F1 23 - Your Ultimate Guide to Driver Ratings and Game Highlights

Welcome to the world of Formula 1® on your screen

In a season that could be dominated by one team and driver, it's easy to forget how competitive the rest of the field has been, with some incredibly close battles among the other nine teams.

The resurgence of Fernando Alonso, the consistency of Lewis Hamilton, and the surprising upgrade package from McLaren have made for some unpredictable races. And there you are, in the midst of it all, with the controller in your hand and F1 23 on your screen.

The Driver Ratings in F1® 23

Now that we have a few races behind us, the first update of the driver ratings for F1® 23 since the game's launch is here. It includes results from the Miami Grand Prix to the British Grand Prix. Anthony Davidson and Alex Jacques have gone beyond the raw data to separate the driver from the machine and feed it into the algorithm used to calculate the ratings. To see the fully updated list and directly compare the drivers' statistics, check out the Driver Ratings Hub.

How were the ratings compiled?

• Racecraft (RAC): This describes a driver's ability to work their way through the field and finish races higher than they started.
• Experience (EXP): This statistic has been changed this year to determine how much value each race result contributes to the driver's experience in the early and middle stages of their career. Fernando Alonso's record for race starts is used as the maximum score for the experience rating, which is 99 points.
• Pace (PAC): Pace rewards drivers who achieve the fastest race and qualifying lap times and come closest to their teammates' times.
• Awareness (AWA): Awareness rewards drivers who avoid the stewards' office. And for those who don't, the severity of their mistakes now counts more towards their awareness rating.
• Overall Rating (RTG): A combination of all driver statistics that represents the abilities of each driver in F1® 23, with a higher weighting towards pace.
