Oscar Piastri narrowly leads Max Verstappen in the first quarterly review of RacingNews365's driver ratings.
After every grand prix weekend, each driver is ranked on their performance throughout, and with there being 24 races this season, after the sixth, 12th, 18th and 24th races, we will take a look at how the ratings are progressing and who are the big risers and fallers.
Miami was round six of the season, and so, it is time for the first review of the ratings, which has Piastri on top by 0.1 marks from world champion Verstappen.
Piastri has won four of the six races, including the last three, to climb to the top of the ratings, with a score of 8.6 to Verstappen's 8.5. His victory in Miami was enough to move the Australian past the Dutchman and into top spot.
The rest of the top five is made up of George Russell, Alex Albon, and Kimi Antonelli, with Lewis Hamilton 10th overall on 6.3.
At the bottom, axed Alpine driver Jack Doohan sits on 4.7 at the foot of the table, with Liam Lawson the lowest-ranked active driver after Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto on 4.9 following his poor start ot the season for Red Bull and Racing Bulls.
