P1racenews AI automatic summary:
After each F1 race weekend in 2023, Crash.net journalist Connor McDonagh rated each driver’s performance out of 10.
After 22 races, we can now calculate the drivers’ average ratings for the 2023 season, with all four AlphaTauri drivers making the list. Nyck de Vries had the lowest rating, as he was replaced after just ten races and struggled to perform at the required level. Logan Sargeant, a rookie, had his best performances at the beginning of the season but couldn’t maintain his potential as the season progressed. Lance Stroll also had a disappointing year, with his best performances coming when he was still recovering from his wrist injury. Kevin Magnussen struggled with the unpredictable nature of the Haas VF-23, while his teammate Nico Hulkenberg thrived. Sergio Perez, despite finishing second in the drivers’ championship, had a lack of consistency and struggled to make it to Q3 consistently. Zhou Guanyu showed promise at the start of the season but struggled to maintain his form, while Valtteri Bottas had limited opportunities to shine due to Alfa Romeo’s lack of competitiveness.
