Every F1 driver from 2010-2019 ranked from worst to best
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Who were the best, the worst and the in-between performers among Formula 1 drivers of the 2010s? Well, you’re about to find out thanks to our ranking of every - single - driver who raced in F1 from 2010-2019.
This is not a simple ranking of the best to worst based on The Race’s evaluation of their ability, as that would produce a very different order. Instead, it also takes into account their success, longevity, consistency, adaptability, their involvement in epic F1 moments of the decade and countless other factors.
It’s also important to note that this ranking considers each driver's achievements exclusively in the 198 F1 races held from 2010 to 2019. Achievements before 2010 or after 2019 - no matter how illustrious - are excluded.
A total of 66 drivers raced in F1 during this period, so here’s our ranking in reverse order.

Just reading the title, I can tell this video isn’t going to be controversial at all…
The race has some real stones to release this one. Love how they stopped at 2019 and not 2022, cause they know they amount of shit a certain fanbase/cult will give them if the guys wasn't first.
It's not. Why would it be controversial?
(Note the sarcasm please) 😂
@@bobbyde_pressed4023 I mean make sense they stopped at 2019, that's the end of the decade lol
lol another opportunity for TheRace to praise and love ham without acknowledging the fact that since 2014 it was guaranteed wins for merc with engines that broke the sport and allowed the only championship contenders be hamilton and rosberg for 4 years and rosberg still beat hamilton to the crown altho it was just once. still vettel drove his redbull to wins, there where no “redbull is destroying the sport” anymore cause they used to accuse vettel of being in a dominant car blabla when lit 4 teams were in contention for championship and after 2014 those people got a taste of what sport destruction really is. and still they call hamilton a new schumacher. therace will never be true f1 fans, just preachers of their on view and not of the people
@@bobbyde_pressed4023 To be fair if they did it from 2010 to 2022 I don't think anyone would care as he'd still be in first place, no? Only difference is then it wouldn't be best drivers of the decade...
65 drivers in 10 years is a pretty fascinating number tbh
The backmarker teams were a musical chair of drivers
In the 1994 season we had 46 drivers compete in a race lol
65 drivers in 10 years isnt actually too bad
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 2020 to 2029 we may see 100.
@@pavise6333 those backmarkers like HRT and Lotus F1?
@@purwantiallan5089 I would say less than that tbh
I would be surprised if the number gets past 75 due to:
Only 10 teams compared to 11/12 teams beforehand in the 2010s
Salary cap means teams will be less dependent on pay drivers meaning more stable team partnerships.
Also, teams seem less bloodthirsty than they were a decade ago they're willing to get younger drivers and give them a couple of years still
12:26 “before losing his seat for genealogical reasons” fucking SAVAGE
I still remember that word for being ULTRA SAVAGE.

(Daddy's Cash intensifies...)
Emotional damage
Went right to the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one that thought this exact thing. 🤣🤣🤣
Edd must have been in heaven bringing up all these backmarkers. 😅
Yep. Even also included Yuu Takasaki. Yuu Takasaki ever drove for Marussia in 2014 alongside Jules Bianchi.
Imagine Scott when they do 1990s F1 drivers/ Teams
heck I'd forgotten about will Stevens and Jerome D'Ambrosio !
Those three backmarker teams were good at giving exposure to drivers.
@@ChaosKingable And probably their best part was giving daniel ricciardo a seat.
My takeaway from this video is that we need more teams again, the early 2010s were a blast when it comes to drivers swapping in and out every other race.
Add also 1990s drivers plz.
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.
we don't really need more teams in F1, we need teams that are willing to invest and perform... unlike Haas, Renault and Sauber.
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.....
Nah we don’t, they added jack shit
Regardless of whether or not I agree with all the rankings, this was a fascinating and concise breakdown of all the drivers from the 2010s. Would love to see more videos like this, particularly of drivers from the 2000s!
Add also 1970s and 1980s on this list.
The top would be easy for the 2000s, we’d put Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Mika Hakkinen, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa, Robert Kubica,….
Peter Brook is a Chanel that has made a lot of these breakdowns, ranking drivers , cars and much more , check him out!
I found myself going "he's too low" a few times, and then realising who was infront of them, and going "fair enough"...
Never expected lord pastor to be higher then Michael Schumacher
So many people complain about Edd's rankings, looks like he is trolling the trolls B-)
Had better results!
I mean; well deserved for the 2010s I guess??
Maldonado won a race in 2010s that's why
9:17 forgot to mention Nasr's drive to 9th in Interlagos probably saved Sauber from going bankruptcy. Those 2 points meant Sauber overtook Manor for 10th in the WCC, meaning a lot more in $$$ revenue. It's really unfortunate that he couldn't get a seat for the 2017 season...
It also doomed Manor as a team in F1 as a result unfortunately
And originally Nasr was going to drive in Manor in 2017, but they went bankrupt because of losing 10th place
@@snobey wait so you're telling me that 1) at the back of the grid, the team surviving to next year depended on being 10th in WCC and 2) by saving Sauber with an excellent drive into the points Nasr also doomed the team he was going to drive for in the following season and with it, his own seat in F1. is that right?

