2025 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix - Driver Ratings

There are two 10s in this week's driver ratings from the Mexico City Grand Prix - but who has scored them?

It is a relatively high-scoring affair, with no driver scoring less than a '5', but do you agree with our rankings?

Let us know in the comments below!

The top five

Lando Norris - 10

Not quite a grand chelem as he did not take fastest lap - old mucker Russell did that - but it was as good as. Very tempting to say this was a champion's drive, but he did what he did not in Azerbaijan when Piastri crashed: Capitalised on a shocker for his team-mate. A 34-point deficit is now a one-point lead in five races.

Ollie Bearman - 10

Great launch off the line from ninth, and passed Hadjar and Piastri and kept his head when more experienced colleagues lost theirs at Turn 1. Was able to stay with the faster cars on pace, and had a brilliant cut-back move in the Verstappen-Hamilton incident to get up the inside of the Red Bull. Verstappen was always going to pass him for P3, so the second stop was just about consolidating P4. A breakthrough result.

Charles Leclerc - 9 

A stunning qualifying lap was tracking level with Norris right up until the stadium section but second was still a strong result. Arguably should have fallen behind Hamilton after his Turn 1 adventures, but kept second and was going to be a tricky customer for Verstappen to pass before the VSC, deployed because of a fire alarm detection on Sainz's stopped car, saved him.

Max Verstappen - 9 

If there's one driver who would even think about sweeping around the outside from four-wide to try and lead at Turn 1, this is it. It didn't happen, despite his best effort. Lunge on Hamilton was rash, and not immediately ceding the position was petty. But still took another podium, with an uber-impressive stint on softs.

Kimi Antonelli - 8.5

His best weekend in F1. Placed inside the top 3 in both sessions on Friday, and was within a tenth of Russell in qualifying. Raced well, picked his battles, followed team orders, and got his reward, with a first grand prix defeat of Russell this season.

The bottom five

Nico Hulkenberg - 5.5 

Decent grid position of 13th was undone on the formation lap by power surges from the PU, which all but wrecked his afternoon. Did well to last 25 laps before calling it quits.

Lance Stroll - 5 

An off weekend for the Aston Martins, but the performance relative to what he had was ok. Did well to finish ahead of Gasly. 

Franco Colapinto - 5

Like Aston Martin, Alpine struggled and were badly off the pace, even of the midfield. Colapinto was both out-qualified and then out-raced by Gasly.

Fernando Alonso - 5 

On a weekend, no driver had an absolute shocker, a par score for the two-time champion, who expects better opportunities to come in the final four races.

Liam Lawson - 5

Unlucky to be barged into by Sainz at Turn 1, and his race was all but over from there. Did extremely well to avoid hitting those two marshals.
