Formula 1: Driver Power Rankings after 2018 Monaco Grand Prix
By Asher Fair
Where do the Formula 1 drivers stack up against one another following Daniel Ricciardo’s dominant performance in the Monaco Grand Prix?
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo not only won but dominated the Monaco Grand Prix, the crown jewel on the 2018 Formula 1 schedule. He led every single lap of the race from pole position after leading every single practice session and qualifying session leading up to the race at the 19-turn, 2.074-mile (3.337-kilometer) street circuit in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Ricciardo’s victory ties him with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport’s Lewis Hamilton and Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel for the most victories through six races so far this season. Those three drivers have combined to win the first since race of the season, and they have each won two of those six races.
As a result of the fact that these three drivers from three different teams have all secured two victories so far this season, there are no teams that have had both of their drivers win at least one race yet in 2018.
Ricciardo, who became the second driver to win a race this season when he won the Chinese Grand Prix in April, has now won two of the last four races. His dominant victory in the Monaco Grand Prix vaulted him into third place in the driver standings.
How did the performances of Ricciardo and the rest of the field in the Monaco Grand Prix affect the Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings? Here are the formulated Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings and the non-formulated Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings after the sixth race of the 2018 Formula 1 season.
