Unless I'm missing something if Max got 25 from all team principals it's impossible for Lando to have got 178, as if he was ranked second by all he would have scored 180, and if a single team principal scored him third it would have taken him down to 177.

Fastest lap points maybe?

Decent list, though I'd swap Norris and Leclerc, and drop Piastri below Sainz and Russell.

The fix is in.

That was my first thought as well.

 

The following one is that the voting is just a fraud and a PR stunt, they just pretend it's real but the actual voting has never taken place and someone from FOM just made up the numbers.

Alonso went from P2 of last year to P9 this year and his performance relative to Stroll (his only constant benchmark) was pretty much exactly the same.

I'm not even sure how Piastri can be rated above Sainz.

 

It seems to me that most simply copy-pasted the WDC standings.

There's never been much depth to these results.

 

Drivers in good cars have always had easier time (that's why you see Alonso drop 7 places from 2023 to 2024). And almost every year there's one inexperienced driver who gets overrated based on the fact that his good results are a novelty. This year it's Piastri.

 

Rosberg not making it into top10 in 2009 is when I stopped taking it seriously.

Alonso 9th!?

 

Zilly team bosses!

I agree he is not in top 10.

I think people hugely overrated team principals' opinions.

 

My dad was an accomplished doctor and his view was that most medical departments were kindergartens. I don't think F1 team principals are any more mature than doctors - they're creatures of fashion and if you find yourself unfashionable you're in trouble (e.g. Nick Heidfeld). I remember about twenty years ago they all started saying 'mega'.

For sure.

Happy for Max

Team bosses top ten is always quite daft. Where in theory it should be more accurate than the media/fan lists, I always agree with them more.

I don't think I've ever seen a driver lose their qualifying team mate team battle as badly as Piastri and still have a season rated so highly. Especially considering he rarely kept up with Norris during the races either. 

 

Alonso did had a bit of a slump from Imola to Austria where his form just fell off a cliff (bar Canada). Still the comfortably the best of the midfield.
