After a three-way title fight at the 2025 Formula 1 finale in Abu Dhabi, McLaren\u2019s Lando Norris secured his first world championship by just two points over four-time and reigning F1 champ Max Verstappen, with Norris\u2019s McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, 11 points further back in third.<\/p>\n
Points make prizes in F1, so does Norris\u2019s 2025 crown make him the standout driver of the season? Or did Verstappen\u2019s relentless chase down of the McLaren duo, including six wins in the final nine grands prix, put him top of the pile? RACER wants you to let us know your star of the season by voting for the 2025 Formula 1 Driver of the Year. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Your vote counts, and maybe it isn\u2019t for Norris or Verstappen? Did Piastri\u2019s breakout season move the needle for you? How about George Russell taking his Mercedes to a pair of GP wins? Or Charles Leclerc hustling a less-than-stellar Ferrari SF-25 to an unbelievable Hungary pole?<\/p>\n
Maybe it\u2019s an F1 rookie who impressed you the most? Anyone for Isack Hadjar putting Racing Bulls on the Zandvoort podium? Or perhaps it\u2019s Carlos Sainz and his inspired late-season surge pulling Williams clear of the midfield pack?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s your call and your votes, and we can\u2019t wait to find out who comes out on top.<\/p>\n
Voting will remain open for 72 hours, and we\u2019ll be announcing your 2025 Formula 1 Driver of the Year on January 15.<\/p>\n
Plus, coming soon: vote for your 2025 NTT IndyCar Series and NASCAR drivers of the year, and sports car marque of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a three-way title fight at the 2025 Formula 1 finale in Abu Dhabi, McLaren\u2019s Lando Norris secured…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-380786","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-formula-1","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-f1","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-formula1","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
