Disagree with giving Tsunodas 9th spot if we are basing it on the first race and not on potential. He seems to be a fantastic addition to F1 but in a power ranking he shouldn't get extra rating just because he is a rookie. He qualified 13th in a car that Gasly showed can belong at the top of the pack. A car that might be the 3rd best or close to it. Gasly qualified 5th. Tsunoda qualified 13th was extremely subpar. In the race he climbed from 13th to 9 which is good but it's not something extraordinary considering what car he is driving and it's from the back of the grid and then 4 places up. Take Alonso on the on the other hand. He qualified 9th in a car that is at the bottom of the midfield. That was impressive. In the race he did very well and kept the pace until he started having brake issues which was not his fault. In my eyes his drive was more impressive and should place him higher in a driver ability ranking which a power ranking should be. Tsunoda did great if we factor in him being a rookie and having his first race but like I wrote a power ranking should just be about current skill in F1. What they actually have achieved so far based on their performance with the material they are working with. Not give extra points to rookies. Anyways enjoy your videos. Keep it up!
The problem with Yuki is he's at Red Bull's sister team. If he overperforms there, they'll probably move him to Red Bull after or even during his first season, he'll pull an Alex Albon and end up being dropped out of the sport... if there's anything Red Bull are known for its chewing through rookie drivers.
Ugh, I wish this wasn’t so true haha. Hopefully Checo locks down that second seat at Red Bull for this year and next year and that should give Tsunoda enough time to develop. That said, it is Red Bull so I’m sure they will get it wrong!
Happy April fools day. I swear I thought about having Mazepin as #1!
Nice analysis, it's a like from me :)
I Appreciate that!
Great work as per usual!
keep it up, I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Nice video. Can you rank top 3 of the drivers with bad luck? Alonso, Perez, Gasly for me
Oh interesting! Maybe I could add that into my power rankings as a sub category after each race. Thanks again for the support!
Hoping Checo qualis next time on softs for great starting position, tons of exciting angles for most teams
I sure Checo will make Q3 in almost every race this year. That was hopefully a 1 off haha
