[@davidbalogun7569]

I agree with your pick of Lewis for tyre management but i just wanted to shout out Charles Leclerc because i genuinely think his race pace is the most underrated aspect of any driver in F1, people seem to think he can only drive in qualifying but across his career his gap to his teammates has been bigger in races than in qualifying including vs Sainz who gets praised for his sunday performance, hes put in multiple tyre management masterclasses, making the one stop work in japan, his last 2 abu dhabi performances beating perez with one stops, austria 22 and vegas where he outpaced max at the end of stints, in Monaco last week where he had enough tyres left at the end to dunk 7 seconds on Piastri. Hell in COTA last year his tyre management was so good ferrari put him on a bad strategy because they thought a one stop at COTA was possible

There aren't really many categories which are given out on merit where Verstappen realistically isn't up there.

Besides "Sponsors" an maybe "Experience", there's no category where Verstappen really can't compete.

They want to create the perfect bodybuilder, BUT they can only use one part from each person.

[@dco1019]

how is Tommo surprised by people thinking verstappen has great awareness ? ..but ham having more awareness is not surprising? wut ?.. hamilton crashes into everybody and used to crash even more..or hes very meek and waves people by. (which needs no awareness) verstappen is one of the greatest's starters on the grid, in the chaos the man used to make up one or two places routinely on restarts and starts. I think people that dont like him or are fans of others just roll their eyes when that happened and continue like that wasnt great. the man was in more battles than djenghis khan (relative to that his incident numbers are actually low) and he doesnt punt people off (like ham out of incompetence or impatience) he doesnt lose control, he doesnt make contact cause hes 'unaware' he aggressively squeezes people off line.. big distinction.

[@kristoffer3000]

Correct take, Max uses every millimeter of room available in the rules and no more, he's arguably just like Vettel in that regard

[@dco1019]

@@kristoffer3000 thanks great minds think alike 🙏🏻 .. yeah always really surprised that some people think that verstappen doesn't have great awareness. Its puzzling... Anyone worth their salt, certainly f1 'experts' should know that having incidents isn't the same as being unaware. It depends entirely on the incidents at hand.

[@dco1019]

Like I remember max saying that he watches helmets to see which way the driver in front of him is watching...to inform in what way he should surprise them. Probably good to set up dummies that way too. Apparently you can see the helmet a bit when they lean to one side. Even from being in the slipstream of that car I'm not sure which drivers have the awareness for that.. not many on the grid probably. Edit; oh.. and when the dutch reporter was amazed by that.. he said it was easy cause you just see

The disrespect towards Max is disgusting.

[@silverhand861]

I mean... He won the most categories of all, and was mentioned for nearly all as well. He's clearly one of the most respected drivers on the grid, if not THE most. No doubt he's incredible, possibly the best, but that doesn't mean he's the best at each little thing. Just that he's the best package on balance. That's hardly "disgusting" levels of disrespect, no? Which specific categories do you feel he was disrespected?

Couldn't agree more on Bravery 😂 On Radio in the past and now as a competitive driver, Yuki has been showing flashes of him being one of the coldest driver out there. Getting the overtake of the month in suzuka against Hulkenberg and the inside overtake against the 7-time champion Lewis in Miami plus that 2021 Abu Dhabi (His Rookie year) against a mighty Mercedes of Bottas. That little dude is really defining the phrase "Small and Incredible"

Lando should be top in tyre management

[@markbugos]

I think that Lewis winning Silverstone 2020 has nothing to do with tire management. If anything that should count against him because his aggressive driving put him in that position in the first place. Don’t get me wrong I think he’s great with his tires but that specific race shouldn’t make you put him at the top

Tommo never said that was the reason he put Lewis on top. Do you not understand what a cheeky joke is? Cause Tommo just added that in for the giggles obviously lol

[@omargraham8591]

My 1 issue with voting Max over Lewis in racecraft is Max rarely has to work his way thru the field or over take anyone on a legitimate fight anymore. Back when he was doing that particularly with Lewis he wasnt big on leaving space soo. While as a Lewis fan (among other drivers tbf) i can admit Max has awesome racing ability and race craft and that his race craft has improved (even the way he manages a race from the front without overtaking) i still think Lewis has better race craft than Max. How many times has lewis qualified poorly or gotten a penalty for jewelry or some bollox and then won race. Ans: loads. Moreover lewis has been a much cleaner racer ie leaving enough space while getting the move done or dummying his opponent for the pass at the right moment. Vs Max passes because he is faster than you or just more fearless and trusting in his ability to hold onto a piece of tarmac. No hate no shade just my thoughts. When it comes racecraft the only person with racecraft the Lewis is Fernando imo.

If you are talking reliability for a driver . Just a gentle reminder . Max Verstappen was the only driver to complete every lap of every race last year . So this is perfectly awarded to him. By the way Tommo you took 9 categories to award anything to Max. British bias eh

The only one before 9 that’s debatable is bravery, and Yuki is also a fair shout. But I’m sure you’re not biased either 😉

I respect all decisions but I am a bit puzzled as to how Lando Norris did not take one of these categories. He is arguably the 2nd quickest driver on the grid rn. I do believe he had more pace than charles
