I’ve listened to this already on spotify, but I wanted to comment in response to what you said at the end of the episode. The driver ratings are super enjoyable to listen to!! Please continue doing them, I listen on my commute after a race weekend and they make the journey much faster. Thanks for the great content as always

[@user-nu4fe6ht4h]

2nd this, love driver ratings wouldn't be the same without it!

[@SchrodingersDinger]

I would also feel like I've lost something major from my race weekend routine without the driver ratings. It's great fun making ratings myself either in my head or with a vote and comparing them to your two thoughts. Sometimes I miss some things with my less flavoured drivers, but I still enjoy knowing how all the drivers on the grid are doing overall.

[@wilms2328]

I love this series. Obviously I don't know what your KZbin Analytics say, but I really appreciate this series for really diving into the races of every driver. For the British GP, Sainz was barely mentioned in the broadcast. This series helps me appreciate these kinds of, let's say, "forgotten performances". So personally I like this series a lot, I haven't missed an episode since it started!

Driver ratings is my second favorite video format on your channel (right after race review), please continue doing it.

Driver ratings are also my 2nd favourite from them, but the first gotta be the funniest tweets.

[@MrVecitis]

For me it's mby even the favorite. I want them to add team ratings, then it would be even better. And don't be to shy to give drivers no rating for the race, because I think it happens more often that driver is no ratable.

It's very close for me, but this one is my favorite (with Race Review coming right after). I also want them to keep doing it 😅

I’m a secondary school teacher in Uruguay and I help run the school’s radio station. Some of the students have an F1 show every week there, where they talk about the races.

[@Synur97]

N/A is fair for Gasly. If you could at least judge him based of quali, but when the track was dry, he didn't even come out of the pits, cause there was no point for him with the penalty..

[@burritoomg]

He also stated that he intentionally came in P20 in Q3 because of the risk of him knocking out Ocon. If he had made it into Q2 and Ocon came in P16, he would've prevented Ocon from getting a better placement in subsequent rounds.

[@soundscape26]

I think there should always be a N/A everytime a driver is unable to start a race. The race is 80% of the grade.

[@FormulaMarius]

Its crazy that the fans gave Gasly a higher grade than Ocon ... the only thing Gasly did all weekend was spinning off in fp3 ^^ I think NA or a really low grade as the only thing that can be rated is his FP3 would be fair

[@Parker--]

⁠@@FormulaMariusif you think he should be given a low grade or lower than ocon then that is even crazier than the people who rated his weekend higher than ocon. He wasn’t allowed to even try in quali specifically to boost ocon.

[@Parker--]

Max got screwed again. He deserves a 10. He had what was arguably/probably the fourth fastest car and still probably wins if the race was 2 laps longer. Also, you can’t give credit for Lewis making his tires last and downgrade Norris when you acknowledge Norris was on used softs.

[@strixaluco7423]

This race showed again Sainz and Hulk deserve seats in faster cars next season. For Sainz I hope he gets the seat at Mercedes. Hulk at Audi kinda hurts, but still isnt so bad considerung how old Nico is and him beeing in a similiar situation like Alonso, making big money in his last years before he retires (again).

[@Stormknight-hl7yk]

As a German I would love to see Hulk in the Mercedes. He and Nico R. started almost at the same time and seeing him there, maybe get his first podium would be awesome. And what better way would be there to end your career. One season would be enough to let Kimi A. develop as well I think.

[@a1white]

I would love to see how he compares against Russel in the Mercedes. Both are fast drivers, but I think Sainz might have the edge with strategy

[@parsamns6677]

Oscar was my driver of the day… He didnt step a foot wrong the whole race…

[@a1white]

Yes, same with Carlos

[@HighVoltage2111]

19:51 THANK YOU Matt for talking about Carlos' great performance this weekend! I know there were many things happening in the race but I was so disappointed that no one seemed to notice how well Carlos was doing. I also appreciate your honest (albeit painful) assessment of Charles' struggles this weekend. He's absolutely great, but this weekend was just not his best and I feel like some people were leaning a bit too much onto the 'bad ferrari strategy' narrative. I appreciate your work and I hope you don't let yourself get dragged down by some clowns who love to hate for no reason. Keep doing what your doing! :)

[@mari-us6rh]

No it won't,cos Mclaren will mess it up for him!!!

