New Driver Rating in F1 2020: Verstappen into second place, Albon drops to P17

The Red Bull Racing driver sees his overall score drop from 79 to 77. As a result, the British Thai drops from a shared fourteenth place to seventeenth place. Lando Norris, Lance Stroll and Kevin Magnussen are the drivers who benefit from this.

At the top, World Cup leader Lewis Hamilton has to admit a lot of points in the awareness section, but this does not affect his overall rating of 94. Max Verstappen had to share second place at the release of the game with Valtteri Bottas, but this is no longer the case. The Dutchman comes out at a score of 91.

It was also striking that Sebastian Vettel was preferred to teammate Charles Leclerc. This is still the case after the update, although the gap is a lot smaller. Furthermore, after his good performance in the AlphaTauri, Pierre Gasly belongs to one of the biggest climbers, while Nicholas Latifi in his debut year still manages to make little impression and sees his rating drop to 62.
