The F1 25 Driver Ratings have officially been unveiled by EA SPORTS and Codemasters ahead of the game's launch on May 30.

Combining historical sporting data, recent performances, and consultation from TV commentators and pundits, Driver Ratings reflect overall skill level and influence how the driver's AI performs on the track. Simply put, the higher they are, the better they are.

Stats are broken down into four categories: Experience (EXP), Racecraft (RAC), Awareness (AWA), and Pace (PAC). These are then combined to create the Overall Rating, with Pace having the biggest impact.

He's not wrong, either. The current Formula One world championship leader, Oscar Piastri, is controversially down in eighth with an Overall Rating of 87. However, it will come as no surprise to see 95-Rated Max Verstappen take first place following his fourth consecutive championship win.
