F1 has spent the past five years trying to clean up its image, then signed deals with gambling companies, tobacco front organisations, and an adult entertainment platform. At least eight of the ten teams have gambling company sponsors. This is not a criticism. It's an observation. The sport will take money from wherever money is offered, as long as the paperwork is clean.
The 2025 season looks extraordinary. McLaren is the favourite. Oscar Piastri is the favourite. The season starts in Melbourne, in the rain.
