If you want to know how an F1 driver or team is faring in pre-season testing, then you could do a lot worse than checking the number of laps that they have clocked up compared to their rivals.

Drivers tend to cover the most mileage in sessions that run smoothly, with reliable cars and efficient, planned work in the garage. In contrast, when things go wrong, the lap count can plummet.

Any data from F1 pre-season testing can be misleading and should be taken with a pinch of salt, but a team with a high lap count and a respectable showing on the time-sheet starts to look promising for the grands prix ahead.

With that in mind, we’ve listed below the total lap counts for each driver, team and power unit from 2025 F1 testing, up to the end of the morning session on Day 2.
