An outstanding crop of rookies? The first 14 weekends of the 2025 F1 season have at least partly delivered on that expectation. We rank how they’ve fared so far
The 2025 Formula 1 season has seen some promising rookie drivers emerging. The ranking of these rookies by The Race considers various factors like their performance in qualifying and races, mistakes made, and overall execution. Franco Colapinto, although facing challenges, has shown potential compared to Gasly, especially in races like Canada and Hungary.
On the other hand, Jack Doohan, who had a promising start but faced mishaps like crashes and collisions, was replaced mid-season. Kimi Antonelli has displayed consistency, with occasional flashes of great speed, like his pole position in Miami. However, his cautious approach may have held him back in some races. It will be interesting to see how these rookies develop throughout the season.
