FINAL RESULT
THE SHORTLISTNominated drivers
Your ballot is not limited to this shortlist.


☁️
Cloud
Mercedes2512.3%
- ☁️Five wins, nine podiums and 269 points in D0 delivered a second straight WDC, then Cloud won Brazil anyway after every major title was already settled. When the grid asks who won, “Cloud” is still the safest answer.


⚡
Zopz
Red Bull3818.6%
- ⚡One win, four podiums and 160 points made Zopz D0 runner-up in the deepest field on the grid. He beat the benchmark he had spent the previous season looking up to, snatched P2 at Abu Dhabi’s final corner, and finished ten points clear of piastrigoat.


↗
Kat
Haas5426.5%
- ↗After Japan, Kat was 29 points behind Webbah and the D2 title looked gone. She won Monza and Abu Dhabi, then went three-wide with everything to lose in Brazil and sealed the championship anyway—turning that deficit into a 35-point final advantage.


🔥
Walter
Ferrari157.4%
- 🔥Four seasons after his last IMS campaign, Walter returned and immediately fought for the D2 title. A win, five podiums and P2 in Abu Dhabi carried him past Webbah into the finale as Kat’s nearest challenger: a revival complete even without the crown.


♻
Queno
Aston Martin136.4%
- ♻Queno came back from feeling “over and done with” and became a champion again. He sealed D3 with two rounds to spare at Monza—the circuit where his IMS career began—adding a second WDC five seasons after his first.
