Between two drivers fighting, Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton are ready to enjoy: the eighth world title in F1 is a possibility. The forecasts favor Woking and Maranello, who, perhaps more than Red Bull, will be able to fight for the top of the championship standings. According to Jacques Villeneuve, however, McLaren will have to deal with the internal rivalry between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri: a great opportunity for the Prancing Horse.

While we still don't know the cars that will compete on the track, the paddock is already discussing predictions for the next season. McLaren could be ahead of everyone: Andrea Stella, after all, has already said that he wants to make 2025 "boring." The Papaya team starts with a good development package, but the competitors have not been idle.

For Ferrari, it will be an important season. Choosing when to concentrate all resources on 2026 will be a key factor in the world championship, but the opportunity is ripe to trouble Woking. With such a high-quality duo as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, it's forbidden to stop dreaming.

Villeneuve: “In 2025, I'm betting on Norris, but beware of Hamilton”
In an interview with Action Network, Jacques Villeneuve talks about the new season and gives his prediction: "The way 2024 ended, I would have bet a little more on Lando and McLaren. The problem will be the internal battle between him and Oscar Piastri. McLaren has not handled and will not handle the situation well, and the two drivers will eat up each other’s points."

"Lando should be the natural protagonist of the championship battle. But the internal battle and the fact that McLaren doesn't seem to manage this internal rivalry very well could make it fall more into the hands of Lewis, given how Ferrari ended last season."
