Ranking every Formula 1 teams’ 2025 season so far with Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull analysed

Follow us on Google Discover

McLaren hold a commanding lead in the constructors’ championship as the 2025 season enters the summer break. The Woking outfit have claimed 11 wins out of 14 Grands Prix.

With six 1-2 finishes and one race where Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris failed to score a podium, McLaren look almost guaranteed to defend their constructors’ crown. They lead Ferrari by a staggering 299 points, leaving the Maranello outfit to fight Mercedes and Red Bull for second.

With the field closer than ever in 2025, evidenced by the Hungarian GP having the closest margin between pole position and 10th in qualifying in the sport’s history, competition is intense across the grid.

As the 2025 season reaches the halfway point, F1 Oversteer has assessed every F1 team’s season thus far and given them a ranking from A-F.

Alpine – F (Championship: 10th, 20 points)

Bottom of the standings, bottom of this ranking, and by some distance. Alpine are a mess in every department; they have the slowest package on the grid, and they are incredibly lucky to have tied down Pierre Gasly to a long-term deal, with the Frenchman performing wonders in poor machinery.

He is the Enstone outfit’s only source of points in 2025. Jack Doohan struggled to adapt to the A525, with the speculation about his future not helping matters. Franco Colapinto has fared no better as his replacement, with Flavio Briatore now debating whether to bring in the team’s fourth driver of the year.

Haas – C ( Championship: 9th, 35 points)

F1 experts see Haas as having the fifth-fastest car, but the Ferrari-powered American outfit have not shown that on the scoreboard. This is not to say that they have been underwhelming, but instead, they have been rather unlucky.

Oliver Bearman had a streak of four 11th-place finishes before the Hungarian GP, while Esteban Ocon has displayed some standout performances in the VF-25 that keep him in the top 10 of the championship. The pair can be quick in the car, but operational errors have hampered Haas this season.

Racing Bulls – B (Championship: 8th, 45 points)

Red Bull’s sister team have been hugely impressive in 2025, with regular Q3 appearances making them a force in the midfield. Isack Hadjar has been the best rookie of the season, but he will be looking to score more consistent points from his strong qualifying displays.

Liam Lawson has regained his confidence after his sacking from Red Bull, with strong races at Spielberg, Spa and Budapest. The VCARB 02 is a much easier car to drive, and their drivers are taking full advantage; Laurent Mekies’ departure for Red Bull has done little to deter Racing Bulls thus far.

Sauber – A (Championship: 7th, 51 points)

Sauber have made incredible improvements since 2024, which saw them only score four points courtesy of Zhou Guanyu at the penultimate race of the season. Jonathan Wheatley has already made significant changes that have transformed the Hinwil outfit into a contender in the midfield.

Nico Hulkenberg ended his podium drought at Silverstone, securing P3 and Sauber’s first podium since 2012, while Gabriel Bortoleto has consistently outqualified him and taken his C45 into Q3 more often than not in recent races. Exciting times ahead for the team, especially with Audi coming in 2026.

Aston Martin – C (Championship: 6th, 52 points)

Aston Martin are still recovering from their regression since 2023. The Silverstone outfit had a torrid start to 2025, with Fernando Alonso failing to score points until Barcelona.

Lance Stroll picked up the pieces to grab a handful of points in the opening races, but Alonso has now equalled his tally. The Hungarian GP saw Aston Martin finish an impressive P5 and P7; whether this is the turning point in an average season is to be seen.

Williams – B (Championship: 5th, 70 points)

Williams have dramatically improved in 2025 as they sit as the best of the rest in the standings. Alex Albon is the top of the midfield drivers, while Carlos Sainz has struggled to convert strong qualifying results into points finishes.

The Grove outfit’s ranking would have been higher had it not been for a drop in form in recent races, with 16 points in the last six events. Sainz says Williams have fallen short with development in 2025, and that could cost them fifth in the standings if they do not solve their issues with the FW47.

Red Bull – D (Championship: 4th, 194 points)

Red Bull are relying on Max Verstappen more than ever in 2025. While he has been excellent in the tricky RB21, the team would be last in the constructors’ championship without his points.

Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda have suffered horribly in the car, with the woes of the second seat worsening from last season. The latter was closer to Verstappen than ever before in Budapest, but they simply have to get him scoring points. Red Bull cannot rely on one driver to win a championship.

Mercedes – C (Championship: 3rd, 236 points)

A C grade for Mercedes might be harsh, but the team’s inconsistency has let them down in 2025. Since George Russell claimed victory in Canada, they have scored only one podium, courtesy of the Brit at Budapest, while Kimi Antonelli has registered just one point since Montreal.

Mercedes saw signs of improvement when they reverted to their old rear suspension, but their title aspirations are all but over. A reset is needed over the summer break, but they will be banking on the 2026 F1 regulations to return to the top.

Ferrari – D (Championship: 2nd, 260 points)

They may be second in the standings, but Ferrari have been bitterly disappointing in 2025. The SF-25 has had such a small operating window, with Charles Leclerc scoring all of the team’s five podiums thus far.

The Maranello outfit are still without a win and Lewis Hamilton continues his search for his first podium in red. Despite Ferrari’s radical new rear suspension, the 40-year-old still cannot get to grips with the car, which led to the sensational admission that he should be replaced in Hungary.

McLaren – A (Championship: 1st, 559 points)

11 wins, eight pole positions and 24 podiums. McLaren’s ranking is blatantly obvious and that is unlikely to change come the end of the season.

The MCL39 has blitzed the field in 2025 and will certainly claim the constructors’ title for the team within the next few races. The only concern McLaren have now is how they manage Piastri and Norris in the title fight, with nine points separating them in the summer break.
