Las Vegas 2025 — PPFL Race Report

Round 22 · Las Vegas Street Circuit, United States of America · 2025-11-22

Race Summary

We saw the biggest PPFL swing of the season in Las Vegas because both McLaren drivers were disqualified, turning two popular picks into major point losses. Max Verstappen led the PPFL scoring with 44 points thanks to the win, fastest lap, and bonuses, while Mercedes hit the constructor ceiling with 52 points by putting both cars on the podium and both in the points. The single most important driver result for PPFL managers was Kimi Antonelli scoring 29 points from P17 on the grid, with the maximum positions gained bonus. Managers who avoided McLaren and leaned into Mercedes or Verstappen gained immediate ground with only two rounds left.

Top Performers

Underperformers

Constructor Performance

Mercedes was the clear PPFL winner with 52 points, driven by the biggest constructor bonus stack available: both cars finished (+5), both cars in points (+10), and two podium finishes (+10) on top of strong race points. Red Bull scored 39 points because Verstappen’s win and podium bonus carried the team even with Yuki Tsunoda outside the points, while Ferrari reached 29 points by placing both cars in the points for the +10 bonus. The major miss was McLaren on 8 points: strong qualifying points were not enough to offset losing all race scoring and missing every constructor bonus due to the double disqualification.

Championship Implications

In the F1 standings, Lando Norris stayed on 390 points, while Max Verstappen moved to 366 points, level with Oscar Piastri on 366 after the McLaren double DSQ. With two races remaining, PPFL managers backing Verstappen gained a major scoring advantage this round, while McLaren-heavy teams took a direct hit that could decide league positions.
