Summary

Edd Straw is joined by Samarth Kanal and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss F1's rookie class of 2025. Can Mercedes new boy Kimi Antonelli live up to the sky-high expectations? And why is there so much excitement about a driver who only finished sixth in Formula 2 last year? Ollie Bearman has impressed in a handful of F1 races already, but how will he get on now he's with Haas full time? The potential for Jack Doohan's Alpine stint to be cut short by the presence of Franco Colapinto is also looked into, along with the prospects of F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber. And with Red Bull promoting Liam Lawson - who we don't consider a rookie given his 11 starts over two seasons - the chances of the fifth and final 2025 rookie - Isack Hadjar - making good on his promise amid question marks about his approach are also evaluated.
