Formula 1 is introducing a brand-new driver rankings format starting from the United States Grand Prix weekend in 2026. Instead of the traditional 1-22 ranking system, motorsport analyst Edd Straw has implemented a tier-based list ranging from Tier S down to Tier F to better evaluate on-track performance.
Every tier except one is strictly limited to five drivers, with Tier S reserved for just a single standout name. Making this choice at the top was relatively straightforward after witnessing a commanding display of driving mastery throughout the high-stakes race weekend.
Although team principal Toto Wolff suggested this was Kimi Antonelli's finest race yet, the young charger unquestionably justified his place at the absolute summit. He demonstrated a clear pace advantage over his teammate, nailed his flying lap in Q3 to secure pole position, and executed a brilliant start despite initial tyre disadvantages.
Further down the order, several midfield contenders fought hard to extract maximum performance from difficult machinery under intense pressure from rival constructors. According to The-Race, this structural shift aims to offer fans a much more nuanced breakdown of driver execution across every single grand prix.
Explore the full reasoning behind the format change and check where your favorite drivers landed in the latest 2026 United States Grand Prix tier list evaluation.
