With 15 races on the 21-race 2018 Formula 1 schedule in the books, how do the sport’s 20 drivers rank against one another?

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport’s Lewis Hamilton earned his seventh victory of the 2018 Formula 1 season in the Singapore Grand Prix, the 15th of 21 races on the schedule, at Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Hamilton’s victory in the 61-lap race around the 23-turn, 3.147-mile (5.065-kilometer) Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore is his seventh victory in the last 12 races, his fourth victory in the last five races and his second victory in a row.

The 33-year-old Briton now has a two-victory lead over the driver with the second highest victory total so far this season. This driver, Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, has earned five victories in 2018, but he has won just three of the last 13 races.

The only two other drivers who have won at least one race so far this season are Aston Martin Red Bull Racing teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen. The former won the Chinese Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix and the latter won the Austrian Grand Prix.

Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen have still not won a race this season, and they are the only drivers among the top three teams, which have combined to win the last 112 Formula 1 races, who have not yet done so.

Bottas’s most recent victory came in the 2017 season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and Raikkonen’s most recent victory came in the 2013 season opener, the Australian Grand Prix, when he was in his second and final season driving for Lotus.

How did Hamilton’s seventh victory of the season and the rest of the action from the season’s 15th race 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 action from Marina Bay Street Circuit.