[@reina.0_0]

I've been trying to figure out the Charles situation and I think it comes down to this. Charles fights with Stroll and degradates his tyre's more. Overtakes and gap with Carlos becomes gradually bigger. Rain starts coming down and Charles struggles more because of degradated tyre's and feels bad on them. Ferrari exaggerates the rain on Charles side. Charles thinks that inters will be better because he's struggling and more rain will come. They pit and this decision messed up his whole race. The main point is Charles communication with Bryan (his engineer) is not good enough. Carlos and Ricky were in sync talking about levels pink green indigo cyan, rain in S1 en 3, worse in corners 4, 7,9 ... They had a system and it worked perfectly. But with Charles it was just rain... lots of rain... little rain... RAIN

[@bl4xxun]

pretty much the same with lando vs oscar. Oscars race engineer: "we're the only ones with mediums, we believe the medium is the best". vs Lando's side: WJ: "Mediums to cover people like verstappen, softs to cover people like hamilton" LN: "Hamilton... I think Hamilton. Or do you think medium, I don't mind" WJ: "We're going Soft" overreacting to lewis' tyre choice instead of sticking to the plan

[@Deadlyspark]

​@@bl4xxunagree. A lot of people bag lando, and praise oscar here, but it was their engineers that made the choices what they were. Oscars was clear, and got a clear response, landos was not, and got an equally unclear response

[@waynec3563]

The worst thing for Leclerc was that the slick runners rellay only slowed down significantly for 1 lap - lap 19, which is tha lap that Leclerc pitted. And the team left him on them. If he had pitted for fresh tyres, Leclerc would have gained the time for his pit stop in 2 laps comapred to staying on inters. And of course when it actiually rained, his inters were no good and he had to pit for new ones. By that time he had lost 3 pit stops worth of time vs Sainz.

[@fuzzlemacfuzz]

It is interesting how different people interpret the same data. Definitely agree that the confusion regarding tyres cost Norris the win. Mclaren need to get better at making decisions whilst in winning positions.

[@michaelwells7039]

0 out of 10 for Perez. Got to go !

[@ShadabMonjur]

Ricciardo was forced to use old parts, due to his car not turning on, 30 mins before the race. He was 6 KPH slower than all the cars in the straights. I expected Matt and Tommy to at least mention this part. Not saying it would have drastically change the outcome but a bit disappointed.

[@FTskims]

they didn’t bc they dont like the guy

[@aubanurmi]

They do not go deep enough. Sometimes is just like watching a very regular F1 show, not something with experts. That's why I like Peter Windsor so much, he has a journalist mentality.

[@rromerca]

@@FTskims I mean I do not think that exactly Tommy does really like Yuki but there are interviews with Matt and DR. According to Matt they do shoeis every 1000 paid subscribers, 15 at the time of the interview. I think they are harder on DR like everyone seems to be whenever he is not in the top five which is unfortunate. You do notice when Yuki doesn't perform as well because of similar issues, such as variable conditions or car issues, they are def more understanding and forgiving. I do feel like these videos are def more on the side of vibes though.

[@hey2335]

Please don't lie. He didn't have issues with PU during the race. His top speed was the same as Yuki's, apart from one lap when Yuki got a tow behind Albon in one lap when Albon overtook him, that's what fooled people. They changed his PU but his PU performance was the same. No one from the team said that he was few km slower than Yuki, you can also check telemetry. Spreading misinformation is bad.

[@BrownsNJ24]

@@hey2335literally everything you said was false, his car was in pieces 30 mins prior to start

[@joemeracap2492]

Not even a Zhou fan but his rating is harsh imo. He got screwed with his strategy on the outset and I don’t think you can blame him for not making the soft tires last as part of that will be the cars fault. For example, we didn’t blame the Haas drivers last year for chewing up the tires, we blamed the car. Thought a 5 would have been fair given he was doomed to fail with the strategy gamble and the fact he did out qualify bottas. very surprised Matt and Tommy scoffed at this.

[@soundscape26]

I noticed the same, they were quite harsh with Zhou. And then Leclerc which had an overall worse weekend gets a 4.

[@alectang1614]

It's the same every week for Zhou - he gets overlooked by Mat and Tommy and hardly puts any effort into understanding his race. One of Zhou's strengths is making tyres last, which is why his race pace is often faster than Bottas, including this race - he was lapping faster than Bottas when he had fresher tyres. Unfortunately, it never gets noticed though.

[@ruili5579]

i think their rating is driving ➕ cars. so 7 for zhou and -4 for sauber.

[@yumeasuka4939]

His engine was overheat at 8lap,i saw the tr.The engineer told him engine 402 hot.and he keep losing positions.

[@JefferyGaz123]

Completely agree. The likes of Zhou and Bottas could be driving the perfect race in those Sauber tractors, but they will probably struggle to get above a 5 unless they score points...

[@aer1chan]

Driver Ratings and Prediction videos are the main reason for why I'm obsessed with this channel. Please continue to do driver ratings. After every race, I look forward to watching the race review and the driver ratings.

[@freerunnering]

This is my favourite thing you do, more so than the race review or predictions. It’s so easy to miss things when watching the race and completely forget a driver. So having a rundown of the entire grid and how they each did is great for reminding me about things I’d forgotten or results I hadn’t noticed. Or even just following up days later on things we didn’t know, but you’ve now learnt the answer to.

