Formula 1 ratings
The full 2026 grid, twenty-two drivers and eleven constructors, plus the legends and the great teams. It is the smallest topic in the game and the one where the ratings argue with themselves the least, because the championship table does the arguing for you.
How these ratings are built
Current drivers and constructors are rated on 2026 championship points, put through a square-root curve so the midfield spreads out instead of all bunching at the bottom while two cars disappear over the horizon. That is the only place in the game where the rating comes from a live standings table. The all-time pools are editorial, and comparing a 1970s world champion to a modern one is exactly the fight the mode exists to start.
Every rating in this category runs on the same 40 to 99 scale the rest of the game uses. There are 91 entries here across 2 pools. In the game itself these numbers stay hidden until the verdict screen, which is the whole point of the auction; this page is the reference copy, for settling arguments after the fact.

All-time ratings are editorial calls rather than anything a box score produced, for the obvious reason that the statistics were not kept the same way, or at all.
