With 19 races in the books and two remaining on the 2018 Formula 1 schedule, how do the sport’s 10 teams rank against one another?
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen dominated the 19th race of the 21-race 2018 Formula 1 season, the Mexican Grand Prix, to deliver Red Bull Racing their fourth victory of the season. They have not won four races in a single season since they won 13 races in the 2013 season.
Verstappen’s victory in the 71-lap race around the 17-turn, 2.674-mile (4.304-kilometer) Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, Mexico made Red Bull Racing the only team to have both of their drivers earn multiple victories this season.
Up until the United States Grand Prix, which took place one week before the Mexican Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing were also the only team to have both of their drivers to earn at least one victory this season.

However, Scuderia Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen changed this by earning his first victory of the season in this race. His teammate, Sebastian Vettel, had already earned five victories so far in 2018.
Red Bull Racing have had three victories since Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix in early July. His victory in that race is what made the Milton Keynes-based team the only team to have both of their drivers win at least one race this season, as Daniel Ricciardo won both the Chinese Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix for the team in mid-April and late May, respectively.
Red Bull Racing have not had both of their drivers earn multiple victories in a single season before since the 2012 season, as all 13 of their victories in the 2013 season were earned by Vettel. Vettel earned five victories in the 2012 season for the team while Mark Webber earned two.
With the Mexican Grand Prix in the books, how do the Formula 1 Team Power Rankings look? Here are the formulated Formula 1 Team Power Rankings and the non-formulated Formula 1 Team Power Rankings with two races remaining on the 2018 schedule.
