Albert Park Circuit hosts the opening race of the Formula 1 2025 season.

Steve Jones, Mark Webber, Billy Monger and Ariana Bravo present Qualifying Highlights for the third F1 weekend on the calendar - the Japanese Grand Prix.

Steve Jones presents highlights, with Mark Webber, Billy Monger and Ariana Bravo. 

Lee McKenzie is joined by David Coulthard and Lawrence Barretto for highlights of Qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix, the fourth race of the season. McLaren have looked like the team to beat so far. Can they be challenged here?

This is Yuki Tsunoda's second race for his new team Red Bull, after he and Liam Lawson swapped positions. Can he contribute to the points and help his team to challenge McLaren's dominance?

Lee McKenzie is joined by David Coulthard, Billy Monger and Ariana Bravo for Qualifying highlights from Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has been on the calendar since 2021 and is the fastest street circuit ever seen in Formula 1. Its average speed is a whopping 250kmh, and with the walls so close, even the tiniest mistake can mean an early bath. Only Red Bull and Mercedes have made it to pole position here. Will a third team achieve P1 in 2025? 

Welcome to the first street circuit of the 2025 season... and it's also the fastest!

Of the four races that have taken place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit since its introduction in 2021, Max Verstappen has won two of them. Will the four-time world champion be able to stand the heat and win another Saudi Grand Prix? Or will McLaren or perhaps Mercedes climb to the top of the podium? Surrounded by desert and city lights, it will be a hot race until the chequered flag. 

Formula 1 brings the party to Miami - starting strongly on the spectacular street track with Sprint Qualifying. Last year, Red Bull dominated with both cars in the top three. But with McLaren leading the championship by 77 points, they're the team to beat in 2025.

But the majority of fans here will be dressed in red because this is of course a home race for Ferrari. Their factory is around 100 miles away - less than half an hour in an F1 car! The Tifosi's expectations will be high for their team to deliver. But McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes will be out to spoil the party.
