2025 Team Lineup・
Driver Lineup

Diverse 10 teams. The team staff consists of over 800 people!

The 10 teams currently participating are Mercedes and Ferrari, which develop both the power unit and chassis in-house, McLaren, Aston Martin, and Alpine※1, which develop only the chassis while sourcing the power unit from others, Williams, Kick Sauber, Haas, and Red Bull, which has established a power unit development company called "Honda RBPT" in collaboration with Honda, supplying that power unit to their own team and RB. Thus, each team has its own unique combination of chassis and power unit.

The number of staff allowed to enter the circuit is limited. However, it is said that there are over 800 Red Bull staff, and many of them are engaged in machine development and data analysis at their headquarters factory.

*1: Alpine is equipped with a Renault power unit, but it is a subsidiary of Renault and is in a position close to self-supply.

Point "Power Unit"

F1 currently employs a hybrid system, where the power source is a complex combination of the engine, motor, battery, and control systems. Therefore, it is referred to as a "power unit" instead of an "engine."
