The F1 22 driver ratings at launch have been revealed, with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton sharing top spot with an overall ranking of 94.
Codemasters have been working on an all-new algorithm to produce the initial driver ratings for F1 2022, which will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox X, S, and One plus PC on July 1.
The likes of David Croft, Alex Jacques and Anthony Davidson have also been consulting with the game developers, adding their expertise to the data.
A driver’s rating has been broken down into four main categories, followed by an overall rating. The main categories are as follows:
Experience (EXP): This is based on the number of race starts a driver has over the course of their career
Racecraft (RAC): The driver’s ability to work their way through the pack and finish in a higher position than where they started
Awareness (AWA): The less time spent in the Steward’s room will help drivers here. Real-world punishments will impact the score in this category
Pace (PAC): Benefits those who get closest to the fastest qualifying and race lap times. A driver beating their teammate is also taken into consideration
Rating (RTG): The combination of the previous four ratings. This overall rating will go up and down throughout the season based on performance
And here are the initial driver ratings, with dynamic ratings to come in the My Team mode in intervals of every few races, based on real-life events.
