Freelance Formula 1 journalist Edd Straw, who is also a podcaster, analyst and contributing to The Race project, has rated the performance of all 20 grand prix drivers according to their display throughout the Formula 1 weekend, after each event in the first half of the 2021 Formula 1 season.
The ratings are given out of 10, with five defined as an average performance for an F1-level driver, which means that is still to be considered a decent score given the ultra-high standard.
Let’s take a look at the average scores of Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz over the 2021 Formula 1 season so far:
“Carlos Sainz has looked absolutely at home with Ferrari and a new deal to ensure he stays beyond the end of 2022 is surely a foregone conclusion. There have been a few errors along the way, notably getting caught out by the wind conditions in Hungaroring qualifying, but he’s also been enormously consistent and only missed out on points in Portugal and France thanks to tyre struggles.”
“Charles Leclerc has generally had an advantage over Carlos Sainz on qualifying pace and has delivered some outstanding race performances, notably leading the majority of the British GP before finishing second. The only downside is there have been a couple of errors, most monumentally the crash on his final Q3 run in Monaco on a weekend when he could have won.”
