Formula 1: Team Power Rankings after 2018 French Grand Prix
By Asher Fair
How do the 10 Formula 1 teams stack up against one another following the eighth race of the 2018 season, the French Grand Prix?
Eight of the 21 races on the 2018 Formula 1 schedule are in the books with the French Grand Prix having been completed last Sunday, meaning the 2018 season is now officially more than one-third of the way over.
With eight of the season’s 21 races having been completed, one fact continues to hold true, and it will likely continue to hold true throughout the rest of the season and into future seasons.
That fact is the fact that no teams other than Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, Scuderia Ferrari or Aston Martin Red Bull Racing have won a race since the 2013 season opener, the Australian Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen, who drove for Lotus at that time, won that race.
