow as his team informed him that the cooler had been left on the car as he tried to limp back towards the pits.

Christian Ho brought out another red flag as he came to a stop in the DAMS Lucas Oil car with just over 2 minutes left in the session.

However, the stewards announced that qualifying would not be resumed as Camara followed up on his earlier pace in practice to take pole position for the Feature Race.

Stromsted finished second ahead of Nael in third after his late incident in the session did not prove costly.

Bedrin secured fourth, Tramnitz in fifth in front of Wurz in sixth place.

Inthraphuvasak ended in seventh place ahead of Ugochukwu in eighth.

Martinius Stenshorne qualified in ninth for Hitech, and Bilinski rounded off the top ten with Ramos securing reverse-grid pole for the Sprint Race.

Alpine racing driver Jack Doohan has avoided questions surrounding his future in Formula 1 amidst Helmut Marko’s latest brutal assessment of the rookie.

Marko ranked all of the ‘rookies’, including Doohan, in a recent interview with the Red Bull-owned television channel Servus TV.

The senior advisor for the Milton Keynes-based team believes the Australian is the weakest newcomer to F1, suggesting that Alpine may dismiss him before the end of the season.

“He is a ‘C’,” the Austrian replied when asked to grade the 22-year-old.

“I don’t think he will complete the season.”

This isn’t the first time Marko has expressed how he was left unimpressed with Doohan’s skills as a racing driver.

Back in January, he mentioned that he expected more from Doohan’s F1 debut in Abu Dhabi.

The former Formula 2 graduate has faced questions about his future throughout the off-season, even though he has yet to compete in a Grand Prix in 2025.

Franco Colapinto was signed to Alpine as its reserve driver at the start of the year, with reports suggesting he could replace Doohan during the season.

Team supervisor Flavio Briatore insisted that the Enstone-based squad would stick with the Aussie for the start of the season, but he added: “After that, we will see.”

In response to the outside noise, Doohan said how he chooses to ignore the paddock gossip, ahead of his home race – the Australian Grand Prix.

“I haven’t been thinking about any of that because, as you all know, there’s no point thinking about rumours or commenting on them,” he told media including Motorsport Week.

“But I have a contract for at least this year, if not more.

“So, I look forward to many home grands prix.”

Doohan: ‘I’m going to enjoy every race as if it’s my last’

The Gold Coast-born racing driver went on to point out how he has four drivers after his seat on the grid, as Alpine recently hired Kush Maini to its reserve drivers list alongside Colapinto, Paul Aron and Ryo Hirakawa.

But whilst there is more competition for Doohan, he insists that his focus remains on enjoying every second of his time in the Alpine car.

“And the uncertainties? You don’t bother worrying about them,” he added.

“I have to perform each and every time I’m in the car.

“I have one guy chasing my seat, but we actually have four now, if you didn’t realise, we have four reserves.

“You have all four of them, not just Franco, [who] probably wants my seat and if not, Pierre’s [Gasly] as well.

“And I wanted their seats while I was reserve driver the last two years.

“So, I’m going to enjoy, to be honest, every race as if it’s my last because I want to enjoy each and every moment I’m in the car.”

Aston Martin CEO and Team Principal Andy Cowell has revealed the Silverstone-based Formula 1 squad is already benefitting from the Adrian Newey effect.

Newey set up office at Aston Martin’s Silverstone campus on March 3 in his new role as Managing Technical Partner.

Aston Martin is hedging its bets that Newey’s design genius will pay dividends as he’s been set to work pushing development of the team’s 2026 challenger. 

Despite only being at the team for just 10 days, Cowell told select media including Motorsport Week ahead of the Australian Grand Prix that Newey is having a profound impact.

“Adrian’s been with us for 10 days now, I think, his first day was very low key,” Cowell began. 

“He’s an engineer, he’s walked in, he’s picking up the 2026 regulations, understanding those regulations, getting into the detail of the work that we’ve been doing, understanding that, contributing to ideas, [using] the drawing board. 

“I guess drawing boards don’t need firing up, do they? They don’t need plugging in, they just work and it’s a joy to work with Adrian.”

Cowell revels in Newey’s ‘vast’ F1 experience

Newey has been designing championship-winning F1 cars for over three decades and his knowledge has been a boon at Aston Martin.

More so than that, but Newey has already pinpointed areas where Aston Martin can improve development of its 2026 machine.

“His experience is vast, his hunger is huge,” Cowell said of his new colleague. 

“And it’s just wonderful conversations about making fast race cars and the compromises that you have to make, the trade offs that you need to make, and building up good working relationships with the engineers that have been pushing the concept to date. 

“There’s already a few areas, I’m smiling to myself, I won’t give you the detail, because I don’t want our opponents to know, but you know, there’s a couple of areas where already he’s saying, ‘can we just push that in this direction? Can we just do that?’ 

“And engineers, you know, mechanical engineers, composite engineers, are looking at it and going,’ yeah, okay, we’ll have a go’ and I think that’s the Adrian effect. 

“He picks up on the areas where you should push them and everybody’s just embracing it.”

How Newey’s work is integrating at Aston Martin

Aston Martin has pinpointed 2026 as its opportunity to elevate its standing to the front of the F1 field.

The regulations next year are changing across powertrains, aerodynamics, chassis and tyres, which poses the opportunity for any of the 10 teams to capitalise.

Newey enacted a similar turn of fortune at Red Bull after a dramatic rule change between the 2008 and ‘09 seasons that prompted a prosperous run for his former employer.

Such is Aston’s focus on 2026, Cowell revealed that “So far, [Newey’s] focus has been entirely on the 26 car, busy drawing layouts on the 26 car.” 

Another important part of Newey’s work at Aston Martin is his famous drawing board method.

Newey is famed for hand-drawing his F1 design concepts, holding on to what some may call an antiquated technique given CAD (Computer Aided Design) has ruled the roost for decades now.

But as Cowell explained, whatever the method, the importance is communicating ideas so that they can be produced.

“I guess it’s whether it’s a drawing board, whether it’s CAD, it’s taking creative 3D thoughts that are in your head, and communicating it to colleagues,” Cowell said. 

“We all know how to read drawings. The screen’s 2D in CAD, although you can rotate to observe in 3D. 

“Adrian’s drawing prowess is such that he draws sections so that you can see it in 3D and the world of aerodynamics works with pure aerodynamicists and also people that create 3D surfaces. 

“So they’re experts in creating beautiful surfaces in the world of 3D. It’s just bringing all of that together and it’s having the flexibility to work with different media to download the creative thoughts in a human brain and collaborate together. 

“It’s a big team of people. The aerodevelopment world isn’t one person. It’s this group of people communicating.”
