Yeah but at what cost, none of the 3 new teams made something or contended AT ANY time for a race win, they were just canon fother in the races and died a preatty short life, like come on campos and HRT died in ONE SEASON and lotus followed them the next year, cant just bring all of these random people in the sport to die in such a fast pace, go to F2 or F3 or something, F1 should stay with their mindset of only allowing big manufacturers to enter because its simply unlickely that a new small team will make it in F1, only if they buy a preexisting team or something but joining from the ground up is impossible right now, would demolish the sport standard, its like letting a F4 driver go to F1 makes no sence.

[@cesarxmbert]

we don't really need more teams in F1, we need teams that are willing to invest and perform... unlike Haas, Renault and Sauber.

[@Burnout900012]

Agree, HRT, Marussia and Caterham where pretty much doomed from the outset because they where set to a cost cap, which never happened. Plus going back even further, Super Aguri where doomed because they had to race in 2008 with a very poor 2007 Honda and sponsors didn't pay up. What annoys me, is that Andretti was a serious bid for once, willing to pay the 300 million fee, had an engine supplyer lined up, but F1 don't want it, shooting itself in the foot, which makes me think we'll be stuck with 10 teams for a good 5 years or so, we need 2 more teams on the grid, then its perfect. Bernie would have welcomed Andretti with open arms. I really don't understand Stefano's stance that we don't need new teams, I get he doesn't want to upset the current teams, but we can't be stuck with 10 teams or 20 cars forever. F1 turning Andretti away sets a dangerous precedent in my eyes. If we lose Haas, Williams, or Sauber, then F1 might regret turning Andretti away.....

For comparison, here's f1metrics' 2010-2019 ranking based on a mathematical model that attempts to separate driver and team performance and excludes non-driver-error mechanical DNFs. The ranking is further based on each driver's best consecutive 2-year period once the aforementioned factors are taken into account (meaning drivers who started in 2019 such as George Russell are not included). 1. Fernando Alonso (2011-2012) 2. Lewis Hamilton (2018-2019) 3. Max Verstappen (2018-2019) 4. Sebastian Vettel (2015-2016) 5. Jenson Button (2011-2012) 6. Sergio Pérez (2015-2016) 7.

Lance Stroll (2018-2019) 20. Pascal Wehrlein (2016-2017) Worth noting that, paraphrasing the author of the model, the peak performances of Hamilton and Alonso are within statistical uncertainty of being #1, meaning their rankings are basically interchangeable. Also about Vettel: "Sebastian Vettel is ranked 4th, on account of not having ever strung two extremely strong seasons together consecutively for a 2-year peak. Combining any two of his 2011, 2013, 2015, or 2017 performances would elevate him to 3rd."

​@@luuduonghy659 The model does not consider Alonso's 2011 performance to be meaningfully worse than any of his other Ferrari years, probably because the 2011 Ferrari was slower than the 2010 car relative to the Red Bull, and the lower points achieved are consistent with that decrease in car performance. 4th place (by a single point to Webber's 3rd) in the 3rd fastest car behind Red Bull and McLaren is nothing to sneeze at.

Not arguing with the ranking but more I would love to know how you sorted the HRT, Virgin, Caterham etc back matters as the revolving door of drivers made it difficult to see if one driver stood out beyond comparing to their immediate team mate. Some we're clearly dreadful while others were solid enough to earn a meh but I wouldn't know how to place them as they either finished as expected or retired from a position I expected

[@lukavujeva6584]

They did not sort anything, and neither they can. They just gather up and say ok let's do something this week to gain x amount of clicks. Then they pull the list of the drivers and re-shuffle it a bit. This is not an empirical statistic backed by science, it's just a few guys earning money on KZbin.

In one season only, yes. And due in no small part to having much better reliability than LH.

So, actually, further to my previous comment it depends what you define as “equal machinery”. Equal in terms of potential performance? Yes. Equal in terms of reliability? Absolutely not during that season.
