The most dramatic Drivers’ title comebacks in F1 history

Max Verstappen has dramatically reignited the championship fight, slashing the points gap to McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris after impressive victories at Monza and Baku. With just 69 points now separating the top three drivers and seven Grands Prix plus three Sprint weekends remaining, the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship is widely considered a thrilling three-horse race. This potential comeback echoes some of Formula 1's most legendary title turnarounds. Past seasons have seen incredible come-from-behind victories, including James Hunt’s 1976 triumph over Niki Lauda, Kimi Räikkönen’s unexpected 2007 title, Sebastian Vettel’s 2012 recovery, and Lewis Hamilton’s 2014 resurgence against Nico Rosberg, highlighting the unpredictable nature of F1.
