2025 will be the year of the rookie in F1, with six new faces starting their first full-time seasons.
It is the first time since 2010 when six rookies will start a season, although six did also race in the '15 campaign, only five started the year.
In 2025, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar come in as pure rookies, replacing Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Liam Lawson, respectively.
The other three, Oliver Bearman, Jack Doohan and Lawson have all made their F1 debuts already, with three, one and 11 grands prix under their belts to date.
Lawson has arguably the toughest job, replacing Sergio Perez as Max Verstappen's team-mate, but we want to do who you think will finish highest in the championship!
