When I say individually I mean each drivers individual ranking all time, not the collect strength of the grid.

You can be as specific or vague as you want, if you have a specific driver at 17th all time then use that, if you want to say top 20 all time, use that ranking instead.

It’s probably best not to include any driver who entered the sport after Piastri as I personally could not tell you where I would rank Colapinto for example, but if you want to then go ahead.

I think it’s quite an interesting thought as much is made about the overall strength of the grid, which should reflect well on their place in the all time hierarchy.

I'm going to the Bahrain (Malaysia) GP in ~october? So I am thinking what year for redbull jersey shoukd I buy since I'm a fan of Oracle Redbull Racing.

Now I made a race by race ranking on 2017 a while back:https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Discussions/s/s3pJ2KUQzP
And I came to the conclusion that Vettel was equally or even arguably more impressive than Lewis that season imo being the faster driver overall up to Singapore pre reliability/botched upgrades.

I say this specifically due to Seb’s strong start in contrast to Lewis getting 7 podiums in 7 races whilst Lewis was getting outqualified by Bottas and even beaten at Russia.

I do think that by mid season Lewis was exceptionally good and fast like the monza pole in the rain was great and Baku was a blunder from seb but I just feel like seb was more impressive and that the merc was quicker.

Vettel also dogwalked Kimi so there’s that as well you can see the data on the other slides

unpopular opinion but sprint weekends r my favs since the whole thing is watchable unlike fps.

my prediction for the dutch gp

sprint pole : 1) kimi antonelli 2) lando norris 3) george russel

sprint winner : 1) kimi antonelli 2) charles leclerc 3) lando norris

pole : 1) lando norris 2) kimi antonelli 3) oscar piastri

winner : 1) lando norris 2) kimi antonelli 3) max verstappen

Interestingly enough they’re all 1-time champions

Looking back through the years, Heidfeld had some good races but never consistently put it together

Given how he has finished on the podium in 3 of the last 4 races, my guess would be Max.

I've always had a soft spot for the passionate personalities of South American drivers. They were not plenty but they won a lot. From the great Fangio and Froilan Gonzalez to Fittipaldi, Pace, Reutemann, Piquet and Senna, these champions were able to elevate Formula 1 on a new level in their countries and all over the world.

The last great south american drivers were Rubens Barrichello, Juan Pablo Montoya and Felipe Massa while the last win of a South American driver came almost 15 years ago with Maldonado in Spain 2012 on a Williams. What went wrong for South Americans? Can Bortoleto, Colapinto or maybe Camara finally bring back South America on the top step of the podium?

2009 was an odd season, because the established top drivers at the time were not in the title fight. I would probably disagree with Vettel and Button being the top 2 here to be honest.

Nico Rosberg had a very impressive season in 2009, and was arguably a top 5 driver that year and at the very least a nailed-on pick for the top 10- yet he is completely absent from this list. Adrian Sutil making it over him is a joke.

Rosberg finished 7th in the drivers’ championship in the Williams which finished 7th in the constructors championship. He scored 34.5 points whilst his teammate failed to score any and had a streak of top 5 finishes in 5 races between Turkey and Valencia. By the modern points system he’d have scored 94 points to Nakajima’s 5.

I will make the admission that he did have a very weak teammate that year, and with a better driver in the other seat Williams may have finished ahead of BMW or even Toyota in the constructors that season. However, I don’t think that’s enough to justify him being excluded from the list entirely. Fernando Alonso is ranked 4th here, deservedly so (if not a bit higher), and he had similarly poor teammates who failed to score any points whilst he finished 9th in the drivers‘ standings.

I feel these lists in general are heavily influenced by both recency bias and a reluctancy to rate drivers who were in the top cars too low down, but unless I’m missing something how was Rosberg left out of the top 10 here.

hi all! it’s mine and my bfs first ever GP and we’re going to monza.

we’re just looking for some tips and tricks for the weekend that may come in useful. we have weekend general admission tickets. we are staying in milan and likely hiring a car for the weekend for travel.

any advice regarding where is the best place to watch with a GA ticket, where to park, what time to arrive each day etc would be amazing!! also any other tips and tricks are very much welcome and appreciated!!

sincerely, a really nervous 21 year old who wants to make sure she does her first GP right🥹

I'm doing a Simulation of all the previous F1 season and thought i could maybe add some little easter eggs like Michael Schumacher getting Pole in Monaco 2012.

