The drivers’ championship table only tells part of the story in Formula 1. So every season, we create our own ranking of how well each driver did given their machinery.

This is not about rating how good we think the drivers are in terms of their overall ability, it simply reflects how they did across the 2025 season based on us being trackside and in the paddock for every single race, qualifying and free practice session.

The criteria cover all aspects of a driver’s game - speed in qualifying, race stint pace, number of mistakes, execution, consistency, all-round contribution to the team and much more. All of this is considered within the context of the quality of the car..

Our ranking is a collective one, based on the judgement of our team in and around F1 throughout 2025.
