The 2025 Formula 1 season kicked off with a bang at the Australian Grand Prix, where Lando Norris showcased his skills by topping the first practice session. With a stunning lap time of 1:17.252s, he emerged 0.149s ahead of Carlos Sainz, who seemed to be fitting in nicely at Williams after his switch from Ferrari.
A Rocky Start for Oliver Bearman
However, the session wasn’t all smooth sailing. British rookie Oliver Bearman faced a significant setback, suffering a big crash that left fans concerned about his debut performance.

Finishing in 12th place, he lagged six-tenths behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, who managed to secure a respectable third position. As the team transitions into the new season, it’s evident that Hamilton will need to acclimate quickly if he aims to contend with the likes of Norris and Sainz.
