Is this the greatest F1 grid ever? One team boss says it just might be
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella believes the 2025 F1 grid is the most competitive pool of drivers in the sport’s history. Despite McLaren’s dominance this season, the grid has remained close. Nineteen of the 20 drivers have finished in the top six at least once, with Sauber scoring 62 points despite being ninth in the constructors’ championship. The midfield competition this year has been intense, showcasing the depth of talent in the field. Additionally, the presence of impressive rookie drivers has added further excitement to the season. While 2012 is often seen as a peak year for driver quality, the 2025 grid stands out for its overall strength and lack of weak links.
