Cervera’s time was a great final sector, beating Acosta’s best time by just 88,000ths of a second. The upcoming duel between the two Spaniards in Portimao promises strong emotions.

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?

The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.

On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.

Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.

The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.

After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”

When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:

“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”
