P1racenews AI automatic summary:
With the dust now well settled on the 2023 IndyCar season it’s time for our American Editor Jack Benyon to rank the performances of all 23 full-time drivers from worst to best
The 2023 IndyCar season has concluded, and The Race’s Jack Benyon has ranked the drivers based on their performances. Full-time drivers are included in the rankings, but there is a mention of standout part-time drivers as well. Robb, who came in as the Indy Lights runner-up, is ranked as one of the worst full-time drivers. Despite being behind his teammate, Benjamin Pedersen, Robb did not deliver any impressive results. Pedersen, on the other hand, had some strong moments, including a remarkable 12th place in Indianapolis 500 qualifying. While he made mistakes and lacked consistency, he performed better than expected. DeFrancesco, a driver at a top team, showed moments of brilliance but also inconsistency and mistakes. His best result was 12th place, similar to Robb’s, but he needs to step up next year to prove himself. Castroneves, who should have won an IndyCar title, struggled with unforced spins and errors, which impacted his ranking. Overall, drivers’ performances were assessed based on their results and circumstances.
