Autosport Top 50 of 2025: #47 Lewis Hamilton
6th in Formula 1
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.
Much hype accompanied Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari this season, but any hopes that Maranello could carry forward its strong late-2024 form into the new season were quickly scuppered.
That meant a fourth successive season of angst and self-doubt as Hamilton’s year dissolved after the high point of the sprint win at Shanghai – Ferrari’s only victory of the season.
Elsewhere he was outpaced by team-mate Charles Leclerc in qualifying, by fractions of a second that were small but costly as performance converged across the grid in the final year of F1’s second ground-effect era.
