⚔️ Today we take a look at the Haas battle.

Race H2H: 🇬🇧 O. Bearman 7 – 2 E. Ocon 🇫🇷

After starting with similar Elo ratings, Bearman has opened a clear gap, while Ocon is one of the season's biggest rating losers. Haas' lack of pace has hurt both drivers ⬇️

@F1 @redbullracing Verstappen is very close to his peak Elo rating, which, by the way, is the highest peak ever in our rankings.

Can he keep his streak alive and set a new all-time Elo record?

@Planet_F1 Hamilton has been superb since the start of the season, and that is reflected in his Elo rating.

It's true, though, that the last three rounds (fairly or unfairly) have cost him a bit of ground ⬇️

Hamilton has reinvented himself under the new regulations. His performances have lifted him to P2 in the Drivers' Championship, ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc, who remains the second-highest rated driver in our Driver Elo Rankings.

@F1BigData This is the key to our Driver Elo Rating, and why Max is so far ahead of everyone ⬇️

@wearetherace @f1visualized The Hungarian GP scored 4.36 in our Race Entertainment Index. Well above the season average of 4.10, and a strong result for this circuit.

@F1 Against all odds, Antonelli leaves the weekend with an even bigger championship lead.

He also remains the driver with the highest Elo gain this season.

Here's how the rest of the grid stacks up in our rankings ⬇️

@SkySportsF1 That penalty proved costly for Hamilton. It made him lose the head-to-head against his teammate, resulting in a negative Elo delta ⬇️

🇭🇺 Norris turns pole into victory, finishing ahead of Verstappen and Antonelli.

Big positive for Aston Martin too, the massive upgrade package showed promise. Real step forward and plenty to be optimistic about.