[@BrysonDobbins-mz9sk]

Kmag didn’t have the upgrades so that had a little bit of an affect! Edit: Kmag had the option to have the upgrades but didn’t like the feel of them so he chose not to run them because they were damaged

Keep doing the driver ratings, they are a good way to recap what happened to every driver.

[@eirianerisdare80]

Daniel was driving a frankencar in the race. The car wouldn't start the morning of the race and they had to put an old PU in there, which meant he had a significant speed deficit to Yuki. His race engineer basically agreed he couldn't have done much more than he did.

[@courtneyanne.martin]

Ooooft the DR rating is rough guys. His PU was totally rebuilt just before and RB admitted they didn’t get it right. The car was a tractor. To be able to gain some positions, stay a head of Perez and Charles and hold position is pretty impressive. Edit* adding some additional very valid comments. They screwed his quali timing and he had to push when his tires weren’t ready and the issues he had with the car made him 6kph slower than Yuki. The man deserves a 6 with all of that.

[@twistgaming3089]

Plus, they totally screwed his quali timing and he had to push last second when his tires werent in the proper window

[@Reynadiff696]

[@CONCORDE444]

not only that but he was even lucky to start, posted on his Instagram after the race due to running an engine fault on the car the car was still in bits just before the race start so perhaps running the engine with at slightly less power.

[@evanbland4011]

Exactly, watching the race and looking at his lap times, you can see his car was down on power.

[@cijfermanful]

Tommy giving Ricciardo the same rating (4) in a weekend where he got fucked in qualy and had to drive the race with an old engine that was down 9 km/h on the straights to Yuki as Yuki in Canada (4) where Tsunoda was slower than Daniel all weekend ánd fucked his own race by spinning out.... Feels like Tsunoda regularly gets higher grades for similar performances and vice versa

[@augustinramlie]

His teammate did have a bad strategy as well, the VCARB team overall did a terrible job.

[@augustinramlie]

@@cijfermanful It's looking at many other factors. First of all Yuki was destroying Riccardo in every aspect and spun last lap. A 4 is honestly some may say harsh but spinning out of the points has consequences. Ricciardo this week has been below avg and therefore gets a 4. Also Yuki had brake issues in Spain or Austria which destroyed his race pace and quali. Both are making mistakes or not performing and honestly even though Tommy likes Yuki I rarely see him over compensating him.

[@viewed_by_heather]

a quote from DTS I’ve never forgotten is Carlos’s cousin/manager Carlos saying, “Carlos is very good in the wet” so best not to forget that. another thing about Carlos that I’ve seen nobody mention (cause they keep talking about Lewis) is that Carlos has made a lot of his own calls and strategies when he disagreed with the pit wall. put some respect on the man’s name!!

[@user-uc1ny1ns2o]

hes good in the wet compared to leclerc yes, but there are plenty of drivers better than him. verstappen, norris, hamilton, russell, alonso, hulkenberg and on very, very rare ocasions stroll and perez are better than sainz, who is consistently slightly above average in the rain, as is leclerc.

[@RubeusLeclerc]

I think they do genuinely respect Carlos. They say so often and for the very reasons you mention. He talks back to the pit wall a lot! “Stop Inventing!” Dude is awesome.

[@Perrin376]

I would say, Logan did spend the first 20 laps within .5 tenths of Albon. I believe a Haas passed him before the stops and he stayed within a second of the Haas. Have to double check but there was still a Williams double stack, and then the softs at the end did him zero favors. I think most of the lower field legitimately drove to survive for the last 12 laps on the softs vs racing. Overall, pretty good performance from him and seems more confident.

[@walover165]

He got double stacked twice, both on the switch to inters and back to slicks.

[@SilentSno]

Logan also wanted to pit 1 lap earlier for the inters, which would of undercut Yuki and could of gotten 10th or even past Alex. And medium tire was the easy call, which they did on Alex but not Logan for whatever reason.

[@AegrusYT]

Norris with an 8 is honestly so weak to me. - Doesn't improve on his final Q3 lap and misses out on pole. - Overtaken on the start. - Slower than his teammate in the first stint. - Bad call on the softs (meanwhile his teammate again instantly makes the correct call) - Overshoots his pitbox - Probably pushes his softs too hard in his first couple of laps. McLaren have the fastest car, and this weekend both the team and the driver messed up an easy win yet Norris is still being treated as if he did nothing wrong.

How are you giving tsunoda a 8 here and ricciardo an 8 in austria. Ricciardo quallifyed 11th and finished 9th. Tsunoda 13th and 10th here

Tsunoda wasn’t that great at all, he got outdriven by Albon in a Williams Austria Ricciardo was an absolute masterclass in comparison

Carlos' drive was very overshadowed by other things that happened in the race. He had an insane pace that even Max praised. He even had to deal with some ERS problems during the race which he solved consequently and managed to get the fastest lap as well. Im also impressed by the communication with his engineer because they were talking about the rain intensity with color codes, the same that his engineer saw on the radar, which is very clever. Definitely a nine.

