Chaos? Chaos.

The 2025 season, aka: the season we spent all of 2024 discussing) is shaping up to be a wild one, so let's dive in to both our full 2025 season predictions and our predictions for the 2025 Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix.

Featuring our five (or six, depending on how you count Liam Lawson) rookies, which teams we expect to do well and disappoint, who we think is in the running for the World Driver's and Constructors championships, and more.

Drive To Survive Spoilers ahead!

The 2025 F1 Season is coming up, which means it's time to relive 2024 through the Netflix juggernaut, Drive To Survive.

But...was what we saw on DTS...accurate?

Sure it showed McLaren beating out Ferrari for the Constructor's Championship and Max Verstappen winning his fourth World Driver's Championship, but...did the seventh season miss some key points? Or even...manufacture drama that didn't actually happen.

Of course it did! It's Netflix. They live for the drama, whether it's real or not!

So tune in for the context you missed, our thoughts on what we liked, and what we'd like to see Netflix include in season 8 and beyond.

Is Jack Doohan's F1 career over before it really starts? Flavio Briatore signing Franco Colapinto to a multi-year reserve driver contract speaks to...well, probably a big fat yes.

Unlike the last offseason, where we had about eight million things to discuss between the Guenther Steiner firing at Haas and Lewis Hamilton's shock move to Ferrari, this offseason is...a lot quieter.

So we're going to discuss Alpine, even though we really don't want to, and also Jos Verstappen clearing up that one Max Verstappen rumor, and how Kathryn was totally right about what F1 is going to do with its future calendars.

2025 is here, but here's one last video about 2024:

Our favorite alternate helmets (and liveries) from the 2024 F1 season.

From Alex Albon's ICONIC Panda Helmet to Fernando Alonso's 400th race tribute from the Mexico GP to Daniel Ricciardo's pancakes and syrup helmet from Canada and even Max Verstappen's 4-time World Champion helmet, there are TONS of alternate helmets up and down the grid that we loved.

(And a few that were just...helmets the drivers wore).

Shoutout to F1HLM for compiling all the 2024 Helmets in one graphic: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1hbx90h/compilation_of_2024_formula_1_helmet_designs_of/

Of course, who can forget some of the most iconic liveries of 2024:

-VCARB's Miami Livery

-VCARB's Jeans Livery

-VCARB's Glitter Livery

Oh yeah, and Alpine had some...notable alternate liveries too.

The countdown is on for the 2025 Livery Reveals on Feb. 18!

It may have taken Formula 1 almost a full year, but we finally have a complete grid for the 2025 season, featuring:

-Sergio Perez..taking a step back from full-time driver duties

-Liam Lawson getting the promotion from Racing Bulls over Yuki Tsunoda

-And F2 Vice Champion Isack Hadjar getting the nod for the final seat on the grid

And we have SO many thoughts.

And that is the 2024 Formula 1 season in the books!

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix wasn't the most exciting race, but Max Verstappen tangling with Oscar Piastri at turn 1 did give us some intrigue as Ferrari tried to take the Constructors title that ultimately went to McLaren for the first time since 1998.

Kathryn and Emily also discuss:

-Lewis Hamilton's emotional final race with Mercedes

-Max Verstappen is about to become a father...and he's about to do that community service out in Rwanda this week

-The moment that foreshadowed Oscar Piastri's future driver's title?

-Pierre Gasly helping Alpine to its shock P6 finish (and the team's icky separation from Esteban Ocon)

-Nico Hulkenberg helping Haas to its best season since 2018 in his final race with the American outfit

-What could possibly be next for Valtteri Bottas

-The Checo Perez of it all, and when we should expect to hear about the fate of that second Red Bull seat

-The wild final F1 Academy of the season

-And more
