The 2025 F1 grid has a strong range of drivers spanning from multiple world championship holders to race debutants.
The field will look very different compared to last year with just two teams (McLaren and Aston Martin) not undergoing a driver line-up change.
A number of teams have constructed their driver line-ups to take them into the sport's new era in 2026 when fresh technical regulations come into play.
However, that does not mean there will be no driver changes come the end of the campaign.
At Red Bull, Liam Lawson is currently contracted until the end of the season alongside Max Verstappen, in what is perhaps the most challenging drive on the grid.
Similarly, at the front of the grid, George Russell's contract at Mercedes expires at the end of this year while new rookie team-mate Kimi Antonelli is only mentioned to be part of the team's line-up for 2025.
Jack Doohan joins Alpine for his first full season but he will have to impress if he wants to secure a drive for the following campaign.
At the Red Bull sister team, both Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar are tied to one-year deals.
Other circumstances could see drivers that are committed into 2026 leave the grid early - but for now, see the list of drivers with expiring contracts at the end of 2025 below!
