The 2025 Formula 1 championship features ten teams, each with a unique blend of heritage, innovation, and adaptation. While some squads trace their roots to the earliest days of motorsport, others are newer entrants reshaping the sport’s landscape. Here’s a focused look at their identities and roles in the current era. 1. Scuderia Ferrari – The Eternal Icon - Established: 1950 (ever-present in F1). - 2025 Status: The sport’s most storied team, balancing tradition with modern engineering. - Key Fact: Still the only team to compete in every F1 season, though their last title came in 2008 (Constructors’) and 2007 (Drivers’). 2. Mercedes-AMG Petronas – Engineering Excellence - Modern Era: Returned in 2010 after a 55-year absence. - 2025 Focus: Adapting to post-dominance challenges after their hybrid-era supremacy. - Notable Shift: Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2024 marked the end of an era.

9. Haas F1 – The American Experiment - Debuted: 2016. - 2025 Approach: Ferrari-powered, focusing on efficiency over massive budgets. - Reality: Often punching above weight but limited by resources. 10. Visa Cash App RB – Red Bull’s Proving Ground - Past: Minardi → Toro Rosso → AlphaTauri → now a branded entity. - 2025 Purpose: Developing young talent for Red Bull Racing while serving sponsors. - Controversy: The 2024 rebrand drew criticism for commercializing the team’s identity.
