Drivers ranked by accident costs in 2025
The season isn't over yet, but preliminary conclusions can already be drawn. RacingNews365 calculated the cost of crashes in 2025.
There were relatively few serious crashes in the 2025 season. Only young drivers appear in the top ten of the unofficial ranking, but it also includes some championship leaders. The crash costs were estimated approximately — based on parts-price data from open sources — but teams declare these costs in their financial documents, so the estimate is nearly exact.
