F1 Manager 2023 is just over a week away from release. To get players hyped, Frontier has been drip-feeding the driver ratings. So far, we’ve had the ratings for Haas, Ferrari, and Alpine. Now, Frontier has revealed the F1 Manager 2023 Red Bull Driver Ratings.
How do two-time champion Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez compare? Let’s find out.
F1 Manager 2023 Red Bull driver ratings
To the surprise of no one, Max Verstappen comes out on top in the F1 Manager 2023 Red Bull driver ratings.
The Dutch driver is dominating the 2023 season, with an incredible eight race wins so far. This puts him at the top of the Driver Standings with a lead of nearly 100 points.
His unstoppable performance gives him an overall driver rating of 91 in F1 Manager 2023. Compared to F1 Manager 2022, his overall rating has improved by one point. Considering his dominance, this seems a bit on the low side - we would have guessed his rating would be 95+.
Breaking down his driver rating, Verstappen scores 95 for cornering and braking and 88 for reactions, smoothness, and adaptability. He also has a 91, 85, and 89 rating for overtaking, accuracy, and control respectively.
Last but not least, his lightning-quick defending skills are rated 97. No one can seemingly stop the Dutch driver from becoming 2023’s World Champion.
Perez’s stellar performance on the track has also seen his overall rating increase from 87 to 88, with an 88 score for cornering and braking.
He is also rated a highly respectable 93 for reactions, overtaking, and defending, 92 for control, and 84 for smoothness. What lets him down is his adaptability, rated at 76.
