After a rare three-way title decider in Abu Dhabi, Michael and Matt run the rule over the 2025 grid to pick the season's 10 best performers — and the drivers deserving of dishonourable mentions.

Lando Norris wins his maiden drivers championship, but Max Verstappen has a career-best season on his way to second, and Oscar Piastri was a deeply foreboding third in just his third Formula 1 campaign. What does that mean for the shape of the 2026 season? Plus, after a record-equalling 24-round season, what did we learn about Formula 1 this year? 

McLaren manages to turn an easy Oscar Piastri victory into a Max Verstappen cruise, hurting the Australian's title campaign and cutting Lando Norris's lead to 12 points over the Dutchman. With three drivers now in contention, what are the permutations for this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

McLaren left Las Vegas with no points after having both cars disqualified for running illegally low. With winner Max Verstappen now just 24 points behind Lando Norris is the drivers title at risk this weekend in Qatar? 

Ferrari chairman John Elkann has told his drivers to talk less and drive more in an apparent attempt to throw them under the bus for the team's winless season to date. But are the drivers really to blame, and can Charles Leclerc or Lewis Hamilton break Ferrari's victory drought in Las Vegas? Plus we look back at the final round fo the MotoGP season and ahead to the first-ever Supercars Grand Final.

Lando Norris has taken a commanding 24-point championship lead after dominating the race weekend in Brazil, but the blow to Oscar Piastri's title hopes was partially inflicted by the stewards, who slapped him with a controversial 10-second penalty. Was the infringement a fair cop or over the top?

We know there’s still one more Grand Prix to race this season, but with the championship wrapped up, second place secured and the fight for third all but decided, we’re taking a moment to look back at an unforgettable 2025.  Renita Vermeulen and Matt Clayton are joined by MotoGP insider Neil Morrison to unpack the defining moments, standout performances and surprise stories that shaped the year PitTalk is sponsored by Shannons Insurance: www.shannons.com.au Watch MotoGP on ch. 506 or via Kayo Sports bit.ly/3wDpMnj Follow us on social: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foxmotorsport Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/fox_motorsport Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fox_motorsport Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@foxsportsaus  Stay up to date on the latest MotoGP News: https://www.foxsports.com.au/motorsport
