Max Verstappen has once again dropped in the driver ratings of the F1 2021 game after the Turkish Grand Prix. Despite regaining the lead in the championship, he loses a point in the ratings to title rival Lewis Hamilton.

Since the release of the game, both drivers' ratings were at 95, but Hamilton lost a point after causing Verstappen's crash at Silverstone. The Dutchman in turn lost two points after his crash with Hamilton at Monza.

Verstappen loses points in F1 2021 rating

After Turkey, the game gave Verstappen a lower rating again, causing him to lose another point. As a result, his rating currently stands at 92. This is in contrast to Hamilton, who keeps his rating of 94. With this, Hamilton scores the best of the entire grid. Verstappen's biggest issue seems to be his pace, which was lower in Turkey than before. On the other hand, the Red Bull driver has just 71 points in the field of experience, compared to Hamilton's 93.

Verstappen is not the only one to have points taken away. Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly, who both caused a collision in the last race, also drop a few points. Kimi Raikkonen is the only driver who saw his rating go up: he is now 87.
