Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings Analysis
This edition of the formulated Formula 1 Driver Power Rankings did not feature much movement, as the top eight drivers and the bottom five drivers held station. In total, the positions of only six of the 20 drivers changed.
Only two drivers moved more than one position, and one of those drivers, the driver who moved up two positions, was hometown hero Sergio Perez of SportPesa Racing Point. The 29-year-old Mexican finished in seventh place as the “best of the rest” behind the six Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull Racing drivers, tying his best finish in five attempts in his home race.
Another driver moved down two positions despite the fact that he scored points for the first time in almost two months while two other drivers moved up one position and two more moved down one position.
