F1 Power Rankings | This British driver moves closest to Verstappen
- GPblog.com
In the F1 Power Rankings of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen gets the highest mark from the judges, as he did in Bahrain. Oliver Bearman is second behind the Dutchman with a particularly high mark.
After each Grand Prix, a Formula1.com panel of five members grade the drivers based on their performance, independent of their car's speed. A ranking is kept throughout the year, which should reveal the best driver at the end of the season.
Who gets the highest rating after the Saudi Arabian GP?
After the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, Verstappen again gets the highest mark. With a 9.6, he is still at the top of the rankings. Oliver Bearman gets the second-highest mark at 9. He owes this to the fact that despite his replacement being quite last-minute, he did very well. The number three driver in this race is Charles Leclerc. His podium finish is good enough for an 8.2.
Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez got an 8.0 and is in fifth place. This is partly due to his five-second penalty. Further in the top ten are Oscar Piastri, Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso, George Russell, Lando Norris and Alexander Albon.
