Charles Leclerc ties Austria Superstar Gabriel Bortoleto for third place with 25 points, ahead of former teammates Russell and Hamilton in fourth with 22. To continue the ties, it's Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg who round out the top five with 20 points. Carlos Sainz's disappointing run sees him at the bottom of the table this week with -20 points, behind teammate Alex Albon who brings home -19. Kimi Antonelli's DNF sees him and Verstappen towards the back with -18 and -15 points. Pierre Gasly rounds out the bottom five with 2 points.

Lando's value takes a dip this week, he'll still set you back a huge 31.0, but it is the start of a trend. Verstappen also takes a little drop to 29.2. Piastri, however, is on the rise, now costing 25.2, with the Ferrari boys behind at 24.3 and 23.6 for Leclerc and Hamilton. Bortoleto was your cheapest option of the weekend at 4.5, behind Colapinto, Lawson, Doohan, and Alonso, with values of 4.7, 4.8, 5.0, and 5.1.

All values are in Million Dollars.
With Verstappen's DNF, there are now only two drivers who have scored positively in every weekend. Those drivers are Oscar Piastri and George Russell. However, Yuki Tsunoda saves the day and keeps Red Bull up there with Mercedes and McLaren with a 100% record so far this season.
Colapinto might not be scoring positively all the time, but he is consistent, having a standard deviation of 2.35. Bearman and Hadjar are also up there with consistency. Your least consistent drivers are Antonelli, Verstappen and Norris, who have a huge variation in their average scores. Aston Martin are your most consistent team of the season so far, with Ferrari your least consistent team, with massive variation in their average score.

Liam Lawson put in a good performance this week at 2.71 ppm ahead of Esteban Ocon at 2.6 ppm. Fernando Alonso is in fifth with another good week at 2.35 ppm.
