OP - this is from a set of well regarded French motorsport journalists listing their top drivers across all categories.



Not too shabby at all.

Very strange list- e.g. Kubica above Russell? Leclerc in 24th position?

Dorianne Pin rated abouve Charles LeClerc?

Kevin Estre is far too low and Lando Norris is far too high.

The current world formula 1 champion is too high?

Something, something Max, something Piastri robbed, something, something best car by far, something conspiracy.

I guess Leclerc upset someone, but not as much as Gasly.

Not at all. He made a ton of mistakes throughout the season, including crashing into his teammate, and only won the WDC because Max couldn't control his temper in Barcelona. Piastri went to pieces halfway through the season, so I'd not have him placed so highly either.

Given that Norris scraped a WDC by the skin of his teeth and Piastri had a mid-season meltdown, I'd have both of them below Ogier, Estre and Palou.

Ogier won a championship despite only doing half the races.

Did you watch Estre's performance at Le Mans? And throughout the WEC season.

Palou did the Indy 500/championship double, which is a pretty rare feat.

There’s a lot of what iffing to pin the championship on Max’s meltdown in Barcelona

One could argue thst the only reason it went down to the wire was McLaren being stupid enough to get themselves disqualified in Vegas and Norris’ engine blowing in Zandvoort….otherwise max wouldn’t have had a sniff.

You do make some good points, which Muzzer addresses.

Ogier is a great champion, the WRC is no longer a great Championship.

I watched the whole of the WEC. If I remember correctly, Estre had teammates.

Palou did well in a regional championship.

Marc and Alex Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta are riders not drivers and Pedro should really be the 2nd rider on the list if this is based on talent and not pure results.

maybe because it was the only one that wasn't car related issue or driver error ...unless losing your st is now classed as a driver error?
