It looked like another battle was shaping up Sunday in Barcelona with Charles Leclerc on Pole and leading early with Max Verstappen P2 and chasing hard. Then on Lap 27 everything changed as Leclerc's Ferrari lost power and he was forced to retire with a DNF in 20th place. Verstappen went on to win with teammate Sergio Perez finishing P2 and earning the Fastest Lap point. The win vaults Verstappen to the F1 Drivers Points lead and to the top of our F1 GFT AI Driver Rankings for Round 6. How do the Go Full Throttle AI models work? Algorithms The Go Full Throttle AI Driver Rankings is a cloud based predictive analytics system that uses our proprietary algorithms utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to dynamically tune and improve accuracy over time.

Another crazy week in Go Full Throttle AI Rankings -- the cloud based predictive analytics system that uses our proprietary algorithms, utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, to deliver Driver Rankings and Race Predictions. Huge moves in the Cup Series data following battle at Richmond Raceway where Denny Hamlin and Toyota finally get to Victory Lane. Mr. Consistency and multi time Busch Light Pole Award winner Ryan Blaney started P1 and delivered another top 10 finish in 7th place. Of course, Hamlin's win rocketed him up 10 places from P22 all the up to P12. Kevin Harvick and his 4 SHR Ford finished 2nd at Richmond and that moves Harvick up 5 spots in the rankings to P11. Byron led a ton of laps and looked to be headed to Victory Lane before a great tire strategy call by Hamlin and Harvick's teams gave them the advantage late, passing Byron at 5 to go.

The Go Full Throttle AI Driver Rankings are out and as it should be, a win can change everything. Austin Cindric, driver of the 2 Discount Tire Ford Mustang of Team Penske comes in at P1 with his win at the Daytona 500. The GFT AI Driver Rankings use our proprietary algorithms utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to dynamically tune and improve accuracy over time. Based on our Pre-Season rankings and the results of The Clash at the Coliseum and The Duels at Daytona, our algorithms went to work crunching data that also includes inputs such as top speed, qualifying position, stage wins, laps led, and in Super Speedway races -- the number of cars each manufacture has entered (likely drafting partners, especially for green flag pit stops). The Big Movers After all the inputs were in the cloud following final practice, the GFT AI models ranked Cindric a distant 32nd.
