F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix

Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (P10) – 7.5/10

Lindblad continues to display maturity far beyond his years, securing another highly valuable point for Faenza. He wasn't thrilled with late pitwall instructions to hold station behind his teammate, but that stubborn streak is exactly what defines future champions. Though he candidly admitted his tyre management needs refinement, his combative style ensured Racing Bulls maintained their tight grip on the midfield.

 

Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls (P9) – 8/10

Leading his rookie teammate home felt like an absolute grand slam victory for the squad. Lawson’s afternoon was far from a comfortable cruise; he survived terrifying cockpit heat reports early on and intense brake management later in the race. Ninth position represented the absolute ceiling for his machinery today, making this a flawless exercise in maximizing available opportunities.