Luna, hope 2020 to 2029 drivers from best to worst may have 110+.
We already have 32 for this decade and it’s only been 3 seasons.
@@Jedib87 The high numbers I think are less impressive towards the start of a decade because you're guaranteed at least 20 after just the first season.
@@IDeltic ok but 32-20=12 in 2 seasons and 6 more per season means 20+54=74, so if we keep this pace we'd end this decade with more drivers having participated in F1 than in last decade by 8 of them
@@SharkJ002 Yeah, but we are already dropping that average next season, when we will have a maximum of four new drivers.
Hamilton started every race of the 2010s. That's an incredible stat.
Seb as well.
@@soundscape26 nah. he has 197 of the total 198. I can't remember exactly which race he missed but he did get a DNS somewhere
2016 Bahrain. He had engine failure on the warmup lap. So got a DNS
@@fay-yaazahmed833 Yeah, my bad. He missed Bahrain 2016.
Not just the 2010s, his whole career
I like how there is Kubica and Leclerc together, 2 drivers who could've won WDCs if their teams listened. Hope for Leclerc to fight for the championship next year!
For Robert maybe but for Leclerc. It's not like he didn't make mistakes this year while Max seems to be unbeatable.
@@markusplotz2259 In 2008 Lewis was pretty good too, maybe not as dominant as Max is this year, but he and Massa were very good at that time. Robert did make mistakes even though he was a very consistant driver, if he didn't make mistakes he would've been fighting for he championship in Brazil. It's just if BMW and this year Ferrari didn't make mistakes like stopping to upgrade the car or terrible strategy, they would fight for the championships no matter their mistakes.
@@garbage2882 About mistakes.
Hamilton:
-crashed 2 times into Alonso in Bahrain
-he overtook Vettel outside the track and got drive through penalty in France
-crashed into barrier in Monaco but safety car saved him and he won that race, also in that race he had slow puncture in the end
-he got drive through penalty for too late braking in turn 1 in Japan
-he got penalty in Spa for cutting the corner
-he crashed into Raikkonen in Canada.
I wouldn't call that pretty good. Just compare this to Verstappen this year.
Massa:
-many spins in Silverstone
-DNF by his mistake in Malaysia while leading the race
-crashed into Hamilton in Japan and got drive through penalty
Kubica:
-spun into gravel in Silverstone
it's just unbelievable, only wc in front of him and future wc.
The more amazing is ,he mostly got that high in ranking for that season in renault.
Despite crash gate scandal, new management, lack of sponsors and low budget. He outperformed that Renault then brought some good development to 2011 car. His Monaco quali is satisfying and one of the best. Could be nice if they mentioned ,he got preliminary talks with Ferrari to partner Alonso in 2012.
@@fireinthenight9028 yeah, Kubica was great in 2010 in that Renault, splitting these RBs in Monaco, and if I'm not wrong then it wasn't just talks, he was supposed to drive in 2012 for Ferrari, sadly didn't get there
Very pleasant to see Bobby K apprieciated both for his beastly 2010 season and his remarkable return to the sport. Some kids simply don't remember how good he was and why there was such a hype around his return. Hype that, for various reasons, remained without a proper follow up, unfortunately.
What a luck for Latifi, that he started his F1 career in the 2020s. He would be definitely last place.
Yep. Last of all 400.
I still rate him higher than 20% of these guys. Better even than Gutierrez
nah, there were worse drivers. okay, one.
Yeah the goatifi would’ve beat Hamilton
@@RickZanardi exactly. I think Latifi is having a Ricciardo type slump. According to Capito the social media messages got to him too hard after last year.
He was never great, but last year he had an pretty good season. Funnily enough, while everyone was paying attention to Mazepin’s fastest lap in Spa he made up two positions to score points 😂
Seriously he was racking up the 11th positions and knocking on doors of points a handful of times.
I don’t think he should be racing next year, but he has nothing to be embarrassed about overall his F1 career.

