You have rated the class of 2023. All of the commentary has been completed. Sorry for the late response to this.

 

During the few weeks or so, I'll be counting down the results on who you have voted as your driver of F1 2023.

 

Enjoy.

 

Here's what happened in 2021:

22ND:

 

NYCK DE VRIES

 

2.375

 

 

Never looked comfortable

didn't get a whole lot of time but then when you consider what lawson did it puts his largely meagre performances into perspective

I can’t rate him lower than Stroll/Sargeant. I accept he was poor but not the worst

Great that we had more than 2 responses this season :lol:

 

Not sure who could win this one :thinking:

No surprise at that first entry.

 

21ST:

 

LOGAN SARGEANT

 

3.5

 

 

very lucky to be given another season, too many crashes and the pace gap to his team mate was way too much

By the end of the year his performances were staring to look respectable. Earned another shot... just.

seems like a nice guy. Hopefully will improve, but quite a poor start

 

11 places

 

20TH:

 

SERGIO PEREZ

 

4.25 (By virtue of having one 4 compared to the other driver)

 

 

a bright start which descended into continual embarrassment for the rest of the season, made the most dominant car of all time look ordinary

Started the season well but once Max got a handle on the car he was made to look poor. Miami broke his spirit and he failed to recover properly.

out of his depth but not the worst

That's pretty funny but totally deserved!

1

 

19TH:

 

LANCE STROLL

 

4.25 (By virtue of having two 4s compared to Sergio Perez

 

 

a fine start and end to the season completely marred by a horrendous run during the middle. aston martin were fighting one handed

Out of 136 races, Stroll has been outqualified 100 times. Not up to the stadard required

does not deserve the seat

 

 

18TH:

 

KEVIN MAGNUSSEN

 

4.375

 

 

 

a very disappointing season considering last season's highs, particularly in quali where he was destroyed by hulk

A year to forget

hardest driver to rate for me. If the car wasn’t shocking he could have achieved good things

 

17TH:

 

ZHOU GUANYU

 

5.25

 

 

didn't really kick on at all this season and needs a strong season next year or his time will be up with pourchaire waiting in the wings

The clock is ticking and he MUST have a good year in 2024 or surely he's out

becoming more visible

 

16TH:

 

VALTTERI BOTTAS

 

5.625

 

 

a very meh season although not helped by the mediocre machinery he was driving. has lost the outright quali pace he once possessed

Most impressive thing he did all year was a calendar. Has good pace in qualifying once in a while but still can't sustain it.

good enough

Pretty agreeable results the last few as well.

14TH=

 

DANIEL RICCIARDO

 

6.25

 

 

 

unfortunate with the injury costing him a number of races but otherwise didn't stack up great against tsunoda, his mexico masterclass aside

Difficult to say. Clearly has still got skill, but didn't ever get much of a clean break to settle in and allow it to show. Make or break next year. He must better Tsunoda

surprised me with his pace

4

 

14TH=

 

GEORGE RUSSELL

 

6.25

 

 

 

- a huge disappointment after his heroics last season. qualifying is excellent but racecraft still needs work

Should have done so much better with that car. Often still has pace but lacks situational awareness and has ego issues.

not sure how he went from beating Hamilton to always feeling a step behind. Would still class him as consistent though

Oh wow surprised George is outside the top 10

5

 

12TH=

 

YUKI TSUNODA

 

6.625

 

 

 

 

- a very up and down season but looked to have the measure of ricciardo by the season's end. still prone to moments of madness

Starting to look solid and fast enough, but that may not be enough

much better this year

4

 

12TH=

 

ESTEBAN OCON

 

6.625

 

 

aside from the brilliant podium at monaco it's not been a particularly standout season although hampered by a number of mechanical issues

An expectedly uneventful season. Still an idiot at times.

solid

 

11TH-

 

LIAM LAWSON

 

6.75

 

 

super impressive stand-in considering the circumstances, thrown in at the deep end and looked comfortable right away

Hard to say with so little running but looks to have earned a shot in the future.

would like to see him in a full season

 

 

10TH-

 

NICO HULKENBERG

 

6.875 (By virtue of having one 7)

 

 

 

firmly outperformed k-mag this season and shows he still deserves a space on the grid

Beating Magnussen across the year is his highlight, but then it is only Magnussen

on pure one lap pace such a standout. Beat K-Mag over the season and deserves a better car

Lawson being highest of the AT drivers :clap:
