How did the 10 teams fare last season in the Formula 1 world championship, according to our rankings across the season?

Across the 2025 F1 season, we ranked each driver out of 20, with the best driver getting the maximum score of 20 per race weekend, and each driver below that got one less (2nd – 19, 3rd – 18, etc).

As such, with each point given, those points were also allocated to their respective team.

Taking into account driver changes across the season, we have worked out a method to ensure each team keeps their tally accurate.

For example, any points accrued for Liam Lawson at Red Bull, in his two-race stint, were included in Red Bull’s overall count. The same for Alpine and Racing Bulls.

So how did each team match up for the season?

Alpine – 216 points

Alpine had a turbulent year, and its position in the list reflects that. They made a driver change after six races, replacing Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto for the remainder of the season. Additionally, Oliver Oakes resigned, with Flavio Briatore taking his place.

The low points score was primarily carried by Pierre Gasly, with Colapinto and Doohan taking up the rear, in what was the worst car on the grid of 2025.

Kick Sauber – 329 Points

Compared to the year before, Sauber had a better year in its final F1 season as it transitioned to Audi for the new world championship campaign.

Nico Hulkenberg gave the team their best highlight of the year as his podium drought came to an end at the British Grand Prix, with a third-place finish.

Haas – 397 Points

The American outfit had a decent season with notable moments across the season. Oliver Bearman’s fourth-place finish at the Mexico City Grand Prix was one such notable moment, placing his shaky start and costly rookie errors into the shadows.

Haas’ Esteban Ocon-Bearman line-up seems to be working well for the team as they helped score more points than last year, increasing by 21 points, despite a drop in the championship standings.

The continued stability, with Ayao Komatsu continuing at the helm, bodes well for the team heading into 2026, which will be rivalled by Cadillac’s arrival.

Aston Martin – 372 Points

It was an okay season for Aston Martin, pulling their car out of the early trouble, with only 10 points earned in the first five races. It took nine rounds before two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso claimed his first set of championship points.

However, the team stumbled back compared to the previous year, dropping from fifth to eighth.

Heading into 2026 as a works team with Honda and with newly-appointed Team Principal, and legendary car designer, Adrian Newey at the helm, the team will be hoping for better successes than late.

Racing Bulls – 427 Points

Red Bulls’ sister squad had a strong season across the board, moving up to sixth in the constructors’ championship, jumping up two places from eighth last season, clearing their previous points total.

The team did not seem to be impacted by the change of leadership as Laurent Mekies left the team to take over at the helm at Red Bull Racing. Isack Hadjar’s maiden podium in Zandvoort would be the team’s highlight of the season, after Lando Norris’ mechanical retirement.

Williams – 480 Points

Compared to the previous season, Williams stood as the most-improved team of the 2025 season, increasing their standing in the championship from ninth in 2024 to fifth in 2025.

Their strong line-up of Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon saw them increase their points tally by 120 points over the previous year, in addition to two podium finishes at Azerbaijan and Qatar, with a sprint top-three in Austin, USA.

Red Bull Racing – 578 Points

Whilst Red Bull finished the season strongly, their early performances did not instil confidence that they would be competitive across the season, in an era where Red Bull dominated. It has been a turbulent year for the team.

Max Verstappen carried the torch for the team, producing an unlikely title fight in the later stages of the season.

But the teams’ ever-lasting struggles with the second driver hindered their rankings, after axing Liam Lawson for Yuki Tsunoda after two races, then axing the Japanese driver at the end of the year.

With the introduction of Ford to the team, they will be hoping for a calmer and better season in 2026.

Ferrari – 702 Points

Ferrari had a fall from grace this season, and it is surprising they are not lower down in this list. After going from championship contenders in 2024 for the team’s title, they lost their competitive edge in 2025.

It could be said that Ferrari’s decision to go for an all-new car in 2025, in the last season of the current regulation cycle, put the final nail in their coffin.

Their only highlight of the season would be back in China for the Chinese Sprint, where Lewis Hamilton claimed his first and only win for Ferrari.

That itself didn’t go without trouble as teams drivers were both disqualified for technical breaches in the main grand prix, seemingly shaking their confidence for the remainder of the season.

Mercedes – 757 Points

Whilst they were not in a position to truly fight for the constructors’ or drivers’ championships, Mercedes still had an impressive season to take them up to vice-champions in 2025.

Increasing their fortunes from last year, going from fourth overall to second.

Not only for the team, but the drivers also had a decent year too, with George Russell picking up two wins across the season in Canada and Singapore.

Kimi Antonelli, despite a rocky middle stage of the season, was the strongest rookie on the grid, claiming his first-ever pole position during the Miami Grand Prix Sprint.

McLaren – 855 Points

The current, defending and reigning world champions had one of their best seasons in recent years to clinch their second consecutive world title, in addition to their first driver’s title since Hamilton in 2008.

In the early stages, it was easy to figure out that McLaren were on hot form and it quickly became a case of when McLaren wins the title, not if. But, in the later stages, the team put themselves in unnecessary risk.

McLaren were lucky not to lose the driver’s title to Verstappen as their internal power struggle, revolving the papaya rules, found the team unable to cleanly prioritise one driver over another.

They had the best car and one of the strongest driver pairings on the grid, and had their internal rule-set prioritised a driver in the latter stages, they wouldn’t have put themselves in unnecessary danger.
