Singapore Grand Prix winner Lando Norris was absolutely untouchable. But he doesn’t top Edd Straw’s ranking of the F1 drivers’ performances around Marina Bay
Singapore Grand Prix winner Lando Norris was dominant throughout the weekend, but according to Edd Straw’s driver rankings, he wasn’t considered the top performer. The rankings are based on various criteria like pace, racecraft, consistency, and minimizing mistakes. Qualifying is seen as the foundation for success in the race, and the rankings reflect each driver’s performance on a specific weekend, not their overall qualities. Max Verstappen showcased solid performance, benefiting from Ferrari’s issues, and executed a flawless race to finish second. Fernando Alonso impressed with his qualifying and midfield battle skills in Singapore, displaying a top-notch performance. Despite some mistakes, Norris showed control and speed, leading to his victory in Singapore but missed out on the top spot due to errors, emphasizing the importance of delivering a mistake-free weekend. Nico Hulkenberg performed well but was let down by Haas’s race strategy, which affected his final result despite driving excellently.