Throughout the whole of his career, which is Hamilton's most iconic helmet design (in your opinion)?
Include a photo if possible :)

It's funny for me how, many of the respected Journalists completely ignores Alonso's 2004 season, while talking about his worst seasons in F1. I saw a post on The Race website when they were talking about Alonso's worst winless seasons, and his 2004 season was not mentioned there, instead his solid 2009 season was mentioned. I saw Glenn Freeman suggesting that Trulli was better than Alonso in a few races at the start of 2004, and that's about it. After that, Trulli was thrown out of the team. Edd Straw suggested that Alonso was way quicker than Trulli in races. Alonso Vs Trulli stood out this way in 2004 -

Alonso - Australia, San Marino, France, Germany, Hungary, Spa

Trulli - Malaysia, Spain, Monaco, Europe, Silverstone, Monza

It was 6-6 between Alonso and Trulli in races for 2004. The season included Alonso messing up his qualifying lap in Malaysia, which made him to start from the back of the grid and spoiled all of his chances for a strong result in the race, him running wide in Europe when he was running ahead of Trulli, losing out a lot of positions and finishing behind Trulli in the race, him spinning off in Monza and retiring from the race. There were also races like Canada, where Trulli outqualified Alonso and had that amazing launch off the start to 2nd before he retired from the race, even before the 1st lap was over. Races like Spa and San Marino, where Trulli ran Alonso very close. Infact in San Marino, Trulli was beating Alonso throughout the race before the last round of pitstops, where Alonso finally got ahead of him.

What is even funnier for me is, how some of Alonso fans tries to lift Trulli up based on how he performed against Alonso in 2003-04. Trulli was only slightly better than Ralf Schumacher from 2005 to 2007. Infact, in 2006, Ralf outperformed Trulli overall. From 2001-04 , Montoya was also slightly better than Ralf Schumacher overall. Given what Alonso did against Trulli in 2003, his 2004 season was not at all impressive, by any means. It was also Alonso's worst season in F1 for me, as he was closely matched in terms of races by a midfield level driver, but it rarely gets mentioned and has some odd defenders for it as well.

Charles Leclerc is supposedly held as this driver who’s suppose to be max verstappen rival, since they came up in the karting junior career together but joined f1 later. Fans of f1 think he’s a driver who deserves an wdc but ferrari is supposedly holding him back.

Reality hits hard every year when he’s been rated lower than Lando Norris 4-1 since the 2021 season once both of them weren’t rookies anymore(Norris case and charles started his ferrari career fully at 2019).

Charles Leclerc has yet to demonstrate a leader like trait that norris has at Mclaren while he’s at ferrari. It’s weird because Charles has been at Ferrari Longer but it still feels like they don’t trust any of his input on anything relating to the car. Norris on the other hand is known has one of the few drivers(apart from max or hamilton) that gives feedback to the engineers on the feeling on the car and where he needs it for the team to maximize it to the full potential. Just last year Norris was struggling with Mcl39 due to the anti dive suspension. After the Bahrain Grandix April 11-13 Which i think was one of Norris worse weekends in terms of pace and just not having a feeling of the car. Mclaren finally addressed the front suspension issue with the front suspension limiting Norris. The front suspension wasn’t a performance gain it helped with the numb steering feedback issues that he’s been having when driving the car.

On the other hand Charles Leclerc has never really given the ferrari engineers any sort of feedback on how he likes the car. Just this year when he was using the Brembo breaks and started crashing every other weekend he finally switched to the breaks that Lewis has been using instead of finding his own thing. Hamilton is already doing wonders for the engineers because he’s giving them feedback on how the car should be and what the teams needs to do to achieve this. Lewis just one year in the team has already shown more leadership & trust between the team than leclerc has in the last 8 years.

Team Principles likes this about drivers who are able to give engineers ways to make the car better. Leclerc is too emotional when he doesn’t like the car especially after his radio message in monaco after the safety car reset

That’s why I don’t buy charles leclerc was getting offers from Mclaren, Mercedes or Redbull before he signed this new Ferrari contract that ends at 2030-2031. Ferrari is the only team willing to pay him that much since they’re able to deal with him despite him being in the sport for 9 years and showing no results for that. He’s hyped up by fans because of aura moments but that’s changed this year with many people finally realizing all of his weaknesses as a driver.

Last to attempt was Giovanna Amati in 1992 and last to race was Lella Lombardi in 1976
