Tickets for the 2025 Australian GP have been snapped up in no time, with Saturday and Sunday sold out in less than an hour, as reported by SpeedCafe and local organizers. This phenomenon highlights the growing interest in Formula 1, which in 2025 will once again open the calendar with the Melbourne GP, from March 13 to 16. Even the absence of Daniel Ricciardo from the grid has not discouraged the Australian fans, who are preparing for an event that promises great emotions.
A quick sell out and a growing interest
After the record attendance of 2024, with 452.055 spectators over the weekend, the 2025 edition of the Australian GP is expected to be even more crowded. The increase in capacity at Albert Park will help to surpass these numbers, but the real surprise was how quickly tickets for Saturday and Sunday sold out. Just hours after the Ticketmaster portal opened for sales, seats for the two main days were sold out, leaving only tickets available for Thursday and Friday, when support category activities such as Supercars and Porsche Carrera Cup Australia will take place.
A renewed Schedule and homegrown talents
Formula 1 in 2025 promises to be more exciting than ever, with the confirmation of an increasingly open competition. After two years of Red Bull dominance, next year will see the debut of Lewis Hamilton with Ferrari and the consolidation of Australian talents Oscar Piastri – who this year with McLaren achieved his first successes in F1, and Jack Doohan, who will instead debut with Alpine. Both are ready to ignite the home crowd. In addition, the possible presence of New Zealander Liam Lawson is expected, perhaps as a teammate to Max Verstappen. This combination of factors has certainly fueled the fever for the Melbourne GP.
Melbourne returns to being the capital of Formula 1
The Australian Grand Prix has cemented its place as a key event on the F1 calendar. The return of the race to open the season, after being rescheduled as the third round of the calendar in 2024, adds further appeal to the event. Organisers are aiming to break attendance records, with increased capacity and increased support activities over the weekend, with Formula 2 and Formula 3 set to take to the track alongside local categories.
A season to be lived until the last GP
While tickets for the 2025 Australian GP are already sold out, the current season is set to feature its final six races, starting with the United States Grand Prix in Austin next week. With Lando Norris continuing to challenge Max Verstappen for the world title, all eyes will be on these final rounds, which could bring some dramatic twists.
Norris, after a season in which he has repeatedly demonstrated his potential, could still give Verstappen a run for his money, despite the Dutchman's 52-point advantage. With 180 points still up for grabs across Grand Prix and Sprint Races, the upcoming races represent a unique opportunity to put the title back into play.
Australian fans will have to wait a few more months before seeing their beloved Formula 1 live, but the wait promises to be worth it with an unforgettable show, both on the track and in the stands.
