Formula 1 Reserve Drivers for 2025 - Find Out Who Could Step Up & Race If Needed!
The 2025 F1 season is fully underway!
As the 20 Formula 1 drivers – including champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton – hit the grid for each race weekend, there are several more waiting in the wings.
Each Formula 1 team has two drivers on the grid for each race, given they have a car, but just in case a driver can’t perform their race duties, there are reserve drivers to step in in case of illness, injury or maybe even suspension.
The reserve drivers will also be in attendance at most, if not all, grand prix weekends, at the chance they may need to be called up to race.
In addition to sitting on the sidelines, they also have other duties within the team, which may include simulator work, sitting in engineering meetings, testing, and more.
We are taking a look at every F1 reserve driver that has been announced for the 2025 season, so far.
