Autosport Top 50 of 2025: #36 Nicklas Nielsen
3rd in World Endurance Championship
Top 50 Drivers of 2025
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2025. Here are the results.
It is almost impossible to separate Nicklas Nielsen and team-mate Antonio Fuoco in the second Ferrari 499P. The Qatar season-opener set the tone: there was just 0.002s between them on a 50-lap average.
At Le Mans, the margin using a 75-lap sample was 0.003s. It was advantage – if it can be called that – Nielsen both times. To call the Dane and Fuoco the stand-outs wouldn’t be quite right, but they had a consistency of performance that was lacking elsewhere in the line-up.
The pity is they weren’t in contention for the title going to the finale courtesy of their Le Mans disqualification.
