Alternative F1 points with certain teams removed are always a fun exercise. There’s a 2025 version that really puts the grid’s wildest battle in sharp focus
Alex Albon currently leads the Formula 1 world championship for Williams with a 39-point advantage over season-long rival Isack Hadjar, but two experienced drivers have closed the gap recently, setting the stage for a potentially thrilling title fight.
This narrative, though fictional, has its foundation in reality. By creating a separate ‘Class B’ championship that excludes the top four teams, a new season dynamic emerges. Points are awarded to the other six teams based on their performance in races and sprints.
The simulated season has showcased the intense battles in F1’s 2025 midfield competition. Albon’s strong start in Australia set the tone, with missed opportunities for other competitors early on.
After some initial struggles, Hadjar emerged as a strong contender with wins in Japan and Monaco. As Albon faced setbacks in races like Spain, Canada, and Austria, Hadjar had the chance to close the gap in the standings.
The ongoing rivalry between Albon and Hadjar, along with unexpected results from other teams like Aston Martin, Haas, and Alpine, creates an exciting and unpredictable season, proving that in F1, anything can happen.
