We rank the 2025 Formula 1 rookies in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw for an in-depth look at the campaigns of the six drivers we’ve classified as rookies.
Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Isack Hadjar, Franco Colapinto, Gabriel Bortoleto are all delved into, with an evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses, their performance trends and what we need to see more, or less of, from them.
We then formulate our ranking of the rookie drivers in the 2025 season so far, albeit with the caveat that with a strong rookie crop there’s every chance that the positions will shuffle in the second half of the campaign.
