The new Ferrari combination of Lewis Hamilton and Riccardo Adami made the airwaves and headlines during and after Formula 1’s 2025 Australian Grand Prix. But they were far from the only new driver/race engineer combo making a high-profile bow in Melbourne.
There was Richard Wood and Liam Lawson at Red Bull, Aston Martin's Andrew Vizard and Fernando Alonso, Josh Peckett and Jack Doohan for Alpine, Laura Mueller and Esteban Ocon, plus Ronan O'Hare and Oliver Bearman, at Haas. Pierre Hamelin and Isack Hadjar for Racing Bulls, Gaetan Jego and Carlos Sainz at Williams, as well as Sauber's Steven Petrik and Nico Hulkenberg, plus Jose Manuel Lopez and Gabriel Bortoleto.
