F1 Australian GP 2025: Weather forecast for Formula 1 race weekend

The new F1 season is nearly underway!

The new season of Formula 1 (F1) is around the corner, and this time, they’ll be kicking off with the Australian Grand Prix as their season opener. With Melbourne being the first destination on the calendar, we’ll get to see the all-new grid racing at Albert Park this weekend. 

Since 2019, this year will be the first time the F1 circus will open at the Australian GP and not Bahrain.

While coming back to the race stats, considering where we left off last season, this season is going to be nothing but a fiercer and even more drama-packed season. Especially after looking at some glimpses from the pre-season testing with all new cars on the same track.
