F1 2025: Head-to-head race statistics between team-mates

The first rule of Formula 1 is its simplest: Always beat your team-mate. That remains true in F1 2025, too, 75 years on from the sport’s original season.

Because every car is different, the only way to know how a driver is truly performing is by comparing them to the person in the only other version of the exact same car – making these statistics a subject of intrigue season after season. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at the F1 2025 grid.

F1 2025: Head-to-head race statistics between team-mates

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: McLaren

Lando Norris 13-10 Oscar Piastri*
Sprint: Lando Norris 2-3 Oscar Piastri*

Lando Norris has seemingly held Oscar Piastri at arm’s length in their time together so far at McLaren in this metric, winning the head-to-head 17-5 in 2023 before emerging 16-8 ahead in 2024, though Piastri closed the gap to his points total.

In 2025, though, Piastri is looking extremely strong as both McLaren drivers go head-to-head for title glory.

Both drivers hold aims of becoming World Champion in 2025, and the first step to that will be emerging victorious against their team-mate.

*Neither driver finished the United States Grand Prix Sprint in Austin, after a first-lap multi-car collision, and both drivers were disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton 3-18 Charles Leclerc*
Sprint: Lewis Hamilton 3-3 Charles Leclerc

This is the team-mate battle that so many people looked forward to seeing unfold in 2025.

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have made their mutual admiration clear away from the circuit, but it is Leclerc who has already come out on top in both qualifying and race finishes – though the margin has been narrow throughout, as Hamilton remains in touch in the points standings.

*Both drivers were disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix for technical infringements, and both drivers failed to finish the Dutch and Sao Paulo Grands Prix.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Red Bull

Max Verstappen 2-0 Liam Lawson
Sprint: Max Verstappen 1-0 Liam Lawson

Max Verstappen 21-1 Yuki Tsunoda
Sprint: Max Verstappen 4-1 Yuki Tsunoda

Having come out on top 20-2 and then 23-1 against Sergio Perez in the last two seasons, it’s small wonder Christian Horner described the task facing Liam Lawson at the beginning of 2025 as arguably the toughest in Formula 1 as being Max Verstappen’s team-mate.

After just two races, that proved to be too much too soon for Lawson as Red Bull swapped him back to Racing Bulls, with Yuki Tsunoda stepping into the breach. Verstappen has thus far continued his dominance, though Tsunoda got one on the board after Verstappen’s retirement in Austria.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Mercedes

Kimi Antonelli 3-21 George Russell
Sprint: Kimi Antonelli 1-5 George Russell

Having emerged ahead in both qualifying and race trim against a seven-time World Champion in Lewis Hamilton last season, George Russell heads into 2025 with every confidence in his own capabilities against a highly-rated rookie in Kimi Antonelli.

The teenage Italian bypassed Formula 3 entirely and took in just one season in Formula 2 before stepping up to the big time, and is likely to be learning under Russell’s tutelage at this early point in his career.

While Russell had whitewashed Antonelli for most of the season, the rookie got his first positive outcome against Russell in Mexico City.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso 15-8 Lance Stroll*
Sprint: Fernando Alonso 2-3 Lance Stroll*

While Lance Stroll has gradually closed the gap in the head-to-head records so far, Fernando Alonso has held a comfortable lead over his Aston Martin team-mate with 19-3 and 17-7 victories in this metric so far.

Alonso has seldom lost one of these statistics over a long period, too. Of all his team-mates, only Esteban Ocon has emerged on top in a race head-to-head throughout their whole period together – though Alonso will look to a reliability-plagued season at Alpine as part of that.

*Stroll was withdrawn from the Spanish Grand Prix following qualifying, and neither driver finished the United States Grand Prix Sprint.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Alpine

Jack Doohan 2-3* Pierre Gasly
Sprint: Jack Doohan 0-2 Pierre Gasly

Franco Colapinto 7-11 Pierre Gasly
Sprint: Franco Colapinto 1-3 Pierre Gasly

Pierre Gasly was initially paired with F1 rookie Jack Doohan at Alpine, the Australian stepping up from reserve to a race seat.

Following the Miami Grand Prix, Alpine elected to replace Doohan with reserve driver Franco Colapinto, the Argentine initially handed a five-race deal which has continued to this point.

Colapinto has kept Gasly honest in race trim, though the slower-than-anticipated pace at Alpine has meant the pair have been fighting among themselves at times.

*Gasly was disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix for an underweight car.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Haas

Oliver Bearman 11-12 Esteban Ocon
Sprint: Oliver Bearman 4-2 Esteban Ocon

The new Haas duo dubbed itself ‘Bearcon’ as the F1 2025 season got underway, with Esteban Ocon joined by Ollie Bearman at the team.

Bearman impressed on three substitute outings for Ferrari and Haas in 2024 respectively, while Ocon moved after several years and a memorable race victory at Alpine.

British rookie Bearman has shown signs of potential against his experienced teammate, too, with the pair closely matched in the head-to-head standings heading into the closing stages of the season.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Racing Bulls

Isack Hadjar 1-1 Yuki Tsunoda
Sprint: Isack Hadjar 0-1 Yuki Tsunoda

Isack Hadjar 14-7* Liam Lawson
Sprint: Isack Hadjar 3-2 Liam Lawson

Yuki Tsunoda was joined by Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls this season, with Tsunoda having first met Hadjar as a 14-year-old at a Honda scouting event at Suzuka, where he was a judge.

But after Tsunoda’s promotion to Red Bull, Liam Lawson returned to Racing Bulls to go up against the rookie driver. Hadjar has continued to impress, having now secured the season head-to-head in race trim between the two drivers.

*Neither driver finished the British Grand Prix.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Williams

Alex Albon 14-9 Carlos Sainz*
Sprint: Alex Albon 2-4 Carlos Sainz

With the best will possible to Logan Sargeant and a rookie Franco Colapinto, Alex Albon has largely ruled the roost at Williams in his time there.

In the arrival of a four-time race winner in Carlos Sainz, the team has a formidable line-up and an intriguing match-up to go with it.

Albon has already wrapped up the season’s race head-to-head against Sainz, but the Spanish driver scored a valuable podium in Baku in September, and has closed the gap to his teammate as the season has progressed.

*Neither driver finished the Austrian Grand Prix.

F1 2025 head-to-head race record: Sauber

Gabriel Bortoleto 10-12 Nico Hulkenberg*
Sprint: Gabriel Bortoleto 4-2 Nico Hulkenberg

Nico Hulkenberg rejoined Sauber to spearhead the team’s transition to Audi in 2026, having enjoyed an impressive spell at Haas.

He was joined by a back-to-back F3 and F2 champion in Gabriel Bortoleto, who joins Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Oscar Piastri in achieving that rare feat in winning both titles in consecutive seasons – made all the rarer by winning the F3 title in his rookie season, too.

It has been a close match-up between the Sauber pair so far, and their in-house battle looks set to go to the last.

*Nico Hulkenberg was disqualified from the Bahrain Grand Prix for excessive skid plank wear; he crossed the line ahead of his teammate, and Hulkenberg did not start the Italian Grand Prix with a hydraulic issue.
