EA SPORTS™ F1® 25: 2026 SEASON PACK – 2025 SEASON DRIVER RATINGS

May 20, 2026

If you are starting a 2025 Season in Career or My Team, this is how the drivers stack up against each other.

The 2025 season might be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t challenge the grid and battle for championship glory! Below are the Driver Ratings for anyone starting a 2025 Season Career or My Team playthrough.

How do we decide on Ratings?

Combining historical sporting data, recent performances, and consultation from TV commentators and pundits, each driver’s rating influences how their AI performs when racing alongside them on the track. These stats are especially important in this year’s My Team mode, as you’ll be selecting two drivers to represent your team.

What does each Rating category mean?

Multiple factors make up each driver’s Overall rating. These are broken down as follows:

Experience (EXP): More races equals a higher score. Rookies can be expected to have a lower experience score as the number of F1® races and finishing positions have a bigger impact.
Racecraft (RAC): If this driver has shown their ability in working through the pack, they’ll have a higher Racecraft score. Considerations are given based on their ability to finish the race higher than where they started.
Awareness (AWA): Awareness rewards drivers who avoid the stewards' room. A more severe penalty will have a greater impact on how Awareness is adjusted.
Pace (PAC): The Pace stat reflects how close a driver is to matching the fastest Race and Qualifying lap times for each race weekend, and how that compares to their teammate.
Overall Rating (RTG): Combining these stats together, an Overall rating is given with Pace having the biggest impact.
