After the second Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit the battle between Mercedes and Max Verstappen in the championship has become a little bit exciting again. Whether it will be really exciting remains to be seen, given the dominance of Mercedes, but in the Power Rankings of Formula 1 this is already certainly the case.

Verstappen gets a perfect score from the official F1 website for his performance last weekend and takes over the lead from Lewis Hamilton in the general classification. After five races the Dutchman now has 45.6 points and Hamilton 45.0 points.

Charles Leclerc is doing well too

Valtteri Bottas scores only a 7.6 for last Sunday's race and still shares third place with Lando Norris with 40.8 points. They are now being chased by Charles Leclerc, he is together with Verstappen the big winner of the weekend and got a perfect score just like the Red Bull driver.

Other notable names in last weekend's top ten are Nico Hulkenberg, who came third with an 8.6 and even finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Alexander Albon who gets a nice 8.0 for his overtaking race.
