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
Ferrari’s 2025 outcast Carlos Sainz showcased a masterclass Formula 1 performance during the Mexico Grand Prix weekend, surpassing the two title contenders with assistance from one rival ‘man-marking’ the other. Home hero Sergio Perez had a challenging outing, where no Red Bull-affiliated drivers particularly shone. The rankings are determined by each driver’s performance over the weekend, considering factors such as speed, racecraft, consistency, and avoiding key mistakes. It’s important to emphasize that these rankings are based on weekend performance only, not on the drivers’ overall qualities. Each ranking can vary significantly from one weekend to the next. Different performance potentials of the cars and external factors affecting luck contribute to the variations in rankings.
