F1 season: Full race schedule for 2025
Lewis Hamilton made his debut for Ferrari at Albert Park in Melbourne, which last hosted the first race of the season in 2019 after Covid put paid to the 2020 opener.
Australia staged the first race of the season on Sunday 16 March - two weeks later than the 2024 start date.
Bahrain has hosted the first race of the season since 2021, following on from pre-season testing at the same track in Sakhir, but has moved to April due to Ramadan.
Saudi has also moved to April, with China and Japan being shifted forward a month to races two and three respectively.
The 24-race season will finish in Abu Dhabi on 7 December. The 2025 British Grand Prix takes place on 4-6 July at Silverstone.
Pre-season testing will remain in Bahrain, two weeks prior to the first race, with three days of running on 26-28 February.
For the second year running, there will be no new races on the schedule. 2026 is set to be different, though, with Madrid already confirmed as the new home of the Spanish Grand Prix, meaning 2025 could be the last year Barcelona hosts an F1 race.
Other calendar alterations include a triple-header in April between Japan-Bahrain-Saudi, while Spain has moved forward three weeks to the end of May/start of June.
Belgium and Hungary have swapped weekends too, with Budapest now hosting the final race before the customary summer break.
This year sees a four-week gap in autumn but there will be no such space in the calendar next year, with just one week's rest in-between Singapore and Austin in October.

'A mammoth undertaking' - Lions' life on the road
Third Test: Australia v British and Irish LionsDate: Saturday 2 August Venue: Accor Stadium Kick-off: 11:00 BSTCoverage: Live text commentary and post-match analysis on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC iPlayer and online Boiling four nations down to one team, cooking up a gameplan in four weeks and getting to Test match temperature on enemy territory.A Lions tour is unique for players and for the team behind the team, a whistle-stop itinerary, vast distances and a host of unknowns also present a recipe for potential in Sydney for the tourists' final stop, Tom Day is one of the team to help avert it."This is a mammoth undertaking when you consider transporting a playing squad and backroom team to and from the southern hemisphere, and then around the touring country itself," says Day, the team's logistics manager. The Lions come with considerable baggage - almost 10 tonnes were brought to Australia with consists of four sets of identical training kits, which were then divided up and sent around Australia. Wherever the Lions arrive, they find a lorry container of equipment, including a scrum sled, on the side of the pitch to help them set was driven the 2,390 miles from Perth to Sydney, a distance equivalent to London to Siberia, to be in the right place at the right time. In total, the plan stretches to 53 separate truck journeys covering about 7,000 miles. "One set of kit will always be ahead of us and the sets of kit yo-yo around the country, so that when we leave one city, the arrival into the next city is already sorted as there is kit there and the hotels and training grounds are already set-up," explains is also part of an advance party that is one step ahead of the squad on the ground. Along with a member of the security team, Day makes sure any last-minute wrinkles that have cropped up since recce trips in September and January are ironed out before the players Saturday's third Test in Sydney, the Lions will head back home with a series win, but without their is being left in Australia and donated to local clubs and schools, rather than shipped back to Dublin.

