Formula 1, judgment time for the five rookies: who shines and who doesn’t

With the GP d’Hungary won by Norris, there are already 14 GPs played in the F1 2025 World Championship. With 10 stages left in the season, it is time for first judgments. In addition to the “greats” spotlight is on the rookies. As known, there are as many as five rookies in this F1 World Championship, namely Antonelli, Bortoleto, Hadjar, Bearman and Lawson.

Except for the last two (they had already made some “presence” in F1), Antonelli, Bortoleto and Hadjar were at their very first experience with F1. The Italian driver, Mercedes’ big bet, is the one who collected the most points among the rookies (64) and is also the’only one who can boast of a podium finish (third place in Canada). Weigh, however, the four retirements in the final judgment, which is still positive.

After a terrifying start to the season, Bortoleto, in the Kick Sauber, has changed pace in the last four GPs (two eighth places and a sixth place, a total of 14 points). Sponsored by Alonso, the 20-year-old Brazilian is doing great.

Hadjar and Lawson also did their homework. The two Racing Bulls drivers have shown, albeit in flashes, their talent, as confirmed by the 42 total points brought home for the stable.

Bearman, driver of Haas, won “only” eight points but luck was not often on his side, as confirmed by the four GPs finished in 11th place overall. After the summer break, it will still be battle between the five Formula 1 rookies.
