F1 25 Season 5 Adds Two Scenario Race Events, Podium Pass Refresh and More

EA Sports F1 25 is looking back on some of the standout moments from a memorable season with two Scenario Races leading the way in Season 5. The season runs from January 7 through March 3 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with an updated Podium Pass and new challenges.

One of the Scenario Races focuses on Nico Hulkenberg’s long awaited podium finish at the British Grand Prix. After 239 race starts without standing on the podium, everything finally came together with tricky weather, smart strategy, strong driving and just enough luck. Players will get the chance to recreate that result by securing Sauber’s first podium since 2012, unlocking the Pixel Powered Special Livery that the team ran at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The second Scenario Race runs throughout the entire season and centers on Max Verstappen’s late title push during the final races of 2025. After trailing by 104 points following the Dutch Grand Prix, he closed the gap to the McLarens and finished second in the Drivers Championship, just two points behind Lando Norris. This challenge drops players into the Singapore circuit starting from 15th on the grid with the goal of fighting through the field and reaching the podium. Completing the challenge earns the Racing Bulls Special Livery from the British Grand Prix.
