Formula 1: A Novel on Wheels
The writers behind Netflix’s Drive to Survive should be grateful for the current Formula 1 season. It is doing much of their work for them — the drama and plot twists are writing themselves in a year defined by sweeping change and bold new protagonists.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, Oliver Bearman, and Jack Doohan are the defining new names of the 2025 season — young talents who are collectively reshaping the grid.
Lewis Hamilton made the move of the decade, departing Mercedes to sign with Ferrari, while Red Bull navigates a difficult recovery that only Max Verstappen has been able to contain in the wake of the turbulence surrounding Christian Horner’s exit. Amid it all, the Mexican driver Checo Pérez has kept the machinery running — and with Cadillac set to join Formula 1 in 2026, Checo shows no signs of stepping back. “Never Give Up.”
From October 24 to 26, the Mexico City Grand Prix returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez — one of the most anticipated rounds on the calendar. Steeped in drama, animated by fresh faces, and backed by impeccable organization, the engines are ready to roar.
