Now that you know our F1 driver report card for the 2024 season – which can be found right here – it’s time to discover your own ranking! After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, we asked you to rate the 24 drivers who started a Grand Prix this year with a score ranging from 1 to 10, and here are the results of your votes!
Unsurprisingly, it was Max Verstappen who obtained the best score among several hundred votes, with an average of 8.27 for the four-time world champion. If the Dutchman was not as acclaimed as in 2023, where he obtained the incredible score of 9.01 at the end of a record season, he logically remains in your opinion the best driver of the year.
Behind, it was very close between Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris for the second place, but it went to the Monegasque who obtained the average score of 8.00 with his three prestigious victories in 2024, against 7.95 for the Briton who certainly lost a few points because of the missed opportunities to play for the title this season.
For the rest of the ranking, you notably placed Pierre Gasly in 6th place with an average score of 7.31. The Frenchman finished the 2024 season with a bang and managed to lift Alpine to 6th place in the Manufacturers' championship. Esteban Ocon is 11th in your ranking with a score of 5.88, despite a premature dismissal before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
On the other hand, AUTOhebdo readers were uncompromising regarding two drivers in particular: Lance Stroll (2.89) and Sergio Pérez (2.70) who obtained the worst marks of the season among the drivers having participated in all the Grands Prix . You also gave a rating to interim drivers who only competed in part of this season's 24 Grands Prix. For you, the best interim of the year was Oliver Bearman, who scored points in two of his three Grands Prix, including six in his first race, in Jeddah with Ferrari. On the other hand, Logan Sargeant is the worst driver of the year according to you: the American, fired mid-season by Williams, obtains an abysmal score of 2.17!
