Aussie rookies shine in wet race previews as reigning champion Verstappen struggles in 2025 F1 season opener.

In Short

The 2025 Formula 1 season began with strong performances from Australian drivers, particularly Oscar Piastri, while reigning champion Max Verstappen struggled. Rain is expected on race day, intensifying the competitive midfield as teams prepare for potential challenges.

The 2025 Formula 1 season kicked off with promising performances from Australian drivers, but reigning champion Max Verstappen struggled. In second practice, Oscar Piastri finished second, ahead of teammate Lando Norris but behind Charles Leclerc from Ferrari.

Rain is expected on race day, and teams are challenged by contrasting qualifying conditions. Norris had the fastest time in FP1 but shifted to a more downforce-heavy setup for FP2 to prepare for the wet conditions.

Rookie Jack Doohan showed potential by outperforming veteran teammate Pierre Gasly in both practice sessions. Other drivers like Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar also made strong showings, while Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon showed promise for Williams.

Verstappen finished seventh in FP2, just ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and expressed the need for improvement. His new teammate Liam Lawson acknowledged the slow pace during their runs.

In Mercedes, George Russell reported similar issues with soft tires. Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari, is still adjusting to his new car, lagging behind Leclerc.

As the weekend progresses, the Australian fans hope for a strong showing from Piastri, viewed as a potential podium contender. The competitive nature of the midfield was evident, with several teams showcasing the possibility of breaking into the top ranks. Practice 3 and qualifying are set to occur before the race, with significant implications for the teams.

Crude oil surges 7% amid fears of Middle East conflict; Strait of Hormuz disruptions may push Brent over $100.

Crude oil prices spiked dramatically as investors react to the growing risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East. U.S. crude surged 7.2 percent, trading near $71.84 a barrel, signalling heightened concern across energy markets.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint, has come under intense scrutiny. Rising war-risk insurance premiums and suspended tanker traffic are already slowing the movement of oil, creating ripple effects in global supply chains.

JPMorgan has warned that prolonged disruptions over three weeks could force Gulf producers to reduce output, potentially pushing Brent crude prices to between $100 and $120 a barrel. Markets are closely watching for developments that could reshape global energy pricing.
