Our driver ratings always provide plenty of discussion (or arguments), and it's no different in 2024...
PlanetF1.com’s driver ratings are a key element of our post-race coverage, and whether you agree or not with our scores we are keeping track of each driver’s average rating in F1 2024.
As a result, this is forming our ‘power rankings’ for the season as a whole, so a good race for any driver can push them up and a bad race can push them down. Come season’s end, we’ll have a full table for you to look through – and it aims to reflect driver performance in their cars rather than the outright World Championship order.First, a bit of housekeeping.
We’ll just be looking at full-time drivers to avoid skewing the ratings, so with apologies to Oliver Bearman after his sterling 9 in Saudi Arabia and 8.5 in Baku, he’ll not be counted towards the overall average unless he stays in the Haas seat full-time – he would have appeared at the very top of the rankings, though, so he can take that nonetheless!
We will be updating these rankings as the year progresses, with our scores reflective of the averages in our driver ratings all season.Having threatened Max Verstappen for a long time in our power rankings, Norris has finally overhauled him to go top for the season so far. He’d much rather be top of the Drivers’ standings, of course, but this is one win at least.
After an impressive debut in Austin after replacing Daniel Ricciardo, it’s up to him to maintain this performance level for the rest of F1 2024.Gasly took a well-earned point in Mexico City, with Alpine looking to get as much as they can out of a difficult year.Alonso looks to be getting all he can from his Aston Martin at present, though the edge of the points appears to be the car’s ceiling.
