I finished the list for you:

1 Michael Schumacher

12 Michael Schumacher
13 Michael Schumacher
14 Michael Schumacher
15 Michael Schumacher
16 Michael Schumacher
17 Michael Schumacher
18 Michael Schumacher
19 Michael Schumacher
20 Michael Schumacher

I think he was being sarcastic. I hope?

I used to do that; do we know each other?

1 Raikkonen
2 Hamilton
3 Vettel
4 Alonso
5 Kubica
6 Rosberg
7 Webber
8 Massa
9 Heidfeld
10 Barrichello

Reasons...kimi on top because i think itd be stupid to judge his recent performances without taking the nogrip-us ferraris into equation
vettel,lewis above alonso because im a fan of raw pace and i believe they will further iprove in coming years.
id rate massa lower because i believe he maximized that car with his us style..i cant think of one team other than ferrari where he'd achieve that.similarly i cant think of one top team thatd jump forth and sign him if ferrari made him available right now(even if that accident hadnt happened)
out of the newcomers,id rate grosjean highly because he was pretty much there on pace with alonso during the first few weekends.

2009 drivers

1-5 Hamilton, Alonso, Räikkönen, Massa, Vettel
6-11 Kubica, Heidfeld, Rosberg, Button, Barichello, Webber
12-16 Trulli, Glock, Sutil, Fisichella, Liuzzi
17-18 Buemi, Kovalainen
19-23 Bourdais, Nakajima, Grosjean, Alguersuari, Piquet jun.
NaN Badoer

no particular orders in those "clusters".

If I had to pick a driver for my team for 2010 who I thought would bring the best out of the car and bing back the most points possible the list would be.

01 Hamilton
02 Alonso
03 Raikkonen
04 Vettel
05 Massa
06 Webber
07 Barrichello
08 Heidfeld
09 Button
10 Kubica
11 Glock
12 Rosberg
13 Kovalainen
14 Sutil
15 Fisichella
16 Trulli
17 Liuzzi
18 Alguersauri
19 Beumi
20 Grosjean
21 Nakajima
22 Kobayashi

Level 1: Hamilton

Level 2: Alonso, Massa, Vettel, Button, Raikkonen, Rosberg, Kubica, Webber, Sutil

Level 3: Trulli, Barrichello, Fisichella, Heidfeld, Grosjean, Buemi, Kovalainen, Liuzzi

Level 4: Alguersauri, Nakajima, Kobayashi

Good template.
I think..

10 Heidfeld
9 Button
= 6 Rosberg
= 6 Webber
= 6 Kubica
=2 Vettel
=2 Massa
=2 Raikkonen
=2 Alonso
1. Hamilton

Hamilton was impressive in his debut year and I think he is even better now. But t here is so little between them that if Hamilton (1) and Button (10) would go head to head 10 races in equal cars, the result would be maybe 7-3 in Hamiltons favor.

Alonso on the same level as a bunch of zero race and wc winners?

2wc's and 21 wins dont go very these days do they.

oooopssy

21 wins?

Level 1.

Massa, Raikkonen, Alonso, Vettel, Kubica, Rosberg (These are the ultimate drivers in F1, proffesional, quick, few mistakes)

Level 2.

Webber, Heidfeld, Hamilton, Button, Barrichello, (These are the guys who on their day can match the top guys but make too many mistakes)

Level 3.

Trulli, Fisichella, Liuzzi, Sutil, Glock (The average guys, who sometimes make the jump to level 2 but not often enough)

Level 4.

Buemi, Kovalainen, Grosjean (Need to improve) (a lot)

Level 5.

Alguesuari, Nakajima (No hopers)

Level Badoer.

Badoer (Badoers)

Averaging out the votes Hamilton seems to get the most votes. Button clearly isn't rated amongst the best

interesting

You probably have 3 of the most consistent drivers there and you're saying they make to many mistakes?

Yes.

The can't-think-how-someone-could-ever-whine-about-it ranking
1. Alonso
2. Raikkonen
2= Hamilton
4. Vettel
5. Kubica
6. Rosberg

Feel free to whine about the rest:

7. Button
8. Heidfeld
9. Barrichello
10. Webber
11. Trulli
12. Fisichella
13. Sutil
14. Glock
15. Luizzi
16. Kovalainen

Feel free to whine about these but I think no one really cares anyway:

17. Buemi
18. Grosjean
19. Alguesuari
20. Nakajima

Oh, thanks, but honestly, Schumacher is so good that even his clones could not hope to be on par, considering that he drove his Ferrari faster than its shadow.

I think you'r right. But I would like to see your list.

I have seen the same quote in PF1

I'd say that RB does make way too many mistakes. Especially at the beginning of the seasons.
At the rate the things are progressing. Button makes the biggest mistake by thinking that a series of 8s will win him the championship.

In reverse order:

20: Mark Webber
19: Sebastian Vettel
18: Jarno Trulli
17: Adrian Sutil
16: Nico Rosberg
15: Kimi Raikkonen
14: Kazuki Nakajima
13: Vitantonio Liuzzi
12: Robert Kubica
11: Heikki Kovalainen
10: Nick Heidfeld
09: Lewis Hamilton
08: Romain Grosjean
07: Timo Glock
06: Giancarlo Fisichella
05: Jenson Button
04: Sebastien Buemi
03: Rubens Barrichello
02: Fernando Alonso
01: Jaime Alguersuari



Honourable mention goes to Felipe Massa, dishonourable mention to Nelson Piquet Jnr

corrected that ;)

it's in reverse alphabetical order, nothing random.

