#1 Valtteri Bottas
Well it was going to be obvious who would be top of the Power Rankings after the first race of the season especially when it's the man that crossed the finish line in 1st place.
Trending
Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas made a statement from his performance in Sunday's race that he is back and ready to compete for the grand prize that is the Formula 1 world championship.
Keke Rosberg, Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen have done it for Finaldn by claiming the grand prize, now Bottas wants to follow in their footsteps.
Not only did he win the race but he won the race by more than 20 seconds away from second place Lewis Hamilton.
Not many drivers can say they have beaten a five time world champion like Hamilton pretty comfortably.
The Finn overtook Hamilton at lights out before the first turn and also later on in the race achieved the fastest lap which added a point to his 25 points.
A different Bottas on the race track, can he keep it up?