Dallavalle enjoying life after captain's armband
Women's summer series: Australia v WalesVenue: North Sydney Oval Date: Friday, 1 August Kick-off: 10:00 BSTCoverage: Watch on BBC Sport online and BBC iPlayer, listen on Radio Wales, Radio Cymru and BBC Sounds. Hannah Dallavalle admits she was disappointed to be relieved of the Wales women captaincy, but is starting to enjoy a more relaxed role around camp. The 28-year-old took over the armband from Siwan Lillicrap at the 2022 Rugby World Cup, describing it as one of the "greatest honours" of her Test led Wales to a top three Six Nations finish in 2023, but two Wooden Spoon campaigns followed and a player contract dispute which almost forced her to coach Sean Lynn said he needed fresh leadership going into the Rugby World Cup and named Alex Callender and Kate Williams as said she was "disappointed to start" but is beginning to see life beyond the armband. "It has been a tough transition, people don't see what's happened behind closed doors," she said. "It was Lynny's decision to make that change, I had no control over it. It was a decision that I didn't take lightly but I'm working on myself, concentrating on my own performance and what I bring to the team."Unless you've done captaincy before, you don't really know what the demands of a captain are off the field, maybe that took a toll."I've definitely got more time now. I'm actually going out with the girls to the beach and stuff. "I'm still putting the work in for rugby, but I'm definitely much more relaxed off the field." One of Lynn's reasons to relieve Dallavalle was that he did not see the player he coached during his time in charge at Gloucester-Hartpury, but she said it is a difficult comparison to make as they are a different team."I don't know if I'm going to get a Gloucester-Hartpury performance in a Welsh shirt, you've got different people around you, different coaches, different environment," Dallavalle said, but is hopeful they can taste the same first win came last Saturday with Wales running out 21-12 winners in the first of two Tests against it was fitting that Dallavalle scored the decisive try in what was a statement win against a higher ranked team just four weeks out from the World Cup."I said to Lleucu [George] on the bus, 'set me up today, it's been a while' and she delivered, she was outstanding. It was her try really, I did the easy part of finishing it."Dallavalle was also full of praise for Callender who was outstanding on her captaincy debut. "Alex is a world class player, she leads by example and performed really well, I'm glad that she went well," she said. Last weekend's team sheet may have caused a few double takes as Dallavalle had continued to play under her maiden name Jones after getting married last said the decision to take her husband's name had nothing to do with losing the captaincy, it was pure coincidence."It's nothing exciting really. My passport was expiring and I didn't want to pay extra to change my name earlier, that's the real reason behind it," she joked."It was a nice little surprise for Deano because he didn't know whether I was going to take the Dallavalle name, but it was always in the pipeline. "It just happened to come at the time the captaincy changed and everyone thought it was because of that, but it's actually because I didn't want to pay to change my passport until it expired." Wales will have one final run out in Sydney before their World Cup opener against Scotland in Manchester on 23 August."The morale is really good, but we've still got to work hard and get our heads down ready for Friday because I'm sure Australia are going to come out and battle," added Dallavalle."It's an exciting week and we've got to back it up now."Dallavalle is eyeing her third World Cup, with Lynn set to announce his squad early next month."I'm only 28 so there could be another one if I keep going well," she said. "The growth in the game is brilliant, the support is unreal. It's probably the closest to home World Cup so it will be brilliant, it's just over the bridge for family and friends."

Frightening moment massive beast emerges from the water after four-wheel-drive tried to cross flooded weir
Shocking footage has emerged of a massive crocodile getting stuck underneath a ute at an infamous flooded crossing in the Northern Territory. Matteo Mastratisi filmed the terrifying incident while parked at one end of Cahills Crossing in Kakadu National Park on Sunday around 12pm. The Northern Territory resident had been waiting over two hours for the tide to go down to make the crossing himself when he spotted the driver of the black 4WD make a go for it. He explained the crocodile was not visible because the water was high. The footage showed the animal being dragged through the water as its jaw popped up by the vehicle's rear tyres. As the vehicle slowly drove through the water, it could be seen struggling to move forward while the huge reptile wrestled to get free. The driver edged forward onto the verge at the other side of the crossing before reversing slightly, allowing the crocodile to break free. On the right side of the ute, the crocodile poked his head up before rapidly swimming away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by |Matteo Mastratisi| (@matteo_mastratisi) 'You could see him hit a bump,' he told Yahoo News. 'You could definitely tell they had no idea what they were driving over until that monster came from underneath.' 'It was definitely a rare, bizarre moment,' Mr Mastratisi, who hosts dance workshops in remote communities with his company Break'n Barrierz. He explained the driver of the ute did the 'sensible thing' by slowing driving through the water and not stopping despite the encounter with the crocodile. Mr Mastratisi said the vehicle could have easily been dragged into the water if the driver had stopped just a few seconds later. 'There's not much else he could have done. I'm definitely not going to get out of the car and check what's under the car in croc-infested waters.' Mr Mastratisi said he's not sure if the driver of the ute got out of the 4WD to check what had happened because he had to move his own vehicle. He noted the crocodile survived the encounter unscathed and he spotted the fierce animal 'chilling in the water' next to the crossing when he drove past. The dance teacher said the animal seemed 'annoyed' at being dragged through the water, but not hurt in anyway. Mr Mastratisi's footage of the shocking incident has racked up over one million views across his social media platforms, with many concerned about the crocodile. 'Glad they are such tough creatures,' one viewer commented. 'I crossed this a minute before this fella and the water was fast flowing and deep! Poor croc didn't know what was happening! Imagine the story he tells his mates,' another quipped. 'No way haha!!!! Cahills crossing strikes again,' a third wrote. Cahills Crossing is an infamous feeding ground for crocodiles in Kakadu National Park. This is due to an abundance of fish moving upstream at the crossing during high-tide.
