With the controversial 2019 Canadian Grand Prix in the books, where do the 20 Formula 1 drivers rank in the Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings?

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport’s Lewis Hamilton earned a controversial victory over Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel in second place in the seventh of 21 races on the 2019 Formula 1 schedule, the Canadian Grand Prix, at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Hamilton’s victory in this 70-lap race around the 14-turn, 2.71-mile (4.361-kilometer) Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course on Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada was his third consecutive victory, his fifth victory of the season and in the last six races and his seventh victory in the last nine races going back to last season. Hamilton has not finished lower than second place in any of these nine races.

The 34-year-old Briton is one of still only two drivers who have won at least one race this season. Teammate Valtteri Bottas is the only other driver who has done so, as he won two of the season’s first four races.

Following Hamilton’s fifth victory of the 2019 season, how do the Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings look? Here are the non-formulated Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings with the season’s first seven races in the books.
