F1, 2026 United States GP: Straw’s driver rankings

The 2026 United States Grand Prix is at the centre of Edd Straw’s analysis for The Race. The British journalist assessed each driver’s overall performance, taking into account pace, race management, qualifying and the ability to extract the car’s potential.

The ranking does not necessarily match the finishing order or the championship standings. Its aim is to measure individual performance across the race weekend, offering a way to separate the final result from the actual level shown on track in Austin.
