Every F1 Driver is Someone's Favourite... Except Him

Every Formula 1 driver is someone’s favourite… right? But what if one of them genuinely isn’t? In this video, I dive into the results of a massive community survey to answer one simple but surprisingly controversial question: who is the most and the least popular driver on the 2025 F1 grid? Nearly 45,000 of you voted for your single favourite driver, and the results reveal just how biased (and ruthless) the F1 fandom can be. #f1 #formula1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥Other Videos You'll Love! 2025 Driver Ratings |    • Ranking The 2025 F1 Grid From Worst To Best   2025 Predictions Battle |    • I Challenged My Chat To Predict 2025… I Re...   Best F1 Driver EVER? |    • 1,126,863 Votes Decided… Who is the Best F...   2025 Champ.

Some of the results are predictable, others are genuinely shocking, including one hugely successful driver failing to even crack the top 10. From Max Verstappen’s dominance at the top, to fan-favourite Ferraris, rookies trying to build a following, and the driver who finished with less than half a percent of the vote, this video goes from the most loved to the most ignored on the grid. We also combine driver fanbases to rank the most popular teams in Formula 1, and yes — the gap between first and last is brutal. This isn’t about who’s the best driver — it’s about emotion, bias, narratives, screen time, and how F1 fans actually connect with the grid. And if you voted, thank you — this entire video exists because of you. If you enjoy deep dives like this and want me to run it again in 2026 with an even bigger, more global sample (and other F1 creators involved), make sure to drop a like and let me know in the comments who you think is unfairly overlooked… and who you’re shocked even has fans at all. And if you want more community-driven chaos, check out the video linked at the end where I compare your 2025 F1 championship predictions against my own to find out whether I actually know what I’m talking about — or if I should just hand the channel over to you lot.