This video should've been 10 minutes longer, at least. More detail for each selection and definitely take more time in the top 10/15 drivers. You guys are some of the best writers and jorno's for this big, fast circus we all love, so please indulge, not only for yourselves, but for us too! Can't wait for the next list
I was one of those who criticised Daniel alot this year, and now that the time is closing in, I wish he comes back and gets another chance
He’s had 11 years; ppl are too nice
Second highest points scorer ever to not win a Championship (albeit on new points system), top 10 for total points and top 10 for most podiums without a Championship. I'm Australian so I'm biased, but I'd love to see him get one more year, 2 Australians on the grid would be so good (although I can't imagine they're gonna be friendly lmao)
I'm a big fan of Ricciardo, but he has been very underwhelming this year. I really hope he gets a seat at a team where he can deal with the car and the pressure a bit better, I'd love to see some more of the honey badger from the 2010s
I think he should be above Webber, smashed Vettel in their first year together and has the same amount of wins in that red bull with Webber in a much slower car
@@snidgem6193 above weber in the list? Simply delusional ric fans, he is lucky this last 2 seasons don't count, Oh god, he needs to start been called the Australian tractor
Here for the grown up level headed debate in the comments.
I think some F1 fans like the sport more so they can whine about supposed bias against their favored teams and drivers than they do because they like watching cars race.
I was watching highlights from 2010 last night, and wow I miss how nimble and quick the cars looked compared to now
2010-2013 was actually a really good era, even if Vettel did dominate a lot of it. Some really good track action in those years.
That Vettel image from the 2018 German GP is haunting 😭😭😭.
...Then there was Germany 2019.

@@TestarossaF110 yep. Quite far behind sometimes too.
@@piotrstefanski8831 Ayumu Uehara and Setsuna Yuki both ranked higher than Adrian Sutil and Felipe Massa.
I think there's something to be said (but it's impossible considering most teams don't talk about it at all) for how much a driver influenced / improved the car itself. Meaning I genuinely grant some credit to Schumacher / Rosberg / Hamilton for making the Mercedes as quick as it was. Not as much credit as their drives themselves of course, but it's worth something for sure.
I think that was probably why Schumacher was so high tbf, even as a Ferrari fan who loves him, I wouldn't put him that high unless you're considering the engineering improvement that he brought
I dare to say, without Schumacher Mercedes wouldn´t be so easly champion. He settled the scructure of a WC team as he did with Ferrari.
I´d love to see a ranking for Races to rewatch, maybe split up into the centuries.
I remember u ranking some races in the v10 podcast, but would love to see it as a video to find more easily
"If you skipped to the end to check out number 1". I think we all knew who the top 5 would be, its the rest of the list that was interesting.
top 8? Only thing I would change there is putting Ricciardo and Verstappen in front of Webber.
@@xquahd Webber ran some fine seasons and Ed tried to avoid the recency bias as much as he could. Overall I don't think there's much splitting those 3 apart... you have to rank them but the differences are minimal.
No 1 was very odd .
Alonso deserves to be there
Stats on Overpowered machinery are the criteria for greatness ... , For some English idiotss
@@soundscape26 Webber had much better cars than Max and Daniel yet has fewer wins than Max. Max should be in front of both Daniel and Mark as he won more races than Mark and was the reason Daniel left Red Bull because he couldn't beat Max. Seems strange that Max would be lower than Daniel when beating him in equal machinery over their entire Red Bull stints.

Fun fact: Nasr was the only driver who save a team of bankruptcy, the Sauber
And Kimi was the only one to broke a team (Lotus) for being too good
yes, after they overtook the manor in the constructors in interlagos i think.

