Winner – Lando NorrisRound Two: China (2024 – Saudi Arabia)China had been a favourite track of Lewis Hamilton’s over the years but suffered a nightmare return this year.After their opening race win, McLaren doubled down on their claim as the team to beat as Norris’ team-mate Oscar Piastri won race two.Winner – Oscar PiastriRound Three: Japan (2024 – Australia)Geographically, Japan after China makes the most sense. Norris and Piastri will have their eye on yet another win here, as McLaren have won nine times on this track.Last year’s winner: Max VerstappenRound Four: Bahrain (2024 – Japan)After the Covid crisis that shutdown the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, Bahrain had taken over number one spot on the F1 calendar.This one could be a match made in heaven for Hamilton, who has won the GP the most times, while Ferrari have the most constructors wins here.Last year’s winner: Max VerstappenRound Five: Saudi Arabia (2024 – China)This circuit has only been on the F1 calendar for four years, and was part of the controversial brake checking incident between Verstappen and Hamilton in 2021.Last year’s winner: Max VerstappenRound Six: Miami (2024 – Miami)Miami is one of THREE USA races on the F1 calendar, and has been part of the F1 calendar for three years. Lando Norris will be looking forward to this one, as he picked up his maiden F1 victory here last year.Last year’s winner: Lando NorrisRound Seven: Imola (2024 – Imola)Imola, or Emilia-Romagna, has a special place in every F1 fan’s heart.

The British driver has a staggering nine wins there over his career, including last year, when he looked out of form.Last year also saw a very popular qualifying session, as George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris came first, second and third in qualifying.Last year’s winner: Lewis Hamilton Round 13: Belgium (2024 – Hungary)Spa has been on the F1 calendar for over 80 years. Despite this, in 2028 and 2030, F1 fans will have to go without Spa, as it drops of the calendar.Last year’s winner: Lewis HamiltonRound 14: Hungary (2024 – Belgium)The McLaren garage was the place to avoid after the 2024 Hungarian GP, as Lando Norris had been leading, and extending his advantage to Piastri in second, but was forced to give up the lead.Piastri had been leading earlier in the race, but McLaren decided the race win belonged to him after Norris took the lead.Last year’s winner: Oscar PiastriRound 15: Netherlands (2024 – Netherlands)Max Verstappen’s home track often sees the crowd filled with shirts of orange, but it was the orange of McLaren who broke their hearts in 2024.Last year’s winner: Lando NorrisRound 16: Monza (2024 – Monza)Ferrari have typically dominated their home race, winning it 21 times.
