Verstappen heads F1 25 game’s driver ratings, Piastri eighth

All 20 of this season’s Formula 1 drivers have been scored by Electronic Arts and developer Codemasters ahead of the release of the EA SPORTS F1 25 game.

As ever, each driver has been rated across five criteria and then provided with an overall rating, in a system reminiscent of EA SPORTS FC’s player ratings. These are experience, racecraft, awareness and pace.

Topping the list is reigning world champion Max Verstappen, scoring 95 out of a possible 100. At the opposite end of the scale is rookie entrant and fellow Red Bull-affiliated colleague Isack Hadjar with 68/100.

Following a breakthrough sprint pole position, Mercedes rising star Andrea Kimi Antonelli is penultimate on the overall ratings sheet, behind the likes of Jack Doohan and Gabriel Bortoleto.

The list understandably omits Franco Colapinto, who was only announced as an Alpine driver for five races yesterday, 7th May.

Behind Verstappen, Lando Norris sits second, ahead of Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Carlos Sainz Jr. Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton sits sixth, ahead of Fernando Alonso and current championship leader Oscar Piastri, languishing in eighth.

The Australian has a total rating of 87, up three points since last season. Russell has also increased by the same margin season over season.

Following its release on 30th May, the F1 25 game will receive periodic updates to these ratings based on real-world performances.
