#511 F1's Back 2025. The season starts in Melbourne. How did Lewis get on in his debut race for Ferrari. 6 rookies on the grid - who didn’t disappoint? Plus, has Elon broken Tesla? And Renault’s cunning international plan.

F1’s Back 2025
F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back.
I got up in the night to watch it live
And see if Lewis Hamilton can drive to survive
And if him in red is a good idea
For you and me
And the Scuderia.
F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back.
Welcome to the grid
Gabriel Bortoleto
Who did a good job
But he could have done better
& Andrea Kimi Antonelli
Made it look easy on my telly.
F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back.
Hadjar, had a nightmare
Doohan doing badly
Lawson wasn’t awesome
Both Spaniards crashed sadly.
Bearman barely made it
Lando landed Pole
Lewis scored a point
A podium’s the next goal.
F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back, F1’s back.
But Lewis has got to do a lot of work
To match the magnificence of Charles Leclerc
F1’s back and let me tell ya WOW!
We are all Tifosi now
Yeah, we are all Tifosi now.