Always love seeing the driver rating vids come out, dont stop! 😊

[@EduSaav]

ranking Norris under Piastri is fair tbh i would even consider 7/10 when comparing how bad his soft faded away to lewis softs.

[@TheBalfrog]

It’s worth noting Norris was on used softs

[@charleszouch1629]

If you guys are going to continue to rate drivers. It seems you need to get all the info. Nearly 1 driver a race is unfairly rated due to issues with their car or something else. That you two dont know about or fail to mention. Riccardo being 9km slower on the straights than his team mate and coming 13th is not a 4.

[@craigspender1710]

They're too lazy. Unfortunately, neither Matt, nor especially Tommy, do any research into the individual circumstances of each driver within the race before casting their "expert" opinions. In most instances their rating is based on the car, or on their not-inconsiderable personal biases. Too often, they look only at the finishing position next to the drivers name (either in qualy or the race) and are too lazy to dig further into the copious data, team reports and driver comments at their disposal. They are knowledgeable and they are enthusiasts (which is great) but the manner in which they allocate their driver ratings makes them look like rank amateurs.

[@charleszouch1629]

@@craigspender1710 I wouldn't call them lazy, I do understand that this is probably more on the entertainment/personal side of things rather than stats. Which I enjoy, I don't miss many episodes. Just a few tweaks to make it fair and consistent.

[@a1white]

No. That's just your opinion that a driver unfairly rated. Other people think other dirvers should be higher or much lower. These are all personal opnions just as this video is their personal opinons. It doesn't matter. If you disagree, that is OK. they don't have to stop doing this because you might disagree with a driver rating.

[@craigspender1710]

@@a1white Stating that it's just my opinion is sort of stating the bleeding obvious. (Your opinion is just your opinion as well.) You haven't addressed the core of my argument, which is that they fail to look beyond simple numbers and frequently cast superficial judgements based on their own biases. When they give an opinion or rating without bothering to research the swathes of information to which we all have access, it's either sheer laziness or latent bias. If you presume to put yourself in a position of judging the performance of others, you better damn well have some substance to your assessment criteria. If they gave the same ratings, but were able to substantiate those with clearly articulated facts, then fair enough. They don't. Must do better.

Never thought I would see guys giving a 10 to Lewis 😅

[@Zabijsie720]

Wow! Such good ratings and so interesting. Verstappen was no where near a 10, 8 at most with the best strategy by far at the end and still couldn’t catch Lewis on USED softs, once again couldn’t handle rain and dropped back 10s. Logan deserved a 7-8 given his car, and being shafted by the pit stops, Piastri 9 because again, shafted and Alex easily deserved an 8 after being assaulted by alonso.

Please don't get rid of this series, it is always great to get a little bit of perspective on drivers who get overlooked during the race or full race podcast

Norris deserved lower than 8. He made several avoidable mistakes that Oscar didn't, and Oscar would've finished miles ahead if the team didn't screw him.

[@ttv.smplmher]

If he was so quick this past weekend, why did he qualify p5?

[@extremegrieferbible]

@@ttv.smplmher Because qualifying doesn't give you points and says precisely nothing about the actual race? Last time I checked Oscar was ahead of Lando after several laps despite his qualifying position. Did Oscar lose places at the start? Did Oscar screw up his pitstop by stopping too late? Did Oscar screw his last stint by choosing the wrong tyres? No. No he didn't.

[@ttv.smplmher]

@@extremegrieferbible so if he was p3 instead of Norris, that wouldn’t have been better? And let’s not act like if they didn’t just put Norris on mediums he wins

I would have given Verstappen a 10 given the decisions he made, it was him that decided the moments to pit. And every decision was better than any other. He was first both times to pit and both times it was the optimal point to pit, and drive to maximum with a car clearly missing the pace.

[@chaycowdry7654]

He followed Hamilton into the pits the 2nd time

[@Stepheno0125]

For real. Max is sooo good that I can’t help but want him to fail, but seeing him race when the Red Bull isn’t the best car is incredible. This was definitely a better drive than a lot of his wins.

[@rozburg]

I agree. People were giving credit to RedBull strategists, but if you listen to the Radio, Max was making the decisions.

[@imgoodkinda]

Yes but he made a mistake in quali which resulted in him getting damage and finishing p4 in quali so I'd give him a 9

[@venorando3672]

@@imgoodkinda Borderline 8 as well. Let's keep in mind too, if McLaren didn't F up their strategy for both cars, and Russell didn't DNF, Max probably would not be on the podium. But solid race regardless!
