I disagree this was a strong drive from Norris, he had a bad start then missed the first 2 corners a bit later in the race after making a mistake. Ricciardo looked the better of the two this time out, and to help […]

As soon as i read the word fake gravel, I knew it would be real gravel treated with resin. How does that then make the gravel itself fake exactly?

Perez was poor. He qualified 8 tenths behind verstappen, and was also behind a ferrari, which was clearly slower this weekend. He had a poor launch and almost instantly lost 2 places, only to then gain […]

Latifi is on another level to mazepin. So many forget that last year and the year before in fact, he was several times pretty close to russell on race day, not being far off time wise by the end of the race. […]

I don’t think Vettell should be this much higher than Stroll when he couldn’t even make it out of Q1. Plus, his move on Stroll would have been worthy of a penalty if it wasn’t on the first lap, and it could have […]

@situs
Ocon was effected by issues in practice and was also looking quicker than Alonso throughout all of qualifying. He then started way down the order, and also looked a lot quicker than alonso in the race. He […]

if there did that, they would lose their cash that will help them with the car for next year. pay drivers for struggling teams are very benificial in some ways more than others.

Not every driver went that wide as tyre marbles are not on the racing line. He went wide as he was battling with Ocon, but it was his fault. But if you look at the footage, not all the drivers went on the bit of […]

I think 10th will have been the case if Norris wasn’t getting a penalty as i believe he will have tried harder if he wasn’t getting one. Then there is also Bottas who didn’t even attempt to get out of Q1. I would […]

@f1frog
As is often the case, i do agree with your rankings more.

However, one point about Bottas’s slump, I wouldn’t say he was “outdriven by Zhou” in canada if it is the race you are counting.

Bottas did […]

“What an awful ranking. Vettel is equal on points with Gasly in the 9th fastest car. And Gasly is 11th, Vettel 14th?”

Why do you ask questions when you have already seen where they are as you wrote this […]

These rankings are usually rated on the performance of the drivers this season, and not taking into account their age, experience or anything from other seasons.

That was only part of my reasoning. Bad luck for him and the opposite for russell was the main reason.

I have mostly been agreeing with the order so far, but russell has not been better than hamilton.

Russell has had good fortune on numerous occasions with hardly any bad luck at all, while Hamilton has had […]

I’m stating facts. If it wasn’t for hungary and team orders, stroll would have finished in the points more often than vettel. That doesn’t make him better though, but to me he has been a little more consistent. […]

I’m not forgetting them. I’m pointing out that he lost himself yet more by giving himself a penalty. And if he had let Ocon trough, it is unlikely that the team will have lost as many points as they did.

Perez hasn’t been that good this year. Better than last year but not by that much. There have been 3 weekends where he hasn’t progressed through to Q3 in a car that has been either best or at worst 2nd best. He’s […]

I certainly can’t see how russell can be rated higher than Hamilton at this stage. Hamilton has had much worse luck, and russell has barely had any bad luck, and plenty of the opposite. While all this is going on, […]

although in the end, alonso in canada did a worse job on race day than Ocon, and by the way he was acting, cost both himself and his team mate some points.

The car this year hasn’t always been clearly last though. Sometimes aston martin on race day have had something seriously wrong with their car to the point where i would say they have been the worst, and sometimes […]
