I booted F1 25 with a coffee in hand and froze on the roster screen; those numbers hit harder than you expect. You know the feeling: one digit changes the strategy, the headline, the season. I want to walk you through what matters before the next session starts.
At Silverstone the timing screens tell a simple truth: milliseconds become reputations. Complete F1 25: 2026 Season Pack driver ratings
I’ve parsed the official list so you don’t have to squint at tiny font while the session ticks down. The Season Pack folds recent results into game-ready numbers from EA Sports and Codemasters — numbers some teams would kill for on race weekend.
Read the table below for the full roster and the core stats you’ll see when the pack drops.

How are driver ratings calculated in F1 25?
EA Sports and Codemasters blend recent race data, season context, and historical performance to produce RTO scores. I treat the list as a snapshot: current form plus career weight. You can expect small updates throughout the season as performances shift.
Who has the highest overall rating in the 2026 Season Pack?
Max Verstappen leads at 95, followed closely by Lando Norris and George Russell. That top tier reflects raw pace and racecraft—drivers who flip qualifying speed into weekend results.
What do EXP, RAC, AWA and PAC mean in-game?
EXP is experience: how many races a driver has under their belt. RAC is racecraft—overtakes, defense, split-second decisions. AWA is awareness, the skill that keeps you out of incidents. PAC is pure pace, the engine of lap-time hunting. I’ll break each down below so you can use them in career mode or multiplayer.
When the pit wall radio chimes, teams interpret a number’s worth of intent. F1 25: 2026 Season Pack driver ratings explained
Think of the Season Pack like a scalpel: it trims the hype and leaves the essential numbers. I use these ratings to set difficulty, match teammates in online lobbies, and judge which drivers will surprise in career mode.
The grid is a chessboard; every move—strategy calls, tyre choices, split-second passes—shows up inside those four core attributes. Here’s how they play out in-game and on track:
- EXP: Experience is not just years—it’s context. Newer talents like Andrea Kimi Antonelli sit lower here, while Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton sit at the top because their season and career history weigh heavily into the score.
- RAC (Racecraft): This affects AI aggression and how drivers defend or exploit gaps. High RAC means the AI will be harder to pass and more likely to string together smart sequences under pressure.
- AWA (Awareness): AWA reduces incidents. On a wet lap or a busy restart, higher awareness equals fewer spins and crashes—useful in endurance-style online sessions or penalties-sensitive leagues.
- PAC (Pace): Pure lap-time potential. If you want to chase pole in Time Trial or set targets in Career, PAC is your baseline.
I recommend tweaking AI sliders in custom races based on these scores: place a 95-rated driver on a higher AI difficulty and you’ll see representative behavior. If you play on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, these numbers make matchmaking and mods more honest—especially in competitive leagues and content creators’ lobbies.
If you’re managing a Career save in F1 25, use this list to set expectations. Young drivers with high RAC or PAC but low EXP are the ones to groom; veterans with massive EXP will out-think you when tyre life becomes a chess match.
EA Sports and Codemasters update ratings across the season, and outlets like Moyens I/O will repost changes, so keep an eye on official patches and community threads on Reddit and Discord for the latest adjustments — they often foreshadow meta shifts in multiplayer.
Which driver’s rating do you think is generous or criminally low, and will that spark a debate among fans and sim racers?
