[@GlenAshtonF1]

I dont think you could ever call Norris a team mate killer when Sainz beat him both years they were team mates, just Danny Ric wasn't suited to the McLaren.

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

the difference is Lando was a newbie then. No one expected him to beat Sainz, and to his credit, he was catching up and more than likely would've started beating him on the regular had Sainz not moved. Ric, on the other hand, was expected to completely dominate Lando in the seasons, potentially cause Lando to lose his seat. And what happened was the complete opposite. What's worse was that the gap became larger in the 2nd season. The McLaren stint nearly completely ended Danny's F1 career, and it took a ridiculous set of circumstances for him to return.

[@doghat1619]

Lando is so fucking overhyped because he beat a washed up Riccardo, Sainz handily beat him and Sainz is a middling driver.

[@ogTryhard21]

I think an honorable mention for biggest good surprise is Albon. He just keeps looking better, the more time he spends in the car. He was solid last year, excellent this year, so who knows what he will do in that Williams next year.

It was just an unfortunate accident, fraction would be something like what Ocon and Perez were doing to eachother back in Force India.

That crash was not due any bad blood between them... Gasly could've hit any other car there, it happened to be Ocon.

I think Matt's prediction about de vrise and Riccardo is proof that his is Helmut Marco. think about it, no one has ever seen them in the same room at the same time 🤔

[@nono-mu9rw]

Who on earth calls lando a teammate killer? Personally I predicted that Piastri will match Norris' pace faster than people expect and I think it's looking good.

[@davidpanken]

Biggest good surprise is without a doubt Fernando Alonso. No one saw Aston Martin to be competing with the top 3 constructors, but still he is P1 if we don't count Red Bull in terms of points. Oskar has been good and I really like him, but Alonso is clear in terms of biggest good surprise.

[@daarom3472]

Oscar isnt a new Lando or George, he's a new Fernando/Lewis/Max.

[@selder_7]

If he was already beating Norris then 100%, but I think it’s a bit too early to make that call. Certainly has a ton of potential and I’m really interested to see how he performs in the next few years

[@xxCHEZxx]

I hope he does become a champion

[@soundscape26]

I think it's still too early for such a definitive conclusion.

[@akorthouwer]

Let's just wait till he starts dominating lando before we'll make that claim right

[@coin5207]

I think on pace he might be with them at some point, but he doesn't quite have that same unyielding winner mentality that they have (yet) All of these multiple world champions have had to have some degree of ruthlessness to try and reinforce their place as #1 driver in the team, for example, Lewis disregarding team orders to let Fernando past in his rookie season, Fernando blocking Lewis in the pit lane, Max not letting checo past, Vettel passing webber for the win etc. If he wants to be number 1 he can't be afraid to make some asshole moves once in a while

[@cg_2k72]

Yeah Gasly would be within single digits of Ocon if Kmag didn't smash into a wall in Australia. He was likely going to finish 5th or 6th. And Ocon got a podium in Monaco which is an achievement, but at the same time if you're qualifying on the podium there's literally no way to lose that position bar unreliability or error. I will note that Gasly still has a shit ton of penalty points, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has been driving conservatively for the first half. But in all honestly both drivers are pretty much equally matched. They're the perfect pairing for a team like Alpine. (Good enough to be 2nd drivers at the front, basically guaranteed team leaders in back of the grid teams)

Don't know if we can ever really say Gasley will be the biggest flop at this point, since a certain somebody lost his seat already. Whether De Vries deserved it that early or not is another story, but who can flop harder than that?

In my book Tommy's still on track. Kind of depends how Russell and Merc in general perform, the rest of the season. If Hamilton takes an easy P3 in the standings due to Merc upgrades, I'd say Alonso on P4 or P5 would still count as best of the rest. If Aston fully sends it, Alonso should be on P3 to earn the title "Best of the Rest".

[@Djungelurban]

As far as new winners, I still subscribe to the reality where red bull is in a different timeline, meaning Lando got his first win in Silverstone in HISTORIC fashion, holding off Lewis freaking Hamilton in Silverstone after a late safety car and crazy call for hards instead of softs. We'd still be talking about it for years. -sigh- I can dream.

[@Cloxxki]

Yeah, Maybe the Williams was just really easy to drive, especially on Monza. Albon might have gotten a better result there, well ahead of the DRS train.

Biggest Flop so far this season has to be Lance Stroll. Started the year with a car that could take the fight to RB, and even though they fallen off slightly, he’s still in the same position at the beginning of the season. No podiums, 5th was best grid starting position and most of all, doesn’t even have 50 POINTS. Forsure biggest flop

[@grahamreece519]

not really a flop year if every year is a flop year

[@tktxlegend4540]

Best of the rest, historically, has been 7th. You have the top 3 teams that are usually quite a bit faster than the rest of the grid, making up the top 6 drivers, leaving whoever comes in 7th being "best of the rest" so that's what I assumed he meant by that. Honestly though, at this point, best of the rest for this season might as well be 3rd.

[@clintonmaher6930]

My prediction - Piastri will win a race before Norris does.

Also Piastri should be rated higher because many of his poor races come down to lack of experience, and he should get an easier ride as a rookie.
