Podiums, Points Records, and P2:

Our Season in Numbers

P2 in Numbers

Our final points total of 469 was enough to secure second in the Constructors’ championship by 19 points from Red Bull.

The team averaged of 19.5 points per race. Of the 30 points-scoring races – including Sprints – in 2025, the team scored in all but two. Those exceptions were the Grand Prix in Monaco, and the Sprint in Belgium.

Our best points haul of 43 came from the Sprint weekend in São Paulo. Our best tally from a non-Sprint weekend came from Canada (40).

From 24 weekends this season, the team returned home in P2 in the Constructors’ on 16 occasions. Ferrari occupied P2 after the other eight.

It is the second time in three seasons we have finished P2 (2023) and continues Mercedes’ run of finishing in the top four in every season but one since joining the sport in 2010.

Leading from the Front

Statistically, this was George’s best-ever season in Formula 1.

The nine podiums he scored in W16 is his best return from a season since 2022 when he scored eight.

Two pole positions, and two wins, helped him on his way to a career-best points tally of 319, and an equal-best drivers’ standings finish of P4 (something he also achieved in 2022).

That’s an average of 13.2 points per weekend – almost the equivalent of a podium – beating his previous record of 12.5 in 2022.

In Canada, career win number four was secured thanks to his maiden F1 hat-trick, which aptly included a fastest lap set on lap 63.

Speaking of 63, George’s P2 in Bahrain was his 63^rd with the Silver Arrows.

He was the only drive to finish every competitive session inside the top five until the Grand Prix at Emilia-Romagna, and before being knocked out in Q2 with mechanical issues in Monaco, he had compiled the longest active run of consecutive Q3 appearances on the grid with 18.

Las Vegas marked George’s 150^th F1 Grand Prix since his debut in Australia in 2019. At the same weekend he scored his 1,000^th F1 point.

Seven days later in Qatar he achieved his 1,000^th point with Mercedes.

When he crossed the line on the lead lap in Abu Dhabi, he became just the fifth driver in F1 history to have completed every single Grand Prix lap in a season, joining Michael Schumacher (2002), Lewis Hamilton (2019), Max Verstappen (2023), and Oscar Piastri (2024) as the only driver to achieve this feat.

George’s magic number for 2025 was 1,442 laps. Of these, George led 103.

He ends the season on the longest active points-scoring run on the grid (16) having scored points in every Grand Prix since Monaco.

George is currently on a run of 33 consecutive classified finishes, dating back to the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix.

Age is Just a Number

Kimi became the 13^th driver in history to start a Grand Prix for Mercedes when he arrived in Melbourne at the start of the season.

When the lights went out in Australia, he became the third-youngest driver to start an F1 Grand Prix aged just 18 years, six months, and 19 days old.

Fifty-seven laps later he became the second youngest points scorer in F1 history when he crossed the line P4.

Two races later in Japan, the 18-year-old Italian not only the youngest driver to lead a lap, beating the previous record by Max Verstappen by three days, but also the youngest to record a fastest lap in a Grand Prix.

In total, Kimi led 11 laps of his debut F1 season. 10 at Suzuka, and one in Canada.

By finishing P6 at Suzuka, Kimi became just the third driver in F1 history to finish in the points in their first three races as rookie. Lewis Hamilton (2007) and Jackie Stewart (1965) are the only others to do this.

In Miami, Kimi became the youngest ever polesitter in our sport’s history by claiming P1 for the Sprint race.

Four races later in Canada, Kimi moved into third on the all-time list for youngest F1 podium scorers by finishing third in Montreal – his first piece of Grand Prix silverware.

His strongest weekend of the season came at Interlagos in Brazil, where he scored 25 points.

That weekend in São Paulo also saw Kimi pass Oscar Piastri’s rookie-season points tally (97) using the current scoring system.

He ended the season on his longest run of consecutive points finishes with five.

Since 2000, only two other drivers have finished their rookie season with more podiums than Kimi’s three. These were Juan Pablo Montoya (4, in 2001) and Lewis Hamilton (12, 2007)

Three Centuries and Counting

Back in China, George’s P3 marked the 300^th time a Mercedes works car had stood on a Grand Prix podium.

We became the fourth Constructor to achieve this figure after Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams.

The first had come all the way back in 1954 with Juan Manuel Fangio’s win at the French Grand Prix, the three-pointed star’s first race in the sport.

In total, the team picked up 12 podium trophies across the course of the season, our best return since 2022, when we finished on the rostrum 17 times.

By finishing third in Miami with George, the team completed the set of having claimed a podium at all 24 of the tracks on the 2025 F1 calendar.

In total, the team completed 2,751 racing laps.

Sprint Silverware

The team amassed four Sprint podiums from six events in 2025, our best return since 2021.

These all came in the final three Sprint weekends of the season. George collected P2 in Austin and Qatar while a double podium was secured at Interlagos with Kimi in P2 and George in P3.

The result in Austin was the team’s 10^th podium in the format.

In all, 45 of the team’s final points total in 2025 came from Sprint races. This is the team’s best return from the format since it was introduced in 2021.

A Historical Hybrid Era

The 12^th and final F1 Hybrid Era finished how it started, with Mercedes on top. The Constructors’ crown was title number 10 from 12 seasons, and Lando Norris’ Drivers’ Championship win was the eighth in the hybrid era and 14^th overall.

Brixworth finished the season wins 16 wins from 24 races, and a further 32 podiums spread across five drivers: George, Kimi, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz.

That is the highest number of podium trophies collected by Mercedes-Benz power ever in a Formula 1 season.

2025 was also the first time in F1 history that Mercedes-powered teams finished 1-2 in the Constructors’ standings.

Belgium in August saw Mercedes-Benz celebrate 600 F1 Grands Prix as an engine manufacturer, which started back at the 1954 French Grand Prix.

The British Grand Prix also saw the team celebrate the 70-year anniversary of a Silver Arrows 1-2-3-4 at Aintree in 1955.
