F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix

Oscar Piastri, McLaren (DNF) – 8/10

Oscar Piastri executed a brilliant start, seizing the lead and commanding the early stages with calm authority despite running a slightly slower setup than his teammate. Victory seemed on the cards until an absurd collision with a lapped Carlos Sainz severely damaged his race and allowed Lando Norris through. Subsequent gearbox failure ended his day prematurely, turning what should have been a dominant triumph into bitter disappointment through zero fault of his own.

 

Oliver Bearman, Haas (P19) – 4/10

Oliver Bearman endured a deeply disappointing Sunday in Budapest, struggling for rhythm from lights out to the chequered flag. A spin at Turn 2 underlined his fight against an uncooperative car balance, while a blue flag penalty added insult to injury. The young Briton never looked capable of making progress through the lower order, making this weekend a clear step backward after recent promising outings.
