While Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton maintain their positions at the top of the leaderboard, George Russell’s performances have seen him take the third position from Charles Leclerc. There have been some notable rating changes across the bottom half of the grid as well.
Formula 1 experts David Croft, Alex Jacques, and Anthony Davidson help the studio with assigning the correct ratings.
Six drivers have seen their Overall Ratings increase, with Zhou Guanyu, George Russell and Mick Schumacher receiving the most significant ratings rise.
Despite several race retirements early on in the championship, Alfa Romeo’s Guanyu saw his Overall Rating increase by five, with improved stats in Experience, Racecraft and Pace.
Russell’s podium finishes in the last two races have taken his overall rating from 90 to 92, with substantial improvements in Racecraft and Pace.
Additionally, Schumacher’s performances for Haas at Silverstone and Austria have also increased his Overall Rating by two, with improved scores in Experience, Racecraft and Awareness. Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Daniel Ricciardo have all seen improvements in their ratings.
Inconsistent performances from Monaco to Hungary have seen some drivers’ ratings take a tumble.
Valtteri Bottas, Charles Leclerc and Yuki Tsunoda have seen their Overall Rating reduced mainly due to Pace, while Pierre Gasly’s Awareness and Racecraft have also impacted his score. Esteban Ocon and Nicolas Latifi also lost a point in their Overall Rating.

How Rating is Formed
- Experience (EXP): The number of race starts a driver has over the course of their career
- Racecraft (RAC): The driver’s ability to work their way through the pack and finish in a higher position than where they started
- Awareness (AWA): The less time spent in the Steward’s room will help drivers here. Real-world punishments will impact the score in this category
- Pace (PAC): Benefits those who get closest to the fastest qualifying and race lap times. A driver beating their teammate is also taken into consideration
- Rating (RTG): The combination of the previous four ratings. This overall rating will go up and down throughout the season based on performance
