The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship was a current motor racing championship for Formula One cars. This was the 76th running of the Formula One World Championship.[a] It is the fourth season of F1 22 Driver Career. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over sixteen Grands Prix.
Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. Charles Leclerc secured his first title at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix while his team, Ferrari, clinched the title at their very same race which was their first since 2022. Lando Norris who was the reigning Drivers' Champion, did not defend his title as he took a sabbatical from the sport, while McLaren was the reigning Constructors' Champion.
This was the final season for two-time World Champion Max Verstappen.

[edit]Scoring system
[edit]Points were awarded to the top ten classified drivers, the driver who set the fastest lap during the Grand Prix (only if one of the top ten), and the top eight of the sprint.[f] In the case of a tie on points a countback system was used where the driver with the most Grand Prix wins was ranked higher. If the number of wins was identical then the number of second places was considered, and so on. The points were awarded for every race using the following system.
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | FL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race | 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Sprint | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |||
