A sketchy weekend for all the Red Bull-affiliated F1 drivers amid a great one for a couple of its former proteges – as reflected in our Mexican GP driver rankings
In the 2025 Mexico Formula 1 weekend, Carlos Sainz outshined the title rivals with a masterful performance, benefitting from one title rival ‘man-marking’ the other. The rankings are based on multiple criteria, measuring performance across the entire weekend, emphasizing how close each driver came to their car’s maximum potential. It’s crucial to understand that the rankings fluctuate from weekend to weekend and do not reflect the overall qualities of each driver. Sainz secured pole position with near-perfect laps, lost the lead briefly to Verstappen, then executed a brilliant pass to control the race. Magnussen maximized both qualifying and race results, finishing 7th. Norris and Gasly were effective but not flawless in their performances, showcasing strengths in different aspects of the weekend.
