Formula 1's Record-Breaking 2025 Season In Numbers


Formula 1 celebrated its 75th anniversary with a record-breaking 2025 season with a growing fanbase, increased race attendance and a box office hit.

Formula 1 celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2025 – and it was a season that kept setting new benchmarks.

Lando Norris sealed his first Drivers’ Championship, McLaren claimed consecutive Teams’ Championships, and the title fight reached the final race with three drivers still in contention — the closest finish to a championship battle in 15 years.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the Presidency of orchestrating a plot to destabilise the growing opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.   The party's claim comes amid internal legal and political challenges, including a suit filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja by three aggrieved members seeking to sack the Senator David Mark-led interim leadership of the party.   Amid these developments, the immediate past national chairman of the ADC, Ralph Nwosu, warned that the newly formed opposition coalition could collapse under the pressure of conflicting interests and rival political factions if not carefully managed.   Meanwhile, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, announced his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
