  • 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.

      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.

      @Burnout900012 Před rokem +5

      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. 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."

      @PositronCannon Před rokem

      ​@@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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    Idea for a ranking video: get every driver who contested 2 or more full seasons in F1 in the 2010’s (both season must fall inside the 2010’s) and rank each of those drivers best years within those times but have the ranking based of the results/success of that particular of choice

    Thank God Karun Chandhok was ranked so low. I always wondered how he got such a good gig as an expert commentator in the F1 telecast, despite him never amounting to much on track. This just proved how little he did. There's too much hate towards Paul di Resta, and not enough to Karun Chandhok

      Karun Chandok is a great pundit , that's why he's on TV. F1 success shouldn't matter much in TV punditry, just how well he can communicate to the audience which he does very well.

    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...
