F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix

Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac (DNF) – 5/10

Another painfully short afternoon for the Finn, courtesy of early brake failures that cooked his chances under the Austrian sun. While the team brought shiny new upgrades to the Spielberg circuit, Bottas barely had time to sample them before being forced to park it. He handled the heartbreak with his trademark stoic pragmatism, but frustration must be brewing behind that calm exterior.

 

Sergio Perez, Cadillac (DNF) – 4/10

Calling your car's reliability "totally unacceptable" is one way to make headlines, even if your race didn't. Checo’s deployment in the newly minted Cadillac squad was cut disastrously short due to severe braking issues. He essentially served as a spectator for the entire Grand Prix, leaving the American team with an immense mountain of data-gathering and soul-searching to do.
