The 2025 Formula 1 campaign is only a quarter of the way through, yet a lot of focus and energy is already being directed towards what comes next.

Work has been under way for a long time at all PU manufacturers, including Ford, which has teamed up with Red Bull Powertrains in a new facility in Milton Keynes.
