2025 F1 Standings So Far: Could We See a New Champion?
5 races into the 2025 F1 season, the championship battle is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in years.
In the top three, we currently have Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen. This year, it truly feels like we could see a McLaren champion—a huge shift from recent seasons. Between the two teammates, it’s a close fight, but I believe Oscar Piastri is slowly establishing a more stable and consistent base, positioning himself as the stronger contender for the title, but Lando is not far behind and could flip the narrative in his favor easily.
For the Constructors' Championship, the top three are currently McLaren, Mercedes, and Red Bull. McLaren is leading by a long shot this year, and based on their pace and consistency, I don’t see this changing anytime soon.
Ferrari, on the other hand, has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season. So far, they’ve only managed one podium in five races—a stark contrast to last year when they were fighting for the championship until the very last race and secured an impressive second place.
This is even more disappointing when we take into account the great lineup that team has this year, and what was expected to be one of the greatest lineups in the history of Ferrari, it would be a shame to see this potential go to waste because of a non compatative car.
Meanwhile, Williams has made an incredible leap up to fifth place in the standings. Alex Albon has been particularly consistent this year, delivering strong performances that are keeping the team solidly inside the top five.
Aston Martin has unfortunately faced a big downgrade, slipping down to seventh place after their strong performance last year.
Kick Sauber remains at the bottom of the standings, but despite this, their car is noticeably improved compared to last season.
The season still has a long way to go, and as we saw last year, anything can happen. At this point in 2024, Red Bull was leading the championship, but by the end of the season, they finished third.
In Formula 1, momentum can shift in the blink of an eye, and this season still has a lot to unfold.
