About this episode
Matt and Tommy dive into their 2025 Formula 1 driver ratings from 21st to 11th place, analyzing the entire season without recency bias. They discuss rookies like Jack Doohan and Franco Colapinto struggling with Alpine, Yuki Tsunoda's tough year at Red Bull, and Lance Stroll's inconsistent performances. Mid-pack drivers such as Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, Gabriel Bortoleto, Lewis Hamilton, Esteban Ocon, Kimmy Antonelli, and Carlos Sainz receive detailed breakdowns highlighting highs, lows, and head-to-head battles. The hosts reflect on surprising placements and set the stage for the top 10 ratings in the next episode.
