- The F1 season begins this weekend when the action begins in Melbourne
- Max Verstappen is looking to win a fifth consecutive pilot championship
- Lewis Hamilton has joined Ferrari in his attempt to ensure an elusive scope of the eighth
The 2025 season of Formula one starts this weekend when the action begins in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix.
While Max Verstappen is looking to win a fifth consecutive championship of world pilots, the Dutch will face a tough competition of his rivals.
This low season has seen a great shake on the network with Lewis Hamilton changing to Mercedes for Ferrari in his attempt to ensure an elusive eighth reach, which would see him become the first driver to reach that milestone.
But this year's race in Albert Park will look different thanks to the barriers of the fence around the circuit that is painted in a different color.
Instead of its usual gray tone, it will be painted in the most striking black tone in 2025.
This was indicated by the F1 content creator, Matt Ams, who publishes videos about the sport on several different social media platforms.

This was indicated by the F1 content creator, Matt Ams, who publishes videos about the sport on several different social media platforms.
He said it was 'first (he) noticed' while walking along the initial network before the track was closed to the public before the event.
The personality of social networks explained that the decision to paint the fences in black instead of gray became partly to increase visibility.
He commented: “The black fence not only helps absorb part of the sun, but from further back, since it is not as hard as the usual finish in a lighter metal, but combines more with the background.”
Amsys added that the practice is also common when painting chicken wire, but when it comes to the race weekend, it will allow viewers in the first start direct to obtain better photos of the action.
Reacting to the video in the comments section, other users rushed to indicate how they preferred the appearance of black fencing.
A user wrote: “That should be on each F1 track.”
A second published: 'And it looks much better.'
Another added: 'Yes! I have thought they should have been doing this for years!
A room intervened: “easier to see, they do not reflect so much light to the audience.”
