Verstappen snatches top spot from Alonso after DOMINANT win

In contrast, Max Verstappen dominated from lights to flag, stamping his authority on the race while team-mate and championship rival Sergio Perez was forced to settle for a P4 finish.
Such a dominant display saw Verstappen awarded a score of 9.6 for his weekend, beating out long-term rival Lewis Hamilton, who finished second and scored a 9.2
Verstappen to the top
While Verstappen was given a mighty score of 9.6 for his Spanish Grand Prix, Alonso was absent from the top ten altogether.
The Spaniard has been a regular at the top of F1's power rankings in 2023, but neither Alonso nor Aston Martin team-mate Lance Stroll made it into the top ten for the Spanish Grand Prix.
The result of these ratings is that Verstappen has now surpassed Alonso in F1's season-long rankings, taking the top spot with an immense average of 9.0.
Alonso has dropped to P2 following an underwhelming weekend on home soil, while Lewis Hamiton made up some ground on the top two in third place.
