With times starting to come in from soft compound tyre runs, Oliver Bearman of Haas lost control of his car exiting the turn 9–10 chicane and hit the left hand side wall, bringing out a second red flag. By the end of the opening practice session, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz Jr., Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen made up the top five.{{Cite web |date=14 March 2025 |title=Norris tops first practice in Australia as Bearman crashes |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/fp1-norris-tops-first-practice-session-of-2025-in-australia-as-bearman.7dmovyXBFTUtC7RRkKF3tf |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Formula1.com}}
The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 16:00 local time.

Qualifying
Qualifying was held on 15 March 2025, at 16:00 local time (UTC+11), and determined the starting grid order for the race.
= Qualifying report =
The first session (Q1) ran for 18 minutes, eliminating cars that finished 16th or lower. The first flying laps began, most of the grid starting on soft tyres. Lando Norris of McLaren went fastest with his effort of 1:16.003, just over one-hundredth of a second clear of Max Verstappen.{{Cite web |title=Norris storms to pole position for the Australian Grand Prix |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/norris-storms-to-pole-position-for-the-australian-grand-prix-ahead-of.7xW094Sd0b5e2qHIvAaf3s |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Formula1.com}} As Fernando Alonso slotted his Aston Martin into fifth, Liam Lawson triggered a yellow flag after oversteering his RB21 into the gravel. He later ran into the grass as well, resulting in him qualifying 18th. Andrea Kimi Antonelli also had his fair share of issues in the gravel, dragging the Mercedes rookie down into a danger zone of fourteenth, and would eventually be pushed down to sixteenth. By the end of Q1, Antonelli, Nico Hülkenberg, Liam Lawson, Esteban Ocon, and Oliver Bearman were knocked out, making up grid places 16–20.
The second session (Q2) lasted 15 minutes, eliminating cars that finished 11th to 15th. Max Verstappen headed out for Q2 first, setting the initial pace before Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris took the fastest times. Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso had a run in with the kerb, returning to the pits without completing a lap. Gabriel Bortoleto of Sauber made an impressive save, avoiding what could have been a detrimental crash, however Lewis Hamilton brought out the yellow flags, the seven-time World Champion spinning out.{{Cite web |title=Norris storms to pole position for the Australian Grand Prix |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/norris-storms-to-pole-position-for-the-australian-grand-prix-ahead-of.7xW094Sd0b5e2qHIvAaf3s |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Formula1.com}} This yellow flag was detrimental to the drivers in the bottom of the field, Bortoleto included. Norris held onto the quickest lap at 1:15.415. After Q2, Isack Hadjar, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, Jack Doohan, and Gabriel Bortoleto were knocked out, and landed places 11–15 on the grid respectively.
The final 12 minute session (Q3) determined pole position to tenth. Charles Leclerc initially looked to have secured provisional pole before Max Verstappen – just eight-hundredths clear on a 1:15.671 – as well as George Russell bettered his effort. Lando Norris, meanwhile, had his time deleted due to exceeding track limits.{{Cite web |title=Norris storms to pole position for the Australian Grand Prix |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/norris-storms-to-pole-position-for-the-australian-grand-prix-ahead-of.7xW094Sd0b5e2qHIvAaf3s |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Formula1.com}} As a queue formed in the pits, Oscar Piastri found himself in the lead, and beat current World champion Verstappen by four-tenths of a second before Norris set a time 0.084 seconds faster to take pole position.

Notes
- {{note|1|1}} – Liam Lawson qualified 18th, but was required to start the race from the pit lane as his car was modified under parc fermé conditions.
- {{note|2|2}} – Oliver Bearman failed to set a time during qualifying. He was permitted to race at the stewards' discretion, but was required to start from the pit lane as his car was modified under parc fermé conditions.
Race
The race was held on 16 March 2025, and was scheduled to start at 15:00 local time (UTC+11), but was delayed to 15:15 due to Isack Hadjar's crash on the formation lap. The race was set to be run for 58 laps, but was shortened by one lap due to the aborted start procedure.
=Race report=
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.{{Cite web |last=Laughton |first=Max |date=16 March 2025 |title=Aussie curse lives: Piastri podium bid spins away but late move stuns as teammate wins |url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/motorsport/formula-one/f1-australian-grand-prix-2025-race-live-latest-news-and-updates-starting-grid-oscar-piastri-grid-position-pole-position-weather-forecast-start-time-aedt-and-how-to-stream/news-story/6cabae09868452ac63fc97703bde6902 |access-date=8 April 2025 |website=Fox Sports Australia}}
Verstappen, in the Red Bull, was trailing Norris as the race reached its closing stages. Norris kept Verstappen behind to win the Grand Prix, bringing McLaren its first win in Australia since Jenson Button did so for the team in 2012. 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.{{Cite web |last=Kelly |first=Sean |date=16 March 2025 |title=Facts and Stats: Norris ends Verstappen’s 63-race streak at top of Drivers' standings |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/facts-and-stats-norris-ends-verstappens-63-race-streak-at-top-of-drivers.6yGmDmizIwDfL745c3D4nN |access-date=8 April 2025 |website=Formula1.com}} Having been briefly penalised, dropping him to fifth before his team lodged an appeal, which was upheld,{{cite web |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/breaking-antonelli-promoted-back-to-p4-as-australian-grand-prix-penalty-is.2TktXRAy9MX7Px0GlzdHnT |title=Antonelli promoted back to P4 as Australian Grand Prix penalty is overturned |date=16 March 2025 |website=Formula1.com}} 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.{{Cite web |last=Jenkins |first=Keith |date=3 April 2025 |title=Youngest point scorers in F1 history |url=https://www.espn.co.uk/racing/story/_/id/44510150/youngest-point-scorers-f1-history |access-date=8 April 2025 |website=ESPN}}
Six retirements were observed, all for accidents on track, for which three safety car periods were observed: Hadjar, during the formation lap, Jack Doohan for Alpine, Carlos Sainz Jr. for Williams, Fernando Alonso for Aston Martin, Gabriel Bortoleto for Sauber, and Verstappen's teammate Liam Lawson. Sainz's teammate, Alexander Albon, scored a highest finish of fifth for Williams, the first time the team has done such since the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix. Alonso's teammate Lance Stroll finished in sixth, and Sauber's Nico Hülkenberg seventh, placing them above Ferrari, who had a disappointing season opener with Charles Leclerc finishing in eighth and Hamilton tenth.{{cite web |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/leclerc-admits-ferrari-are-on-the-back-foot-after-tricky-australian-grand.2WmOtG9cHX1hyIEoqH6B5f |title=Leclerc admits Ferrari 'are on the back foot’ after ‘tricky’ Australian Grand Prix |date=16 March 2025 |website=Formula1.com}} The Haas duo of Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon rounded off the bottom two.{{cite web |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/norris-beats-verstappen-to-victory-in-dramatic-australian-gp-opener-amid.5rKGxQHJoDl1P8stMSHlIN |title=Norris beats Verstappen to victory in dramatic Australian GP opener amid late-race chaos |date=16 March 2025 |website=Formula1.com}}
