F1 2025: Missed and Accurate Predictions, Analysis After the Break

Analysis of Bold Predictions in the 2025 Formula 1 Season

Formula 1, like most sports, is a universe of expectations and predictions. Before the start of the 2025 season, a wave of enthusiasm was generated around the unpredictability of the championship. Now, it’s time to evaluate how those predictions unfolded. Here, at Alofoke Deportes, we present a detailed analysis.

Is Verstappen Out of Red Bull?

“If Red Bull’s problems in 2024 were to extend to 2025, or if doubts about the partnership with Ford grew, other teams would smell blood… Max Verstappen could see a perfect moment for a change of scenery.”

This prediction, although it did not materialize, came close to being accurate. Verstappen’s future dominated the summer rumors due to Red Bull’s problems. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff saw an opportunity to lure the driver away from Red Bull, but Verstappen’s position in the championship prevented it. This idea could resurface if Red Bull doesn’t show its best performance at the start of next season.

Leclerc with Two Victories Before Hamilton?

“Hamilton should win many races for Ferrari, but a slow start compared to Charles Leclerc seems a fair prediction, considering where both drivers are in their first year as teammates.”

While Hamilton achieved a victory in a sprint race, neither he nor Leclerc have won a Grand Prix. Leclerc, with a superior performance to Hamilton for most of the season, seems to be in a more favorable position to capitalize on victory opportunities. If Ferrari achieves victories, the prediction could come true, with Leclerc as the main candidate to achieve it.

Is Piastri Leading the Championship Before the Summer Break?

“If Oscar Piastri can solve his inconsistency problem, expect to see the exciting Australian demonstrating his credentials as a championship-pedigree driver.”

Total hit! Piastri stayed nine points ahead of Lando Norris before the summer break. His consistency has been key, while Norris has had errors that have affected his performance.

Piastri has proven to be a formidable competitor, while Norris has struggled with the pressure. Piastri is likely to stay on top at the end of the season.

Will Alonso be on the Podium with Aston Martin?

“If that happens, Fernando Alonso is exactly the man you want in the seat.”

Alonso has not managed to get on the podium, and Aston Martin has remained in the middle of the grid. A significant change seems unlikely, although the team has a top-level technical team with their sights set on 2026.

Will a Rookie Win a Race?

“Kimi Antonelli seems like the kind of special talent who could make a name for himself immediately.”

The situation changed drastically with Liam Lawson’s departure from Red Bull. Antonelli has shown flashes of his potential, but Mercedes’ only victory was for George Russell, with Antonelli achieving his first podium. If Mercedes achieves a victory, it would be hard to imagine it not being Russell who achieved it.
