We had a three-driver title showdown in 2025, the first time since 2010 that more than two drivers were still in contention at the final race.

Back then, 15 years ago, Sebastian Vettel came out on top.

He and Red Bull went on to dominate the sport, winning both titles for four consecutive seasons.

But after those highs came some more difficult times.

And when I sat down with Sebastian, he'd been away from the sport for three years, and he'd clearly been thinking a lot about his F1 career.

after consecutive years with the exact same grid.

2025 was the year of the rookie.

Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoletto, Isaac Hadjar, Jack Doohan and Oli Behrmann all kicked off their first full seasons in Formula One at the Australian Grand Prix.

Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto after only five races at Alpine, but Kimi, Gabriel, Isaac and Oli all impressed over the 24 race season.

But it was Kimi and Isaac who reached their first major milestones.

And the third youngest Formula One podium finisher is Kimi Antonelli, climbing onto a podium for the first time in just his 10th race in Formula One.

Oh, my God.

Oh my god.

What a sentence this is!

Isaac Hajar, you are P3!

He is heading to the podium!

Oh my goodness!
