The Power Rankings for the Canadian Grand Prix have been released. The five-panel jury decided on their scores, awarding the race winner, George Russell, first place. See how the other Formula 1 drivers fared below. The two Mercedes drivers received the highest scores. Russell received a perfect score of 10, with his rookie teammate,
Kimi Antonelli, landing in second place with an 8.8.m
As those two landed on the podium, it is not surprising that they are ranked so high. What might come as a surprise is the fact that Fernando Alonso is also ranked second with an 8.8. The Spainaird has been on a hot streak with two back-to-back points in the last two races.

Max Verstappen is ranked 5th, slightly lower than usual, with an 8.4. The jury said,
"Despite missing out on pole position to Russell, Max Verstappen kept the pressure on the Briton during the early laps of Sunday’s race. The Dutchman went on to pit early as part of Red Bull's two-stop strategy and, while he ultimately could not catch the Mercedes, Verstappen maximised everything to take P2." Oscar Piastri is down in seventh with a 7.6. He has still managed to retain his lead in both the power standings and the World Drivers' Championship despite not winning either this weekend. Piastri came fourth after losing his third place to Antonelli on the first lap.
His teammate,
Lando Norris, was no where to be found on the top 10 for the Canadian Grand Prix and even moreso, his DNF caused him to drop two positions over all.
Charles Leclerc was ranked 9th with a 6.8.
"Charles Leclerc did not have the smoothest few days in Canada, the Monegasque missing most of Friday’s running following an FP1 crash before being left frustrated by a mistake in Qualifying. Despite this, the Ferrari man had a better outing on Sunday and finished in fifth, a result he felt had been the best that was possible." See the overall top 10 below.
