F1 2021 Game: More driver ratings revealed, including Hamilton and Verstappen

Earlier we previously reported on new driver ratings for EA's F1 2021 game, and now all the ratings have been released. So those of Red Bull Racing and Mercedes, and in particular Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have been announced. The question everyone has been asking for ages: which of the two has the higher rating in the game?

Hamilton vs Verstappen

While Verstappen continues to increase his championship lead over Lewis Hamilton, it's undeniably true that there's little to no difference in quality between the two drivers. Because it's always difficult to compare drivers who drive different cars, the ratings in the annual F1 game give both drivers and fans bragging rights.

Still they didn't dare to choose a clear winner: both drivers come away with a score of 95. The Dutchman obviously loses on experience (69 against 92), but scores higher on awareness (96 against 89) and racecraft (96 against 94). Hamilton is one point ahead of Verstappen on pace (98 versus 97). So the battle also remains undecided digitally.

Other scores

The high score for Valtteri Bottas (92) also stands out. Considering Russell's rating (84), EA have shown who they think will be sitting in the Mercedes seat next year. You can see all the scorecards of all the drivers below.
