F1's drivers have been reflecting on their biggest on and off-track moments from 2025
As 2025 draws to a close, the Formula 1 drivers have been sharing their on and off-track highlights of the year.
From Lando Norris's first drivers' championship title to Charles Leclerc's engagement to his long-term partner, Alexandra Saint Mleux, the drivers have had a lot to celebrate this year.
Here is a round-up of the drivers' posts to date.
Lando Norris, McLaren
Norris understandably shared photos from his first championship win, some of his grand prix victories throughout the season and the FIA prize-giving ceremony, along with his predictions card from the start of the year in which he wrote that his goal for 2025 was to "stand up for myself. To enjoy my life. DO more for others. WIN THE WDC + WCC."
"2025. best one yet," he posted.

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
In a difficult year for Leclerc on track, the Monegasque driver looked to his off-track milestones, including his proposal to his partner Saint Mleux and his brother's wedding. And of course the couple's dog, Leo, made an appearance.
The Ferrari driver had planned to close out the year with a dream holiday to Antarctica, but he shared that an issue with the boat had prevented him and Saint Mleux from going on the trip.
"A very good year off the track. A very difficult year on the track," he wrote. "Thank you so much to all of you that follows and supports me throughout the ups and downs. Count on me to give absolutely everything for 2026 for us to have more wins and success on the track.
"Enjoy the holidays and see you next year. (Don’t wait for Antarctica pictures - technical problem on the boat means everything was cancelled 3 days ago.)"

Russell shared photos which mainly covered off-track moments with his partner Carmen Montero Mundt, his Mercedes AMG One and behind-the-scenes moments with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon.

He also shared a reel with some of his best moments of the year, with clips of him skiing, cycling and taking part in the F1 charity football match ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. He also shared videos of him rallying with his father, Carlos Sainz Sr., and the now fan-favourite moment that the 'Sparkles' sticker came to life.

James Vowles, Williams
Williams team principal James Vowles also took the opportunity to reflect on the year. "I enjoy living memories through photos," he wrote. "From the O2 F1 event, to Round 1 in Australia with Alex’s P5 to kick the season off, to flying in an F-18 (a dream come true!), the podiums, Carlos’ first with Williams, and great memories celebrating as a team.
"I was also fortunate to drive the FW14B, the FW08, and a 12-hour GT3 race for good measure. I became a dad for the second time, welcoming my son to the world in July. There are so many more memories, but these are the ones that summarise 2025 for me.
"This year was a true testament to the relentless commitment and hard work of the 1,000+ workforce across the whole of Williams. This is just the beginning of our journey."
