The new Formula 1 game, F125, will be released on May 30 by EA Sports, but its 'Driver Ratings' for the grid have been released for all to see.
There have been some interesting first ratings from the game, with some of the well-performing drivers so far in 2025 receiving somewhat peculiar ratings.
Max Verstappen is placed first with a rating of 95, followed by Lando Norris with 91. Charles Leclerc also receives a score of 91, but remarkably, championship leader Oscar Piastri is only ranked the eighth highest with an 87 rating.
At the very bottom is Isack Hadjar, with 68. Liam Lawson is significantly higher with 80, just ahead of Lance Stroll. The second-to-last driver is Kimi Antonelli, with 72 points.

The top five: Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, Russell, and Sainz. Lewis Hamilton just misses out in sixth place, along with Fernando Alonso, Piastri, Pierre Gasly, and Esteban Ocon.
We are curious about your opinion! Leave in the comments where you prefer to see the drivers, and whether the ratings somewhat match up when we look at the performances this current season.