Because British
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. Daniel Ricciardo (2016-2017)
8. Nico Hülkenberg (2017-2018)
9. Charles Leclerc (2018-2019)
10. Carlos Sainz (2018-2019)
11. Nico Rosberg (2013-2014)
12. Stoffel Vandoorne (2017-2018)
13. Kimi Raikkonen (2012-2013)
14. Esteban Ocon (2017-2018)
15. Kevin Magnussen (2018-2019)
16. Valtteri Bottas (2016-2017)
17. Romain Grosjean (2016-2017)
18. Michael Schumacher (2011-2012)
19. 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."
@Ye He is correct in 11th because Rosberg 2014 season wasn't strong enough
Also Alonso would be around 5th-10th. His 2011 season was just bad
@@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.
@@PositronCannon 2013 he was good
2014 was consider to be good because Ferrari was ***
Shame what happened to Ricciardo. Barring Webber, he's the highest ranked driver here without a championship (also the only one who's never had contending machinery). C'est la vie.
1. Drive to Survive
2. F1 meme culture/gaming
3. same ten teams on the grid since 2017
4. driver academies
I believe these are all contributing factors to why it seems like merely being on an F1 grid does more to raise your profile at the end of this era than it did at the beginning. Every driver since 2019 has been the subject of memes, whereas I'm certain nobody has ever memed Charles Pic.
This was great! Nice to see all of the less well-known names on here.

Alonso: Karma
That guy in 4th place seems familiar. Isn't he the one who beat 7 time world champion Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery?
So where should he be ranked then? 2nd instead of Vettel?
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.
Great video
Damn, 66 drivers during that decade. Obviously it helped that there were three new teams that themselves (along with two or three of the regular ones) were revolving doors at times, but its just nutty to know that as someone who watched all of those previous seasons that I watched that many drivers over those seasons. I can't see that happening at all this decade with how things are at the moment.
I would have loved if this was more of a series, with a bit more detail. Especially for the ones all the way in the bottom and the top it would be nice to have a bit more of a story about them
Very well done, I hardly remember some of the early guys who came & went so quickly.
That's some really nice research and information. Please do it for other decades as well...I am very keen on the 00s as well as the 90s!

I would pay good money for a 90s version of this rundown.
They did a great job of picking probably the least controversial decade for this! If it's popular then they'll have to make more- the 90s may be the toughest list to write but the 00s would perhaps give some of the best comments wars since it's peak Kimi vs Alonso fighting for that 2nd spot behind Schumi!
@@ApothecaryTerry not to mention Häkkinen who stuck it to Schumi even in his 2 years of that decade. Definitely would love to see the 2000’s!
The Race : "we won't consider anything that didn't happen between 2010-2019"
Also the Race : "Albon had an amazing 2019 season that he failed to live up to in 2020"
to be fair though he probably didn't account for it in the ranking and just added it as a side fact like he did with max verstappen and his title charge that also came after 2019.

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
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 RUclips.

I like Alonso but Nico Rosberg should be on ahead considering that he was consistent against both Schumacher and Hamilton; not easy teammates. Alonso only had an outstanding 2012 season and he didn’t win the championship anyways.
?
The Ferrari was consistently 3rd fastest through the Vettel years by between seven tenths (2010) and 1.3sec (2013). Massa may have been an easy teammate but Alonso should've won 2010 and 2012 if not for the Red Bull's late-season dominance. Also came P2 in the WDC in 2013 and outperformed the 2014 car. Then... there's 42-0'ing Vandoorne in qualifying. Even Schumi couldn't do that.
Rosberg was good, but he couldn't compete nearly at the same level during the Vettel years in a car that wasn't much worse.
So many different drivers in the early 2010s. I've only been watching for a few years now and am pretty committed but lot of history to catch up on. I just started watching the 2007 season and will work my way up . Need to see the Kimi win
Watch like 2002 - 2006 as well. Michael might have dominated a lot of it but those cars were amazing - in my opinion at least.
Damn, there were so many ugly cars in the early 2010s. Some of the regs/loopholes in the regs just created the most hideous compromises
F1 cars stopped being attractive around the mid-2000's, but 2011-2014 was the absolute low point. First we had to endure the tea tray noses, then they started sticking sex toys on the front.

