Issue #650: Merry Christmas

The final edition of 2025 begins with a look back at what has transpired over the past 12 months in the motorsport world in this week’s edition of Start Your Engines, while a little later on, each of our writing staff have selected their favourite moment from the year. With Formula 1 there might have been a close title battle, but there was one driver who ranked head and shoulders above his peers in our driver rankings. Taylor Powling and Daniel Harris break down our top 10 picks. Daniel also had a go at rating how each team performed throughout the 2025 campaign and some of his verdicts may be a little on the controversial side. Likewise, Claire Millins assesses how all 10 teams got on with each other in this week’s Carla’s Corner. Elsewhere, Henry Cheal and Eden Hannigan rank the top 10 riders on the MotoGP grid during the 2025 season, a theme that continues across the pond with Kevin Dejewski covering the NTT IndyCar series. To add to all that, and as it’s our last edition of the year, test how closely you were paying to the action in 2025 with our annual quiz! Plus, we also have all the latest news too on your favourite series. And finally, from all of us (Nathalie, Tiana, Fleur, Claire, Olivia, Lena, Sue, Eden, Phillip, Jack, Phil, Taylor, Kevin, Daniel, Henry, Ryan, David, James and Graham) to all of you, our loyal readers, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
