F1 Power Rankings | After World Cup title, Verstappen now shares lead position
- Corwin Kunst
After his amazing race at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen closed in on Lando Norris. They were both within a 10th of each other in the power rankings. Now, after the Las Vegas Grand Prix, they are on the same level with a ranking of 8.2
For his Las Vegas Grand Prix power rankings, Max Verstappen was awarded an 8.2. Coincidentally, that figure is also now his current season average. 'Verstappen went into the night event knowing that he would clinch his fourth world title if he simply stayed ahead of rival Norris. The Red Bull driver performed cool, calm and composed: he let the faster Mercedes and Ferrari go and got the job done.'
After a not-so-great race for Lando Norris, he scored a 6.8. This put him tied with Verstappen. With only two GPs left, only time will tell who takes first place.
According to the judges, race winner George Russell was the best driver of the weekend. The Mercedes driver received a 9.8 and stayed ahead of Lewis Hamilton (8.4). Yuki Tsunoda and Nico Hulkenberg scored handsome points and, like Verstappen, received an 8.2. Carlos Sainz received an 8.0 after his podium finish.
