After a three-way title fight at the 2025 Formula 1 finale in Abu Dhabi, McLaren’s Lando Norris secured his first world championship by just two points over four-time and reigning F1 champ Max Verstappen, with Norris’s McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, 11 points further back in third.
Points make prizes in F1, so does Norris’s 2025 crown make him the standout driver of the season? Or did Verstappen’s relentless chase down of the McLaren duo, including six wins in the final nine grands prix, put him top of the pile? RACER wants you to let us know your star of the season by voting for the 2025 Formula 1 Driver of the Year.
Your vote counts, and maybe it isn’t for Norris or Verstappen? Did Piastri’s breakout season move the needle for you? How about George Russell taking his Mercedes to a pair of GP wins? Or Charles Leclerc hustling a less-than-stellar Ferrari SF-25 to an unbelievable Hungary pole?
Maybe it’s an F1 rookie who impressed you the most? Anyone for Isack Hadjar putting Racing Bulls on the Zandvoort podium? Or perhaps it’s Carlos Sainz and his inspired late-season surge pulling Williams clear of the midfield pack?
It’s your call and your votes, and we can’t wait to find out who comes out on top.
Voting will remain open for 72 hours, and we’ll be announcing your 2025 Formula 1 Driver of the Year on January 15.
Plus, coming soon: vote for your 2025 NTT IndyCar Series and NASCAR drivers of the year, and sports car marque of the year.
