🏆 Driver Power Rankings
Our own order, not the championship table: it weighs points scored relative to the pace of the car a driver has under them, plus how much they’re beating their own teammate by in qualifying - the one comparison where the car is identical. Someone dragging points out of a midfield car can outrank one cruising in the quickest. Pts/race and car pace are shown alongside rather than folded into a single figure - the columns are the reasoning, not a black box.

About these numbers
Championship position and points come from official Formula 1 standings, refreshed after every session.
Career columns are lifetime totals. They currently run to the end of the 2025 season only - marked “to 2025” above - because this season’s results aren’t complete enough to add without undercounting. They switch to live totals once they are.
