F1 2025 qualifying head-to-head: Japanese GP

Here's how things stand in 2025 team-mate duels following qualifying at Formula 1's Japanese Grand Prix.

After every F1 qualifying session, Motorsport.com publishes each team's qualifying record in terms of team-mate battles.

This record is based exclusively on qualifying results so that grid penalties don't alter the statistics.

When a driver can't put in a representative lap time due to a technical issue or an incident, this will be mentioned in the table.
