With excellent drivers by Mick Schumacher at the Austrian Grand Prix and British Grand Prix has seen him jump up spots.
Zhou Guanyu, despite having a rocky start has seen a massive improvement which has been reflective across his impressive stint as a rookie driver this season.

- Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo ORLEN) 88 OVR to 86 OVR (-2)Yuki Tsunoda (Scuderia AlphaTauri) 78 OVR to 76 OVR (-2)Charles Leclerc (Scuderia Ferrari) 92 OVR to 91 OVR (-1)
Surprisingly, Yuki Tsunoda following poor pace and performances this season saw him get docked down two overall ratings.
Similar comes with Valtteri Bottas which has had a disappointing end before the mid-season break.
Notably, Charles Leclerc has had a unfortunate season at Ferrari and it’s unfortunately affected his rating, docking him one overall rating.
How are ratings determined?
Ratings are determined by EA through a series of tangibles – these include:
- Experience (EXP): The number of race starts a driver has over the course of their careerRacecraft (RAC): The driver’s ability to work their way through the pack and finish in a higher position than where they startedAwareness (AWA): The less time spent in the Steward’s room will help drivers here. Real-world punishments will impact the score in this categoryPace (PAC): Benefits those who get closest to the fastest qualifying and race lap times. A driver beating their teammate is also taken into considerationRating (RTG): The combination of the previous four ratings. This overall rating will go up and down throughout the season based on performance.
