Analysis/Driver Power Ranking

Analysis

Driver Power Ranking

Who's really the best driver? A composite score based on finishing position, car-beating ability, teammate dominance, points share, and consistency. Click “Customize” to adjust the weights.

Base ValueCar BeatingTeammatePoints ShareConsistency

Teammate scores start in 1981. In 1978, one constructor’s cars were often entered by unrelated privateers, so this ranking leaves the Teammate component out. Car Beating compares a driver with every other car of the same constructor entry in the race, privateer entries included.
