P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Here’s our worst to best countdown of every F1 driver’s 2025 performance so far – based on our average grand prix weekend rankings
The Race’s Formula 1 coverage includes the ranking of all 20 drivers based on their performance on each grand prix weekend.
During the August break of the F1 season, it’s a good time to review each driver’s performance according to their positions in the rankings so far this season.
These rankings consider various factors like speed, execution, mistakes, performance relative to team-mate, luck, and errors to create an accurate picture of the drivers’ performances.
The mid-season ranking order, from worst to best, is formed by averaging out these various factors, with individual ranking positions being decisive in case of ties.
This ranking offers insight into how the 21 drivers have fared throughout the season, although it may differ slightly from a comprehensive ranking that considers all factors.
Further insight into the drivers’ performances can be found through Edd Straw’s rankings and analysis, with an invitation for questions and comments on Patreon for a detailed video response upcoming.
These rankings reveal key details, like average position, best moments (such as Franco Colapinto’s 12th position in Canada), and worst moments (like his 20th place in Britain).
Franco Colapinto showcased moments of promise, especially during the Montreal weekend, but challenges with the Alpine car and a late start to the season impacted his overall performance.
Jack Doohan’s season, marred by errors and mishaps, showcased glimpses of remarkable pace on weekends like those in Australia, Bahrain, and Miami.
Yuki Tsunoda’s rankings season had a strong start with a fifth-place finish in Australia, but challenges with Red Bull Racing have seen him struggle to maintain similar performances since.