Agree with everything but one thing. I‘d switch Alonso and Rosberg with Rosberg more than double the number of wins and a championship, while always facing Lewis as Teammate. Alonso is a driving Genius but Rosberg did show what he has to offer
Great idea, pls keep doing these rankings
14:16 I was not mentally prepared to see Pastor Baldonado
A lot of these drivers ended up moving to Formula E. I guess it makes sense, the cars are somewhat similar, but it's amazing just how many of the Formula E drivers were also Formula One drivers at some point
As someone who loves the WEC more than F1 I have to say I'm kinda happy that a lot of those drivers ended up in prototypes up at Le Mans.
It's kinda sad that Nyck de Vries will probably go the opposite way. Would've loved to see him race the GR020 next year...
I agree. Good ranking!
Considering what Alonso did in inferior machinery, he is no less than Lewis Hamilton and definitely ahead of Vettel. If not better beacuse he also did what Michael Schumacher couldnt, which coming back from retirement and driving at his bloody best.
Now people would say Lewis is a 7 time champ. But he got beaten by JB, Nico in 2016 and currently Russell in 2022. He is a phenomenol driver but put under pressure, he will crack (Unlike Max)
Vettel was disgustingly dominant in his peak years, the likes of which we've never seen. And had stellar campaigns overachieving in 2015 and 17 against the force that was Mercedes.
@@areebsiddiqui758 and yet alonso still almost won I'm 2012 when even McLaren was arguably a better car..and I'm a vettel fan
@@titancheat That was a great season from him. Only because of the Renault engine being awful and unreliable was he ever close but still a great season. Not enough to move him ahead of Vettel though. Stats speak for themselves. Vettel's 2011 and 13 seasons are two of the most impressive in F1 history and he completed one of the great comebacks in 2010. Was the only person who came even remotely close to challenging Merc dominance in the latter half of the decade.
By your logic Daniel is a better driver than Max as he beat him in every category during their time at Redbull even though Daniel had way more retirments in RedBull. Button and Hamilton tally in McLaren is extremely close especially when you consider the reliability DNFs of 2012 and team blunders without those Hamilton wins that comparison. Without the reliability DNF in Malaysia 2016, Nico wont have won in 2016. George might will beat him this year but since you don't factor in all variables, you can have that one. Stop spewing nonsense, give respect and give drivers their dues. You don't have to hate Lewis to like Max.
Max got beaten by Daniel and has had moments of cracking under pressure they are both human also there is context to how his teammates beat him but still beat him nonetheless JB beat him in 2011 where he had his worst season imo. 2016 is a question of reliability and this year is due to bad luck imo
IS THAT NICO ROSBERG, THE GUY WHO BEAT LEWIS HAMILTON IN 2016 IN EQUAL MACHINERY?
Forgot to clarify "SEVEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION LEWIS HAMILTON" jaja
@@UnremarkableKevin oh wow, that actually makes Nico Rosberg look better since he beat Lewis Hamilton to win 2016 WDC in equal machinery!
I feel so bad for Roberto merhi. He got grosjeaned AKA sent back to GP2/F2 after being in F1 for a little bit. He legit even did a few races this season as a sub driver.
This looks like a banger
There's no way you managed to rank di Resta higher than Sutil. Sure, he beat Sutil in 2013. But then again Sutil hadn't been driving in 2012 and the car was mostly built for di Resta as a result
Ayumu Uehara and Setsuna Yuki both ranked higher than di Resta and Sutil.
@@purwantiallan5089 ???
Can someone please explain the logic behind putting someone with 8 wins out of 105 starts is ranked below someone who has 7 wins out of 171 starts? How on earth is Max only 8th in this list. He should have been 7th, and probably 5th (not sure Weber and Button deserve to be higher than Verstappen on this list)
2017
The race’s Bias against max is the only reason i can muster up considering the age gap on those drivers you listed as well as them having less wins with more starts. id also like to hear any logical reason as to why they did this
Button deserved to be above Verstappen for the 2010's, but Ricciardo and Webber above him is quite harsh. But it's still not as bad as Maldonardo up in 17th and Bianchi down in the 30's.
@paper plane Webber was Vettel's Bottas. Verstappen also never really had the fastest car until 2021, yet still won more races than Webber within the 2010's.
@paper plane Max won 8 races, Webber 7. Despite Webber was driving 4 seasons in championships car.
I'd say that list is pretty spot on. Let's see what changes this weekend in the US!
Gi-Aydo van der Garde is the most creatively wrong way to pronounce that name I've heard so far
