Who are the successes and failures of 2023? Well, to separate the star performers from the ‘must do betters’, The Race has graded all 10 Formula 1 teams based on their performance in the first half of the season. Our grading system is simple and inspired by school report cards. Each team will be awarded a letter grade from A to E, which reflects their overall level. Within that, there are three sub-divisions – for example C plus, C or C minus, with the plus and minus (or absence thereof) reflecting the team’s overall execution in terms of making the most of the machinery and producing even development across the half-season so far. And remember, we are grading teams for performance measured by expectations. That means a team expected to be at the back that’s overachieving will get a better grade than a potential title-challenger that’s not producing the goods. 00:00 Report card time 00:48 Alfa Romeo 01:34 Alpine 02:33 AlphaTauri 03:20 Haas 04:06 Ferrari 05:04 Mercedes 06:00 McLaren 0
