okish bit too eager still has much to prove
a decent showing in the races he was given but perhaps underperformed to the expectations, hasn't shown to be outright faster than Yuki and had several avoidable mistakes

was expecting more after last season

just there but not red Bull material
solid and mostly reliable without being spectacular, had the measure of both team mates and showed impressive glimpses of pace, however the mad moments still appear from time to time

as mid as mid gets

LEWIS HAMILTON

ok-ish but disappointing overall
2 mega victories saved the season and still has very strong racecraft but really underperformed in qualifying this season, last season at merc so lower motivation perhaps playing a part

still a top driver in races but continually let down by is qualifying, will need to up his game vs Leclerc

okish
impressive stand in performances at both Ferrari and Haas under tough circumstances, looked comfortable and earned his spot on next season's grid

has looked impressive on his outings, looking forward to seeing more of him

same, sometimes shows potential, sometimes it's a mess
bounced back impressively after a poor 2023, dominated the quali H2H against Lewis and very much showed world champion potential if given a more consistent car

a solid season,

sometimes great, sometimes not there at all
some very big highlights and definitely unlucky to lose his seat however there were still weekends where he was lagging far behind Charles, suggesting a lack of consistency

an improvement this season, worryingly tailed off in the last few races. the potential is there to be McLaren's challenger.

great year, undeservedly replaced by Hamilton next year
some very big highlights and definitely unlucky to lose his seat however there were still weekends where he was lagging far behind Charles, suggesting a lack of consistency

this season pretty much summed up Sainz, consistently good and capable of delivering over and above in the odd race

FERNANDO ALONSO

great considering the bad car in the last part of the year
tricky to rank due to having one of the worst drivers as a team mate so hard to tell exactly how bad the AM was - did all the heavy lifting but has definitely lost a few tenths of pace compared with last season

possibly the hardest driver on the grid to accurately judge given his teammate and the dog of a car

PIERRE GASLY

great, one of the best this year
a largely underwhelming season in a poor car overshadowed by a superb end to the season, pulling out a string of results to drag the team to 6th in the constructors

wasn't ever underperforming his car and then had the best last few races of anyone
As much as I love Gasly I do think his second half was stronger than his first. Was excruciating to see him nab the top 10 standings finish over Hulkenberg, when Nico was arguably stronger throughout the season

ok but not great, lacks so much
a big step forward into the deep end with the best car for most of the season, pulling off some superb drives however he didn't make the most of it at times and should have put up a better fight for the title

a really difficult one to grade, in some ways he's had as impressive season as anyone on the grid, but often let down by his own starts and he should really have delivered a closer title fight in the second half of the season
Sanz and Alonso should be top 5 if not higher. Gasly sure doesn't deserve top 5.

Actually looking at the rates it kind of makes sense - he got a lot of similar scores to the likes of Russell/Hamilton/Leclerc/Sainz etc, noticeably ahead of a lot of drivers

 

He’s kind of finished that high be default (ie he didn’t have a mediocre season)

I mean, I think we were biased by the last races of the season, for the first 3/4 of the season he was mediocre at best

NICO HULKENBERG

great
arguably the driver of the season in the first half of the year with some incredulous qualifying performances and solid points scoring, things went a bit south towards the end of the season but a thoroughly impressive campaign in general

brilliantly consistent, a shame Haas couldn't quite get 6th in the constructors. Proved his status as a brilliant midfield driver

CHARLES LECLERC

cannot deny he's quick
extremely strong showing this year, maximising results most weekends and pulling off impressive wins, eliminated the silly mistakes plaguing him in past seasons

regularly got the better of his team mate and delivered the maximum from the car
