Rival has perfect score, but Verstappen still tops this leaderboard

Two drivers have scored perfect 10s in the Formula 1 Power Rankings for the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Lando Norris won his sixth Grand Prix of the season in Mexico, getting back to winning ways for the first time since the Hungarian Grand Prix.

As a result, the British driver now also leads the Drivers’ Championship by a single point over his teammate Oscar Piastri, while Max Verstappen trails Norris by 36 points.

The F1 Power Rankings panel also handed the McLaren driver a perfect ten for the weekend in Mexico, where he won starting from pole position.

They wrote: "Norris was in stunning form at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. After an impressive lap in Qualifying saw him secure pole position, the Briton held off his rivals at the start of Sunday’s race and from then was unchallenged at the front, crossing the line with a staggering margin of 30 seconds to claim victory and retake the lead in the Drivers' Championship."

Rookie Oliver Bearman also received a perfect 10 after achieving his best career result by finishing fourth last Sunday.

Charles Leclerc rounded off the top three. After finishing second, the Ferrari driver received an 8.6 rating.

The panel also noted Verstappen ‘keeping himself in contention for the title’ and handed the Dutchman an 8.0 for his performance. Oscar Piastri did not make the top 10 on this occasion.

Verstappen remains in first place overall

Thanks to this result, Norris has now overtaken Piastri after improving his season average to an 8.2.

Verstappen remains in the lead with an 8.4, while Lewis Hamilton is now inside the top 10 as well. See the rankings below!
