i think stroll deserves to have his own tier below latifi

The most generic tier list ever. No real consideration of driver performance and sticking to rumours and grid banter. I was expecting more critical analysis of driver performance. Also the tiers are badly categorised. But, you know, its your channel, so you do you...

definate British Bias here

Giving Hamilton best of the best in a season he calle a nightmare and can't wait to be over is wild . Hamilton himself said that the season can't end soon enough for him

Bro I really love the driver ratings video but doing it at this time of the season. I mean it’s odd that you are not in the middle of the season not you are at the end of it because we still have three races left. I know three races doesn’t make that much of a difference, butwait until the season is done. That’s my opinion though.

Mostly agree, but would move Lewis, Fernando and Perez down a tier and Franco up a tier myself.

Stroll and Zhou something to prove????? Even if u put a rocketship to stroll's car he aint winnin a race let alone a championship the reason hes a f1 driver its bcs of his daddy money same goes to zhou, zhou goes to goatifi category bro is slow as shit

No point loss to loser Norris from Miami to Austin is crazy, absolutely umbievabme but that's a fact.

Gasly is underrated I feel, last few races he got equally as many points as Perez I saw as a stat, in a really struggling Alpine

Stroll anywhere above Latifi tier is fake

I think you nailed it with this video. Every take you said I agree with. Such a special time to be a F1 fan!

Putting Franco below Ollie and Liam is kinda crazy, yes he had that big shunt in Brazil, but like, so was half the grid. I think I Ollie and Liam and Franco of all preformed equally admirably, they’ve all been thrown into cars unexpectedly this season and have had to make the best of it, and they really have. Though I feel they have been putting up quality midfield driver preformances but I can understand putting them in solid but replaceable due to the brevity of their current experience but Franco? In something to prove? He’s proven enough that everyone wants him full time on the grid, that there are rumors he’s wanted for a RedBull seat, and then say he’s got something to prove.

Colapinto with Zhou and Stroll? This doesn't make any sense

In my opinion, the quality of Leclerc‘s and Verstappen‘s season this year has been roughly the same. Charles had about as many weekends of not finding the last two to three tenths per lap as Max has had throwing his brain out the cockpit moments😂 Brazil showed that there’s still no discussion to be had about the extra bit Verstappen has that no one else can replicate but he also has his weakness

Colapinto behind Zhou is bs ah

Doohan = Prost Colapinto = Senna

Excellent. And the ratings left to right in the first 2 categories are correct.

He's not Logan Sargeant. Really? THAT is what elevates Zhou Guanyou from the bottom rank from which he's failed to elevate his own car pretty much every qualifying session and race this year?

Mostly agree with you, but with colapinto you were spot on! cheers from Argentina.

Fun fact, today's Sauber is faster than last year's RBR

How have you put Perez so high

Max, Charles, & George are the top 3, hands down.

You said something that makes sense, a lot of sense as a matter of fact. Perez cannot fight with the top drivers, he doesn’t have the skill, the temper, and many other things, but he can fight in the mid field.

Back then, Leclerc was overrated. Now, he is one of the most complete drivers on the grid imo. He will fight against the McLarens next year.

Max is head and shoulders above everyone else... He wouldve been wdc with any of the top team cars this year - his mistakes are so rare , at some point i rly thought its not human.Fortunately we saw him doing a mistake this year - for the first time after 3 years... Now we atleast know he is human... Both Hamilton and Alonso werent rly good and especially not consistant.... I wouldnt even agree if you rate the theoretical capabilities of those Drivers. So id go with: Max = God Tier - Nobody = S Tier - Leclerc, Norris, Piastri, Russel, Hamilton A Tier - rest is good midfield beside Stroll.. Alonso is over unfortunately.. Also Hamilton couldnt show off this year but still good enough for A Tier imho..

Max not winning his home race and Charles winning Monaco and Monza puts Charles ahead of max this year. Max basically had his 23 car for the first 4 races in 24 anyway.

