2025 Season Review | 2025 Driver Report Card | Epi #158 | Lando’s Title, Max’s Near-Miss & Rookies vs F1 Veterans

Four hundred–point seasons, a championship decided by just two points, and a rookie class that looked anything but inexperienced. In this episode, Dick and Sabrina walk through their full 2025 driver report card, grading everyone from Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri to Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto, and seasoned veterans like Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc, and George Russell still fighting at the sharp end.

They talk about who genuinely elevated their machinery, who quietly banked results while the headlines focused elsewhere, and how confidence, adaptability, and racecraft under pressure separated an A+ season from a B. Along the way, they touch on sims, new‑reg driving styles, “clean air” merchants, and which drivers might surprise—or struggle—when F1 resets in 2026. If you’re wondering whether your favorite driver was overrated, underrated, or spot on this year, this is the place to find out.
