AN ominous new list has revealed who is top of the DESTRUCTORS’ Championship.
The table ranks the current F1 drivers on who has cost their team the most amount of damage this season from crashes.
Top 10 in the 2025 destructors’ championship
The driver who has cost their team the most money in crashes
- Gabriel Bortoleto, damage: £2.7million
- Yuki Tsunoda, £2.5million
- Lando Norris, £2million
- Lance Stroll, £1.8million
- Jack Doohan, £1.6million
- Charles Leclerc, £1.5million
- Oscar Piastri, £1.4million
- Isack Hadjar, £1.3million
- Franco Colapinto, £1.2million
- Liam Lawson, £1.4million
Gabriel Bortoleto has been thrust to the top of the list after his horror crash in the sprint race of the Brazilian Grand Prix last time out.
The 21-year-old thankfully was unhurt but was sent to the medical centre as a precaution.
He then crashed AGAIN at his home race on the opening lap of Sunday’s Grand Prix, bringing his total expenses from the weekend to over £2.7million.
It nudged him ahead of the previous leader Yuki Tsunoda, who damaged his front wing in Sao Paulo, meaning Red Bull have spent around £2.5million on his repairs.

Championship leader Lando Norris is third on the list after dramatically crashing out of qualifying in Saudi Arabia and mowing into the back of Oscar Piastri in Canada.
The McLaren driver’s total repair costs amount to around £2million.
Jack Doohan has made it into the top ten despite only taking part in the opening six rounds of the year.
Alpine had to splash the cash for Doohan on a huge, high-speed crash in Japan.
Golden boy Max Verstappen is bottom of the list, having taken on the least amount of damage this year.
He cost Red Bull £176,000 for minor incidents in Miami, Austria and Brazil.
Kimi Antonelli has escaped from the top ten despite causing a pile up on the first lap in Austria and wiping out Max Verstappen.
Carlos Sainz also escaped from the list despite his car catching on fire during the formation lap in Austria.
