The 2025 Gran-Prix One World Championship is a motor racing championship for Gran-Prix One cars. This will be the 66th running of the Gran-Prix One World Championship. It is recognized by the Federazione Internazionale dell'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest competition for open-wheel racing cars. .The championship is scheduled to be contested over twenty-two Grands Prix held around the world. It began in April and will end in December.

Drivers and teams compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. Fabien Zolla, driving for re-branded Aihopita, is the reigning Drivers' Champion, while Matsuda Decaux-Fushao are the reigning Constructors' Champions.

A revised configuration without the Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H), but with a higher power output from the Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K), will be introduced for 2026. 2025 will also mark the final year of the ground-effect generation of cars introduced in 2022, and the last year of the drag reduction system (DRS) introduced as an overtaking aid in 2011 as cars with active aerodynamics and moveable wings are being introduced in 2026.

Team changes

Alfieri-Rossi Motorsport which had been in GP1 since 1982, announced they were selling the team to Rawian company Orlik. The new team would be known as Orlik GP1 Racing Team and would retain Scutari engines for 2025, with plans to use it's own engines for 2026.

Reniritak's GP1 team which had been in the sport as Reniritak for two periods since 1978 announced it was rebranding as Aihopita GP1 Team, to promote Reniritak's luxury car brand Aihopita Automotive. The change also came with a rebranding of the team's traditional black and gold branding, switching to a blue, white and pink branding to match with the Aihopita company's branding.

Mid-season changes

Following the results of the 2025 Girisko free state referendum and the annexation of Girisko into Monsilva, Decaux announced the team would changing its registration from Girisko to Majocco, where the team is currently based. Decaux became registered in Majocco from the Kivuian Grand Prix onward.

Driver changes

Max Hedström (left) and Gabrilis VII (right) made their debuts as full-time drivers with Scutari, and Vaz, respectively.

During the 2024 season, Reniritak announced it would be parting ways with Alfons Menegus at the end of the season, ending his three year stint with the team. The team announced after the 2024 Salisfordian Grand Prix that former world champion Roman Konstantinovich would replace Menegus, in an agreement between Reniritak and his current team Vaz. As part of the deal, Reniritak junior and reigning Gran-Prix 2 champion Gabrilis VII was elevated to replace Konstantinovich at Vaz. Vaz also announced it would be changing it's drive lineup completely for the 2025 season, dropping Finbar McEvoy in favor of former Markusse driver Žarko Martinovic Antić who last raced during the 2023 season. Menegus joined Orlik for the 2025 season, replacing Saba Nikoladze. Menegus had raced at Orlik's predecessor Alfieri-Rossi for four years prior to his Reniritak stint.

After the Salisfordian Grand Prix, José Uribe Álvarez was dropped by Scutari, ending his multi-year stint with the team. He was replaced with Scutari junior Max Hedström, who was promoted from Gran-Prix 2. Hedström is the son of former four-time world champion Tobias Hedström.

The teams will also be mandated to use at least three sets of tyres in the race, with a minimum of two different tyre compounds if it is a dry race.

Season summary

Pre-season

Three pre-season test sessions were held at the Mac Sigìth Raceway in Kilcullen on 21–23 March.[1] Osmín Salinas Quijada, driving for Corona, set the fastest time in the three-day tests.

Opening rounds

Markusse's Olivier de Marsotte took the opening pole position of the season in Baltanla.[2] De Marsotte briefly lost the lead when he was overtaken into the first turn by teammate Annamengia Sante. Sante led the next three laps which were under safety car due to a turn one crash between Moffatt driver Georgia O'Concannon and Scutari driver Max Hedström. The crash forced O'Concannon to retire and Hedström to pit for a new front wing and emerge in last place, with Hedström ultimately recovering to a 12th place finish. De Marsotte ultimately retook the lead on lap five and would lead the remaining laps to earn the first victory of the season and take his first career lead in the driver's championship.[3] Teammate Sante finished five seconds behind while Vitale Scutari of Scutari secured third place for he and Sctuari's first podium since the 2024 Jackson Grand Prix.

De Marsotte would again take pole position at the next Grand Prix in Ajakanistan.[4] Aihopita driver Fabien Zolla and Schipol driver Güvenç Yagmur who qualified 2nd and 15th respectively would both receive three-place grid penalties for impeding Moffatt driver Huỳnh Hoàng Ân. De Marsotte would initially lead the race but on lap 15 he would be passed by Corona driver Esteban Cruz Albeño. Cruz Albeño would remain in control of the race until lap 45 when Vitale Scutari was forced to retire due to engine issues, triggering a safety car. The poor timing of the safety car after Cruz Albeño's pitstop enabled both Aihopita drivers, Zolla and teammate Roman Konstantinovich, who had stayed out to take a 1-2 lead in the race. Zolla would retain the lead of the race for his first win of the season while de Marsotte would pass Cruz Albeño and Konstantinovich to take second and Konstantinovich would hold onto third.[5] Konstantinovich's podium would be his first since the 2017 Amersvoort Grand Prix and the first for an Ajaki driver at home since Konstantinovich in the 2013 Ajakanistan Grand Prix.

At the Jackson Grand Prix, Sante earned her first career pole position ahead of Cruz Albeño by one one-thousandth of a second.[6] Sante would control the race from start to finish, leading nearly every lap to take her first win of the season.[7] Teammate de Marsotte finished second on track but was demoted to fourth place due to a five-second penalty incurred on his overtake of Cruz Albeño on lap 57. Cruz Albeño inherited second while Vitale Scutari inherited the remaining podium place. A scuffle on lap 12 between Decaux driver Wu Chang and Chienrú driver Mikhail Kotlavchenko resulted in a collision that forced Kotlavchenko to immediately retire, causing a safety car, and Wu to retire nine laps later due to damage sustained. The race was also briefly led by Hedström, making him the youngest driver to lead a lap in GP1 history.

The Kivuian Grand Prix featured the first sprint race of the season. De Marsotte took sprint pole and the first sprint win of the season while Corona driver Osmín Salinas Quijada took second and Sante took third.[8][9] During the sprint race, Cruz Albeño and Scutari collided during an attempted overtake by Scutari that resulted in both driver's retirements on lap 15 of the sprint. At the main qualifying, Cruz Albeño took his first pole position of the season ahead of the two Markusse's with Sante and de Marsotte.[10] Cruz Albeño held off an initial fight with Sante in the first laps and a late fight with de Marsotte in the closing laps to take his and Corona's first win since the 2022 season with de Marsotte and Sante earning Markusse's second double podium of the season.[11]

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top ten classified drivers and the top eight of the sprint. In the case of a tie on points, a countback system is used where the driver with the most Grand Prix wins is ranked higher (if the number of wins is identical, then the number of second places is considered, and so on). The points are awarded for every race using the following system:

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th
Race 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1
Sprint 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