Why isn't this video being made after the season. Like, when we actually need extra F1 content.

leclerc finally gets the recognition he deserves

Stroll is Latifi level

Gasly should be a "half borderline champions"

W. I'm sick of this Colapinto glazing, Lawson and Bearman have shown more this year so far. Good to see someone looking at it more objectively in terms of his performance instead of looking at how marketable he is

The last 2 seasons Perez hasnt been in a midfield car, you can't judge him by how he performed many seasons ago. On current form he is at best something to prove tier.

Absolutely mad to put Perez there. I get what you mean that *maybe* he can be a good midfield driver if he was in a midfield team, but given his performances over the last two years (as you stress so much during the video) he has too often been near touching the edge of the Latifi tier almost comparatively. Something to prove tier 100% based on his last 2 years results. Your supposition that he could still be a good midfield driver is literally the something that he has to prove.

I could actually get behind on this exact list, well done.

Both Ferrari drivers should go one step down. I would say Charles could be the next best driver, but he has plenty to prove under pressure before calling him error free. He basically had little pressure this year, and you could also argue that he got beat comfortably by Max even though over the whole season his car was probably just as good. In the part of the season when the car was not that good, he was often suffering rather than getting the best possible result all the time. Because he was not in the fight nobody paid attention to those weekends. Sainz always gets judged on his great weekends, but he also has not so good at all weekends, and those generally get ignored in the analyses. I also think Lando has shown the consistency that Carlos has not, so it is not fair to rate him at the same level. Yes he crumbled a bit against Max, but Carlos has never beaten Max in a an on track fight either like Charles has.

How is Max not in his own tier? I'm sorry but 43 year old Fernando Alonso was not on the same level as Max Verstappen this year, Lewis Hamilton has been awful at times too. Leclerc was probably the second best driver this year, but even he isn't in the same tier as Max, he's far closer to Lando and George than he is to Max.

Hey Aldas this videos are worth watching for the content. However if you want more objective tier list i think it would be better to rank each driver in each race and then do the media. I dont think is fair to evaluate a driver looking on his last season. Is good to see evolution but not for judge. This would add arguments and would lead your videos to have more support by mentionin data, difference in points, Qualys, Races, something you could have focused more.

Nah alonso in green

no offense to lando i just dont think he is either borderline champion and he is not a quality midfield driver, there has to be somepalce between those ranks he fits in..

NEXT YEAR ALBON WILL EITHER BE PROVEN TO BE FRAUDULENT OR HES ACTUALLY GOOD

Sergio is Christian we have to switch places with Franco please...

No way Lewis is above Russell. Even including 2023 its complete bullshit

zhou and lance both belong in latifi :P

The Leclerc rating in interesting but saying that, it seems Max does have more respect from him than the likes of Lando - it reminds me of how Mika Hakkinen got Michael's respect over the likes of Hill, Montoya, Villeneuve etc.

I think you need to adjust your tiers. Quality midfield drivers and Solid but replaceable are basically the same thing. Those drivers you put in quality midfield are all replaceable. Hulk being the possible exception as someone who has absolutely taken his car to places it doesn't deserve to be. But can you honestly say that any of those drivers you have put in solid but replaceable would be a step down from those in the tier above? The Alpine drivers got a great result in Brazil but that was exceptional circumstances. That aside they have just been meeting expectations. Albon has been decent but hasn't done anyting outstanding. Yuki is fast but can't lead a team and rarely makes forward progress in a race. Perez may well be a quality midfield driver, but considering he has been beaten by both VCARBS several times this season how can anyone argue he is as good or better than any of those three?

Haha ! Yes we roasted you on Oscar last year. Good job with this list. ( too bad you don’t have an “up and coming” category for Liam Ollie etc

Alonso is not best of the best anymore unfortunately. To be in that category, you have to be outqualifying and outracing Lance Stroll every single weekend, and he isn’t

Honestly I agree with having Max Fernando and Lewis in the best of the best. To me Charles is still inferior to the three of them, but is superior to those in the other tier. So yes, to me he deserves to be an intermediate one between the top and the current second one.

Inmaculate wheel knowledge as usual.

I would swap Hulkenberg and Piastri and put Perez in latifitier honestly. but I agree with the rest. Ocon to solid maybe
