Congrats!
Note that Drivers on equal points are ordered by their best results in the table, so Sato is actually ahead of Wurz, for
example. Albers and Yamamoto however are equal, I'm afraid.

The ratings were pretty meh for the first part of the season, but they picked up quite a bit at the end, with two super
scoring final rounds.
It's time for me to come up with some update on how the ratings have been since they were introduced in 2002. I'll come up
with a rather big post at some point in the off-season, but it may take a while...
