F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix

Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac (DNF) – 4/10

Another painfully short afternoon for the Finn, courtesy of early brake failures that cooked his chances under the Austrian sun.

He handled the heartbreak with his trademark stoic pragmatism, but frustration must be brewing behind that calm exterior.
