Haas scored 21 points more in 2025 than the year before, but slipped down the F1 constructors’ standings. Now, a new era awaits the American team.
Haas finished the 2025 F1 season in eighth place in the constructors’ championship, showing progress on the track but dropping in the standings compared to the previous year.
The team scored 79 points in 2025, up from 58 in 2024, but slipped from seventh to eighth place, showcasing the competitiveness of the modern midfield and Haas’ missed opportunities due to execution errors.
With Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman as the new driver pairing, Ocon initially led the team, outperforming Bearman and securing more points by the summer break.
Ocon’s racecraft and consistency earned early points, including a fifth-place finish in the Chinese Grand Prix, highlighting his potential.
However, as the season progressed, Ocon struggled with the VF-25’s limitations, leading to a decrease in performance and finishing 15th in the drivers’ standings.
In contrast, Bearman’s rookie season started slowly but he emerged as a standout driver in the second half, showcasing impressive recovery drives and finishing 13th in the championship ahead of Ocon.
Bearman’s blend of speed and race intelligence was evident in his strong performances, culminating in fourth place in Mexico City, marking a promising end to his debut season with Haas.
