Formula 1 have released their final power rankings of the 2023 season, with Max Verstappen unsurprisingly coming out on top, but his team-mate Sergio Perez not even making the top 10.

The power ranking standings are updated after every race, with drivers given a score out of 10 for their performance, not taking into account the performance of their car.

Verstappen scored a whopping average of 9.1 as he stormed to 19 race victories and a third consecutive world championship title.

Behind him, Lewis Hamilton came in second with an average rating of 7.8 after some great performances put him in a battle with Perez for second in the championship, despite having a far inferior car.
