The drivers and teams were same as the season entry list with two exceptions:[7] Franco Colapinto, who replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams from the Italian Grand Prix onwards, and Liam Lawson, who replaced Daniel Ricciardo at RB from the preceding United States Grand Prix.[8][9][10] During the first practice session, five teams fielded alternate drivers who had not raced in more than two Grands Prix, as required by the Formula One regulations:[11]

Alonso made his 400th Grand Prix entry, making him the first driver to reach that milestone.[5]

Further information: Formula One tyres

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C3, C4, and C5 tyre compounds (the softest three in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.[13] The second free practice session was dedicated to validating the softer compounds in the 2025 range that would be designated C4, C5, and C6.[14]

Track changes

The DRS zone leading in to turn 1 was shortened by 75 metres (246 ft).[15]

Practice

Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on 25 October 2024, at 12:30 local time (UTC–6),[1] and was topped by George Russell of Mercedes ahead of Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari and Yuki Tsunoda of RB. The session was red-flagged twice: the first time for debris on track, of which Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes hit, damaging his car's floor, and the second time for an accident involving Alexander Albon of Williams and Oliver Bearman of Ferrari.[16] The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 16:00 local time,[1] and was topped by Sainz ahead of Oscar Piastri of McLaren and Tsunoda. The session, which was dedicated to Pirelli tyre tests with new 2025 compounds, was red-flagged due to Russell's heavy crash.[17] The third practice session was held on 26 October 2024, at 11:30 local time,[1] and was topped by Piastri ahead of his teammate Lando Norris and Sainz.[18]
