Few sports capture the exhilaration of nations like Formula One. From blistering battles down the straight to canny moves in the corners, the biggest motorsport carnival in the world is back again for another thrilling 2025 season.
The thrilling 2025 F1 campaign took another fascinating twist in Las Vegas on Saturday. Max Verstappen maintained his resurgent form, claiming a fourth victory in the space of seven races. The Dutchman’s delight would turn into delirium a few hours later, though, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri stripped of their race points, as both McLaren cars were reported as having excessive skid-block wear. The result means Norris' lead at the top of the F1 standings remains at 24 points. Behind him, Verstappen has moved level with Oscar Piastri in second spot.
Verstappen, the 2023 & 2024 Lusail winner, may be rubbing his hands with glee, but so are Asian F1 fans, as for the second year in a row, the Qatar Grand Prix kicks off a sizzling season-ending double header. Following the Qatar action, the final race of 2025, the Abu Dhabi GP, takes place a week after, on December 7 at the Yas Marina Circuit.
The Qatar Grand Prix was held for the first time in November 2021 at the Lusail International Circuit. Due to the FIFA World Cup in 2022, it wouldn't return to the F1 schedule until 2023, but organisers did pen a deal to keep it in place for at least 10 years. The race is one of four night races on the Formula One calendar (Abu Dhabi is too), which makes the spectacle even more thrilling, with the lights illuminating the track and the skyline.
So, if you want to catch up with all the action, let GOAL guide you through where to watch the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and race.
What is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season?
The Qatar Grand Prix is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season, taking place on Sunday, November 30th. The teams will travel to the Lusail International Circuit, which is a motor racing circuit located just outside the city of Lusail, north of Doha, Qatar. The track is 5.4km in length, with a main straight that is 1km long. The track opened in 2004 and hosted the inaugural Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix in the same year. In 2007, permanent outdoor lighting was added, so the track could stage night races. The following year, the 2008 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix became the first ever night race in MotoGP history.
The first edition of the F1 Qatar Grand Prix was staged in 2021. Prior to the second edition of the Grand Prix in 2023, the circuit was upgraded and the capacity was increased from 8,000 to 52,000. Lando Norris currently holds the Lusail lap record, after clocking 1:22.384 in his McLaren during the 2024 Grand Prix.
