We had rarely encountered a new batch of Rookies that suddenly enter the Formula 1 As we saw earlier this season 2025. In last March, in the Australian GP, up to five pilots fulfilled their dream and debuted in Formula 1: Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan Y Oliver Bearman.
Being roakie of the season, at the level of sensations and not numbers, is very subjective. But it is true that in this first half of the season there are two names that are protruding above others: Bortoleto and Hadjar.
Starting with the Brazilian, the Young Pupil of the Fernando Alons AcademyOr, he had the ballot to debut with which a priori was the worst grid car: the Sauber. However, the F2 and F3 champion seems to have found the key in the last races and, without going any further, in Hungary ended sixth. Bortoleto is 17th in the World Cup with 14 points But in three of the last four appointments it has been within the Top10. Fernando is clear: “It is the greatest talent of its generation. If it were English, it would be the cover of all newspapers“He released in the corralito of Hungaroring.
The one who won the hearts of many fans at the beginning of the year, but, it was Hadjar. While in Red Bull they had a mess of biblical proportions with Tsunoda and Lawson to see who should be Verstappen's partner, the Frenchman focused on his role, marveled and managed to finish up to four times within the points zone. Even in Monaco he succeeded. Before the break did not have too much luck, yes, and it is 13rd in the general with 22 points.
Antonelli, under the spotlights
At the controls of a Mercedes it is easier for Antonelli to add points. However, what started quite well, is gradually becoming a nightmare. The 18 -year -old is the great bet of the Brackley and even responded with a PODE EN Canadthe. However, In half of the races it has been left out of the top10 And Russell is to a world with the same car.
Toto Wolff wanted to give him the opportunity with hardly any experience in cars. He loved his new Verstappen. At the moment, Antonelli It is seventh in the World Cup with 64 points. It is 220 points from the World Cup leader, Oscar Piastri, and 108 of his partner. Too far.
The most discreet
The one who is not having much luck is either is Oliver Bearman. The British of Haas is fulfilling quite well but has been many races staying at the doors of the points. He came to add four 11 consecutive positions. He has only entered the top10 three times and is 19th in the general with only eight points.
But, without a doubt, The worst debutante was Jack Doohan. The Australian was already convicted even before starting because the clear will of Briatore and Alpine was to place Franco Colapint in his position. Only a great start would have saved the son of the MotoGP Pentacampeón, but far from that, he starred in several accidents and They threw him out of his post after six races and not a point.
Thus, with 10 races ahead, there is still a lot of cloth to cut and to leave the first season of the F1 as the true young sensation of the year. It is not easy to get victorious because cars are very different one of the others, so outstanding performances are the best measure to measure. There are a few months left to continue trying to impress a fierce and cruel paddock.