1- Alonso
2- Barrichello
3- Massa
4- Vettel
5- Raikkonen
6- Button
7- Hamilton
8- Kubica
9- Webber
10- Trulli
11-Glock
12-Rosberg
13-Heidfeld
14-Button
15-Kovalainen
16-Sutil
17-Liuzzi
18-Alguersuari
19-Buemi
20-Bourdais
21-Grosjean
22-Piquet
23- The awful Nakajima


In 2009 season:
1- Barrichello
2- Button
3- Vettel
4- Alonso
5- Hamilton
6- Trulli
7- Glock
8- Raikkonen
9- Rosberg
10-Heidfeld
11-Kubica

17-Alguersuari
18-Bourdais
19-Piquet
20-Grosjean
21-Buemi
22-Liuzzi
23-The awful Nakajima

In the order I like them:

There are masters – i. e. world champions.

1 Räikkönen
2 Hamilton
3 Alonso

Then there are men – i. e. race winners

4 Kubica
5 Trulli
6 Kovalainen
7 Webber
8 Vettel
9 Button
10 Barrichello
11 Fisichella

And there are boys, still having to prove themselves

12 Glock
13 Rosberg
14 Sutil
15 Liuzzi
16 Nakajima
17 Heidfeld
18 Buemi
19 Grosjean
20 Alguersuari

ah ok, my bad. that explains a lot

I rather like this list.

ask actual F1 Teams' bosses.

Relax.. Don't take everything so seriously. Remember to smile once in a while

i like how you downplay your stupid comment..

There is King Fernando and the other 19.

20. Alguesari
19. Grosjean
18. Nakajima
17. Buemi

16. Luizzi (He did well in Monza for driving a car hes not been in in forever)
15. Trulli (Trulli train lol)
14. Glock (He shows good race pace but his qualifying is atrocious)
13. Webber (Mediocre)
12. Sutil (Shows good speed in the Force India lately)
11. Barrichelo (I don't know what to say really, hes an OK driver)
10. Kovalainen (Sometimes hes scared to race but he is a great qualifier)

9. Button (Decent when the car is amazing, otherwise mediocre to bad)
8. Rosberg (A blend of Heidfeld and Alonso, I want to see how he does next year with a decent teammate)
7. Heidfeld (Knows how to bring home the points whenever possible)
6. Vettel (Very fast, but too many mistakes)
5. Raikkonen (Wildly inconsistent)
4. Massa (Still makes occasional silly mistakes but is very quick when the car is good)
3. Kubica (Not as quick as 1 & 2 but very consistent)

2. Alonso (Very Consistent, fast, doesn't make mistakes)
1. Hamilton (Simply the best right now)

not sure about 1-18

19. NP jr (he brought some excitement for a whole 2 weeks )
20. Nakajima

20 Romain Grosjean
19 Jamie Alguesari
18 Kazuki Nakajima
17 Sebastien Buemi
--
16 Mark Webber
15 Giancarlo Fisichella
14 Jarno Trulli
13 Adrian Sutil
12 Nick Heidfeld
11 Timo Glock

10 Heikki Kovalainen
09 Vitantonio Liuzzi

07 Nick Heidfeld
06 Robert Kubica
05 Rubens Barrichello

04 Felipe Massa
03 Lewis Hamilton
02 Kimi Raikkonen
01 Fernando Alonso.

I do include the 20 drivers the teams would have fielded in Brazil, had everybody been fit for fight:

20, Alguersuari
19, Nakajima
18, Liuzzi
17, Buemi
16, Grosjean
15, Sutil
14, Kovalainen
13, Glock
12, Trulli
11, Webber
10, Heidfeld
9, Barrichello
8, Kubica
7, Button
6, Rosberg
5, Vettel
4, Räikkönen
3, Massa
2, Hamilton
1, Alonso

For me it goes something like this...

These guys have something special
Alonso, Hamilton

Show signs of being in tier 1 but aren't quite
Vettel, Raikkonen, Massa

Solid, Fast and Dependable
Webber, Heidfeld, Rosberg, Kubica, Sutil, Fisichella, Button, Barrichelo

Good but missing something
Buemi, Liuzzi, Trulli, Alguersauri, Glock, Kovalainen, Grosjean, Piquet, Bourdais

Shouldn't be in F1
Nakajima, Badoer

New guys are given a free ride into tier 4 even if they have performed badly, Trulli just misses out on the tier above due to his inconsistency during races. As much as I like many of the drivers in tier 3 they just haven't shown the flashes of brilliance that the guys above them have. Button and Barrichelo are un-splittable because Ross Brawn says so and my confidence in him as a team boss is way greater then any of the positions in this list!

What did you drink?

More importantly where can I buy some?

It's reverse alphabetical, dude.

I guess poor Seb got fired.

I knew I was missing someone, I always mess up these sorts of threads. Chuck Vettel in between Kubica and Heidfeld, my apologies. And while on the subject, I think Bouardais is a very talented driver and doesn't deserve half the shit he gets.

I doubt I will do that (I mean chuck Seb). Ask evo.x for confirmation.

This years World Champion does not get ranked very high on this BB. Wonder if he will recover next year? Funny in a way, I think that people ranked him higher last year, in general, then they do now.

1

That's a pretty good evaluation in my opinion.

Last year people were defending Button because people were putting him down at the bottom of their lists. He's a very good driver but so are more then half the grid. I wouldn't say he has ever shown signs of brilliance but he's the match of drivers like Webber and Kubica who would both be worthy champions.
