F1 pilot ranking for the 2025 season
AM850 presents the pilot ranking for the 2025 season of Formula 1, based solely on handling without taking into account the car they handle.
What is more important, the Auto or the pilot in the F1? Pilot without a car, is a spectator inside the grill, but a car without a pilot is a waste. Obviously the cars are not drive Formula 1 And the one that can make the difference between winning a title or not, especially in a season like 2025, which is expected to be very disputed.
Here we present the AM850 ranking of pilots for the 2025 season of Formula 1, based only on handling without taking into account the car they handle.
20- Isack Hadjar
Hadjar is the happy depositary of the faith of Helmut Marko In your Junior team in Red Bull. Very temperamental, aggressive pilot and as it is capable of spectacular maneuvers, it is also made of children’s failures.
If Jack Doohan does not show that he is not only the son of a motorcycling legend, he will weigh the impatience of Flavio Briatore and the million that paid for the contract for Franco Colapintand we will see the Australian get off the seat of Alpine. It is not about fulfilling, it has to shine.
He owes the opportunity to Carlos Sainz’s appendicitis, but the seat to his cold blood, prudence and work both in Ferrari as in Haas. What he achieved in F2 does not scare anyone, but his maturity put him in the sights of the teams and needs to revalidate her.
He ‘Verstappen’ by Toto Wolff. The Italian boy who is called, at least on paper, to be the new ‘big thing’ in F1. Do not expect triumphs or titles for Kimi in this first year, because what will be seen will be errors and growth.
Champion in consecutive years of the Formula 3 and the Formula 2the Brazilian is the first titular representative of his country in the F1 since Felipe Massa. A lucky mixture of talent, preparation and economic support put him in a position to arrive and now stay will be the challenge.
The substitute for Checo Pérez It will not have it easy in 2025: Red Bull does not live its best, the car is no longer designed by Adrian Neweyhis coequipero is the best pilot these times and the competition is very large. Even so, Lawson is a good pilot who will try to survive in a very rare work environment.
A couple of great awards a year makes us think that he could be a F1 pilot, although he did not have the financial support of his father, owner of Aston Martinbut the rest of the time seems to have intention of denying those who believe it is the prototype of the payment pilot.
A kind, focused and hardworking guy. A transparent pilot and good team player, but hardly the competitor who can take a team to another level or who can claim the ‘number one’ position in Williams, less as Sainz present.
Fast hands and a longer tongue than its tiny body, they have been the seals of the Japanese of Racing Bulls. Although Yuki has surpassed the coequiperos who have put in front of him, he has failed to round a season with consistency.
No one doubts their ability, but sometimes the cables of sanity are crossed and attacks, mainly against their coequiperos. If that is left aside, it is not a minor thing when you will have a rookie as a partner in HaasOcon is a very talent pilot.
Hulkenberg is synonymous with regularity. His work in Haas projected it to Sauber and to be the spearhead of Audi. With 37 years, Nico has suffered to settle as an unquestionable pilot and the fact that he has never climbed to the podium in his career is a mere anecdote.
The 2024 season reinforced the Frenchman who left Red Bull with the tail between the legs. Alpine did not spend a penny on repairs of his car in 2024, since he did not suffer any car or mishap, but beyond that record that the Major Prima de Insurance would give him, there is his triumph over Esteban Ocon, the podium in Brazil and the season closure that makes all France dream.
Verstappen’s best “friend”, the young leader of the Pilot Association tested for three years in a row that could live up to the seven -time Lewis Hamilton champion in the same car, although in reality in 2024 his coequipero lived the disadvantage of being A Ferrari pilot in transit by Mercedes. There are those who even think that Russell is world championship material.
The very mature Australian young McLaren It is an old soul among the drivers of the Gen Z. Although he has made mistakes, his moments of brilliance remind world champions such as Prost or Lauda. Brain pilot, you must take a step forward if you want, as many think you can, be a care rival for Norris.
The favorite of many to be a champion, but not because they believe he is the best pilot, but because McLaren, in theory, will have the best car again. Lando has many things to try in 2025, many excuses to keep and a coequipero of much respect. Lando’s hands are not discussed: it is fast and has the tools to take the best car to a title, but many ghosts must be shaken first.
The Spanish cost a job to establish himself as one of the best F1 pilots, but he conissued it based on work and, always, with the label of “second pilot” has been more than a worthy rival of Lando Norris and Leclerc, respectively. Now, in Williams You must load with a team that wants to become a winner.
The ‘predestinate’ is pure speed in qualy. In the Verstappen domain era, he managed to snatch 17 pole posations, not always with a better car. Leclerc is a natural talent that has matured as the second best of a generation that has Max as leader. Who believes that Hamilton will easily defeat him in Ferrari can take the door on his nose.
The other different from the grill, the other champion. Alonso is 43 years old, what in the eyes of some is a disadvantage, but 401 large awards after his debut in 2001 is a fact that, if you give the Ovetense a competitive car, it will fight forward, because its handling has not declined with The years.
One of the best after the steering wheel of an F1 in history, whose incredible longevity provides data such as Piastri, Bearman, Hadjar, Antonelli, Doohan and Bortoleto, were not born when Fernando debuted in that GP of Australia 24 years ago. If Hamilton and Nico Hulkenberg are removed, the rest of the F1 holders who will compete in 2025 were between 11 months and 6 years old, when Fernando debuted with Minardi. He is also the only one on the grill that has competed in the F1 with two Argentine pilots (Mazzacane and Colapinto).
Hamilton’s numbers put him in the discussion of the best pilot in history, but in the last three years his performance was on par George Russell in Mercedesso much that the young man beat him in rating at a rate of 29-39, tied in race 34-34 and in total in that period the difference in points was +2 for Lewis, twice George ended in a better place in the table . In Victorias the advantage was Russell 3-2, as well as in poles with 5-1, but Hamilton beat 20-14 in podiums. Is Hamilton already an earthly pilot? No, it is an out of series, but at 40 he has the challenge of his life in the controls of a Ferrari.
Four times world champion, reigning monarch. Max Verstappen It is a living legend of the F1 with 63 victories, 54 of them in the most recent 91 major awards. Many can say that the Dutch has had the best car in the last four years, but in reality, 80 percent of the 2024 season was better with a car that was the third of the grill. His exhibition in Brazil, his way of dominating, intimidating, qualifying and running every Sunday, today, today, the best F1 pilot.
