F1i Driver Ratings for the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix

Nico Hulkenberg – Sauber (DNF) 7/10

Hulkenberg went in swinging at Turn 1, muscling past Leclerc early — only to see his race end in a collision with Gasly as the pair dueled through Turn 1. Gutsy start, unlucky finish. On pace or not, sometimes F1 is simply unkind.

Oliver Bearman – Haas (DNF) 7/10

Bearman appeared to have a shot at points until an unsafe pit‑stop release triggered a penalty and then a DNF. Not the conclusion he hoped for, but the Brit keeps proving talent with a strong midfield fighting spirit.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
