Lando Norris has taken the top spot in the F1 Power Rankings, pushing Max Verstappen out of the top ten after the Hungarian Grand Prix.
McLaren had a fantastic 1-2 finish with Oscar Piastri winning his first Grand Prix. At the start, Piastri took the lead from polesitter and teammate Lando Norris but lost it due to an undercut by Norris. However, team orders from McLaren allowed Piastri to regain first place. This decision sparked some debate, but both drivers showed great skill. Piastri earned a rating of 9.2.
Mixed Feelings for Norris
Norris had a strong weekend with pole position on Saturday and impressive speed during the race. Despite this, his team’s strategy cost him a second career win and a chance to close in on Verstappen in the standings. Fans might feel that Norris deserved better luck this time around. He was rated 8.6 for his performance.
Verstappen missed out on the top ten for the first time this season, putting him level with Norris in terms of rankings. But he’ll have another shot at redemption soon with the Belgian Grand Prix coming up next weekend.
