The three drivers besting Max Verstappen in crucial F1 comparison

04/27/2025 08:45 AM

Despite scoring 97.75% of Red Bull's points after five races of the F1 season, Max Verstappen does not top the list of drivers with the highest percentage of points scored against their team-mates. As of the Saudi Arabian GP, Verstappen has 87 of Red Bull's 89 points, with only Yuki Tsunoda's ninth-place in Bahrain contributing anything to Red Bull's tally.  Instead, three drivers on the grid currently have a 100% record of points scored versus their team-mates. Lance Stroll (10), Pierre Gasly (6), and Nico Hulkenberg (6) are the only scorers from Aston Martin, Alpine, and Stake, respectively, with Fernando Alonso, Jack Doohan and Gabriel Bortoleto all yet to get off the mark.  The table below shows that the closest team-mate pairing are the McLaren drivers, with Oscar Piastri on 52.65% of points scored to Lando Norris's 47.35%.  Check out the table below, and the article continues below the table. Percentage of points scored As of the Jeddah race, 16 drivers have scored at least one point, with the last new driver to get off the mark being Gasly's seventh in Bahrain.  Liam Lawson joins Alonso, Doohan and Bortoleto in not yet getting any points on the board, with Alonso on his worst point-less run since the start of a season since going without between the 2017 Australian to Canadian GPs - a run of five races. He did not start in Russia and was not entered in Monaco as he competed in the Indy 500 that year.  The last season to feature every driver who started at least one race to score a point was in 2018. NOTE: For Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda in the table below, their results are by team. For instance, Lawson's result for Red Bull is the best he achieved for them, and the same for Tsunoda. The same also applies to their respective results for Racing Bulls. Best race results of 2025
