Oscar Piastri

Driving for McLaren, Oscar Piastri made his Formula 1 debut this season. His F1 career is off to a great start, with multiple points finishes including a P4 finish at the British Grand Prix.

As a result, his Experience stat has improved by seven, Racecraft and Awareness by two, and Pace by one, with his Overall Rating increasing by two to 76.

Logan Sargeant

Williams driver Logan Sargeant’s has also risen by seven, Awareness by one, and Pace by three. However, his Racecraft drop of seven means his Overall Rating stays the same.

Elsewhere, Fernando Alons's resurgence has resulted in his racecraft rising by two. Surprisingly, Lewis Hamilton's Awareness stat has also dropped by a whopping six points, despite his Racecraft and Pace improving by one point.
