F1 Australia Grand Prix Prediction and Odds, Melbourne 2025

First held back in 1928 at Phillip Island, the F1 Australia Grand Prix is one of Australia’s oldest surviving Formula One events. The course has had 23 venues as of this writing, and, since 1985, has been a part of the F1 World Championship circuit.

Today, the F1 Australia Grand Prix’s current venue is the Albert Park Circuit, located just a stone’s throw away from the Melbourne CBD. And while the venue might have changed over the years, there’s one thing that hasn’t — The F1 Australia Grand Prix never fails to excite.

Last year, we saw an epic battle for the podium after Max Verstappen made an uncharacteristic DNF, which allowed Sainz, LeClerc, and Norris to all feautre on the podium. Can any of them repeat their performance this year?

With the 2025 edition taking place early in the season on March 16, what can fans expect at the F1 Australia Grand Prix 2025?

2025 Australian F1 Grand Prix - Driver Predictions and Course Details

F1 Australia Grand Prix 2025 Prediction Melbourne Course Details

The Albert Park course is renowned as a fast-paced circuit that’s relatively easy on the drivers, with consistent corner placement helping drivers quickly internalize the layout quickly. With that said, the track also features flat terrain with little in the way of straights for overtaking opportunities.

As for the condition, of course, we’ll never know the exact conditions until the day of the race. But we can use seasonal averages in Melbourne as a decent indicator of what to expect.

Melbourne in March is generally warm and dry, though there is always a fairly high risk of rain. However, if rain does occur, it will likely be in the form of a brief shower rather than persistent rain. Temperatures are usually around 21C by day, and 12C by night, so it can actually get on the chilly side when the sun sets.

2025 F1 Australia Grand Prix Odds to Win — Who to Watch

While some names in F1 are always worth keeping an eye on, there are others who seem to thrive in certain conditions and on certain circuits.

Here are the drivers we believe are worth keeping an eye on at the 2025 F1 Australia Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen Odds

While he’s not quite at his peak anymore, Verstappen was still a dominant force throughout the 2024 F1 season. Chances are, we will see the same this year, with Verstappen being a real contender to take victory at the 2025 F1 Australia Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton Betting Tips

While Lewis Hamilton also DNF’d last year, he only just narrowly missed out on the win in 2023 in a year where he posted just six podium finishes for the year. This year, we expect to see him do better overall now he’s with Ferrari, meaning he’ll still be a real threat for the podium at Albert Park.

Charles Leclerc Prediction

Charles has been a consistent performer in the F1 for a while now. Add to that the fact that he podiumed in Melbourne last year, and there’s good reason to expect him to perform well at the 2025 F1 Australia GP.
