F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Miami Grand Prix

40

Isack Hadjar, Red Bull (DNF) – 3.5/10

A weekend to forget for the rookie. After starting from the pitlane due to technical breach by Red Bull in qualifying, Hadjar’s race ended prematurely on lap 4 when he lost the rear and found the wall. While the Frenchman’s pace is undeniable, tendency for errors are still creeping and proving costly. Isack still needs to calm the nerves.

Pierre Gasly, Alpine (DNF) – 5/10

Gasly was looking punchy early on, but his Miami heat was extinguished by a lap 4 collision with Liam Lawson. It was a "wrong place, wrong time" scenario that ended in a retirement through no real fault of his own. Until then, he’d shown decent midfield pace, but you can’t score points from the paddock while watching the sunset.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
