F1 power rankings: Can anyone challenge Antonelli with 10 races to go?

The Formula One season continues with the Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit, set to challenge the drivers with 22 unfamiliar corners. Our power rankings assess which teams and drivers will arrive in Spain in the best condition, taking into account recent form, raw speed, car performance, momentum and suitability of strengths for the Madrid circuit. The top 10 rankings and a prediction for the Spanish Grand Prix follow.

Nico Hulkenberg of Audi continues to extract pace from his car, climbing to eighth at Zandvoort and finishing P12 at Monza. His experience helps him read races and capitalize on opportunities. Arvid Lindblad of Racing Bulls, despite a penalty at Zandvoort, scored points in seven of the last eight races and may struggle at the chaotic circuit in Spain. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, once dubbed an "AI Agent," finished second in Zandvoort but crashed out at Monza after being too aggressive. He could use a regroup at Madrid.

Oscar Piastri of McLaren showed strong starts at both races but faded in pace after his first stint at Monza, despite qualifying third. Pierre Gasly of Alpine, after a pole position in Monza, demonstrated positive steps with a pole position and a podium finish in the previous race. Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari, frustrated with his team, finished P4 at Zandvoort and P6 at Monza.

George Russell of Mercedes, despite starting P2 at Monza, suffered from his inability to adapt to maximum speed. Max Verstappen of Red Bull suffered a DNF at Zandvoort but improved to P3 at Monza, proving his experience will be crucial in Madrid. Finally, McLaren's Lando Norris dominated the season, starting P1 at Zandvoort and finishing P4 at Monza.
