Qualifying Duels: Who Dominates Their Teammate After the Saudi Arabian GP?

A true judge between teams and drivers, qualifying is the best way to compare the performances of each of the twenty drivers on the grid against their main rival, namely their teammate. Discover here the qualifying duels over all the qualifying sessions of the 2025 season. F1.

The calculation method is simple: the gaps are taken from the last session (Q1, Q2 or Q3) where both drivers are still in the running. So, if a driver qualifies for Q2 but his teammate is eliminated in Q1, then the gap between the two drivers is taken from the Q1 times. If both drivers don't set a time, then we consider a "draw" between the two teammates. Sprint qualifying is not taken into account in our comparison.