This list feels too controlled by the cars, at least amongst the backmarkers, I was hoping for a more intelligent teasing out of driver talent independent of their teams. Several of the drivers behind Brendon Hartley, for instance, really should be ahead of him, even if they were in inferior cars. It does get more sensible as it gets near the front, except Maldonado who is probably about 10 positions too high. I would put him behind Adrian Sutil, ahead of JEV in 27th.
I would put Maldonado ahead of Sutil. Sutil failed to beat Gutierrez in 2014
@@chamindujanith6337 Alright so that would still put Maldonado 26th instead of 17th. Though personally I saw Sutil as a much more consistent and capable driver, I guess it depends how much you weight that one Pastor win. An impressive feat for sure but for me it doesn't erase the rest of his F1 career that was so inconsistent.
Verstappen behind Ricciardo, please stop 😂😭😭
@Blender Boy
It's for 2010-2019. And Max was making many mistakes until Canada 2018.
More
Of these videos please
Great video. Can we have similar for previous decades please?
I like the list, although I would personally swap max and danny, and while I agree with Nico being #4, I wish there was a bit more emphasis put on the fact that he beat Lewis in equal machinery, I think that on its own is worth 3 WDC lol.
To add , i would like to see
Alonso as No 1 .
Lewis or Max at number 2/3 .
Some idiots only consider stats as the criteria for Greatness.
Everytime these Media 'Pundits' are proving that they are ENGLISH 🤣
@@ananthu8534 it’s only 2010-2019 so Fernando WDC don’t count
@@ananthu8534 Well, if not stats then what else? There's no other way to properly compare drivers tbh, you'll just open yourself up to more potential criticism.
The fact Maldonado had a website asking whether he had crashed that day must put him in the 40s or 30s. Grossly too high in this list
Put him 47th.
Cap
Leaving Formula 1 for Formula E might have been the best choice for Stoffel Vandoorne. Now, he's a Formula E world champion and won against everyone else in equal machinery
It was kinda fun to remember some of these names. Some i haven't heard in years
would love to see video of best team bosses of all time
Yep. F1 team bosses know very well about showing them who's the real boss.
1. Enzo Ferrari
2. Jack Brabham
3. Bernie Ecclestone
4. Frank Williams
5. Ron Dennis
6. Toto Wolff
7. Christian Horner
Gigakubica needs another chance in F1 with a drivealbe car 🙏
PUT GIGAKUBICA INTO RENAULT!
He has had his shot. After his crash he just isn't physically fit enough for f1.
Kubica will turn 38 soon and he's clearly past his prime... with so many quality youngsters ready to jump into a car, it would be hard to justify any team to pick him.
@@JPZ350 ok, but last season with only 1 full practice session he finished P15 at Dutch GP and later drove at Monza but got unlucky with Yuki hitting him :/ He proved though that he is good when given enough time to get used to the car.
Plz stop
Absolutely spot on in my opinion👍
Well done for coming up with a ranking for all those poor HRT, Virgin, Lotus and Caterham back-markers. I can barely remember who they all were, let alone how well they did relative to each other.
The Race should rank 1980s drivers. Definitely won't start a war with the top spot on that one.
The top driver honestly should be Prost in that timeframe but it would be a very controversial video to make
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 I agree
Daniel above Max feels weird tbh
Especially when you consider that Max had more wins in fewer races, and that Daniel scurried of to Renault as he couldn’t beat Max
Seeing Kimi in the first shot - I’m satisfied 😎
I'm surprised to see this channel do a ranking video
“…. before he (Ocon) lost his seat to Lance Stroll, for genealogical reasons.” 😂👌🏻
Don't know how Webber is ahead of Verstappen. When Verstappen has more race victories despite always having a car that was far inferior to Mercedes (and sometimes Ferrari). Whereas Webber had the fastest car on the grid and was always outdone by his team mate.
verstappen got comfortably beat by daniel riccardo during 2016 and 2017.Moreover, he was known for his aggressive and poor wheel to wheel racing which was complained by the whole field especially seb and kimi during 2017 SPA and mexico (where seb put the middle finger at him)
you would know why if you listened to the classifying criteria at the start.
Please do driver ranking consisting of their valuation (to the team) and their ability, their awareness on the track and how they performed against their teammates in general, and be aware of their machinery, and how much is their teammate away from them. I know it's very complex, but with some research (points and DNFs included machinery or driver fault - it matters) you can... and try to be objective :P
It would be interesting to see who did more between Button, Rosberg, Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel...
I actually do 100% agree with all rankings. There is not one I’d swap.
Bravo
