Formula 1’s Driver Power Rankings After 2015 Spanish Grand Prix

The 2015 Spanish Grand Prix wasn't Formula One's finest hour. While not the worst race the Circuit de Catalunya has ever produced, it was far from the best.

Such races make it difficult for a driver to shine, but Nico Rosberg was among the few to manage it. The German had a near-perfect weekend, following up his pole position with the race win to cut team-mate Lewis Hamilton's championship lead to 20 points.

Valtteri Bottas also stood out, holding off a Ferrari for the second time in two races to finish an excellent fourth.

The drivers will now be preparing for the next race—Monaco, on 24 May. Here's how they currently rank.

 

Note on Power Rankings

These rankings should not be confused with the championship table.

Rather than looking solely at how many points each driver has, they take into account race results, qualifying, the overall performance of each driver and how they stack up against their team-mates. The relative pace of each driver's car is factored in, as is the identity of his team-mate.

For each race, every driver who took part is awarded a score out of 10. The sum of these scores across the previous six races—or fewer, at this stage of the season—is given on each driver's slide and determines the driver's ranking. Early in the year, a couple of points can make a big difference, so expect fluidity in the standings.

All position changes are relative to where the driver was in the previous set of rankings, published after the Bahrain Grand Prix and available here.
