Somewhere Kimi Räikkönen is having a good laugh and enjoying an adult beverage.
A little off topic, but is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the use of "from" in this sentence. I notice it all the time in F1 news coverage, so perhaps it's more typical of British grammar? Curious since we have a worldwide audience here.

I would typically use "starting in" for this sentence, since it's an indefinite future event. I usually only use "from" for events that have already taken place, or when referencing a defined timeline that occurs in the future (from xx until xx). The indefinite future of "from 2025" just seems odd to me, it seems like it needs a "until xxxx", otherwise the sentence seems incomplete.
