The 2025 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race that was held on 16 March 2025 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Victoria. It was the first round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship.
Lando Norris won the race from pole position, ahead of Max Verstappen and George Russell. Norris' victory marked McLaren's first at Melbourne since Jenson Button's victory in 2012.
The race was held under changing, intermediate conditions. Isack Hadjar crashed his Racing Bull during the formation lap, resulting in an abandoned start and 10-minute delay. Lando Norris in the McLaren led a majority of the race. He briefly lost the lead to Max Verstappen when Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri lost control in intermediate conditions, with Norris boxing shortly afterward. Having lost control, Piastri was beached for a short time before he freed himself, dropping to thirteenth and later recovering to ninth after a late pass on Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton.
Verstappen was trailing Norris as the race reached its closing stages. Norris kept Verstappen behind to win the Grand Prix. In doing so, Norris led the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, and broke Verstappen's reign in the lead of the championship, which he had held since the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix. Having been briefly penalised, dropping him to fifth before his team lodged an appeal, which was upheld, Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the Mercedes recovered twelve places from his sixteenth-place start to finish in fourth, and his points finish made him the second-youngest Formula One driver to have scored a point.
