2021 abcdef1 driver rankings 21 11

The 2021 F1 season is over and as we start looking when on what’s been an incredible season full of drama, we decided to go when over our ABCDEF1 WTF1 Podcast rankings from the year.

For those unaware of ABCDEF1, it’s where we rate each suburbanite without the race with A* stuff the highest grade, followed by A, B, C, D, E and finally F. Thanks to one of our followers ‘Tunefix2,’ we’ve got ourselves a championship table and here we squint at the drivers from 21st to 11th.

Points system:

A* 6 Points
A 5 Points
B 4 Points
C 3 Points
D 2 Points
E 1 Point
F 0 Points

21. Robert Kubica – 9 points

Best grade: A (Zandvoort)

Worst grade: B (Monza)

21st and last on the list is Robert Kubica, but that is of undertow as a result the Alfa Romeo reserve only taking part in two races to replace Kimi Raikkonen due to Covid-19. We gave him an A and B in those races which if we were doing an stereotype instead of a points system, Robert would be in 3rd!

20. Nikita Mazepin – 45 points

Best grade: C (x8)

Worst grade: F (Bahrain)

It’s perhaps no surprise to see Mazepin in P20 without a difficult year. He started the season with an F grade without a upturned debut in Bahrain but did find some increasingly consistency at the end of the year.

19. Kimi Raikkonen – 57 points

Best grade: A (Mexico and Russia)

Worst grade: F (Portugal)

Kimi Raikkonen’s final season wasn’t hugely spectacular but he did receive two A grades for his points scoring finishes in Mexico and Russia. Had he not missed two races due to Covid-19, his stereotype score would have put him in 16th rather than 19th.

=17. Nicholas Latifi

Best grade: A* (Hungary – secured points and ran in third)

Worst grade: E (Emilia Romagna – crashed into Mazepin)

It was a much increasingly solid season for Nicholas Latifi this year, with the highlight coming at the Hungarian Grand Prix where he scored a sunny seventh place and increasingly importantly an A star in ABCDEF1.

=17. Yuki Tsunoda – 61 points

Best grade: A* (Abu Dhabi)

Worst grade: E (Russia)

Even despite stuff a rookie, Tsunoda had a difficult season and his ABCDEF1 grades showed. 11 D grades over the season sums up how nonflexible it was but he finally scored an A star in the final race at Abu Dhabi without a career weightier P4.

16. Antonio Giovinazzi – 64 points

Best grade: A (Saudi Arabia)

Worst grade: E (Hungary)

In what could be Antontio Giovinazzi’s last season in F1, he achieved a C grade in increasingly than half the races, which sort of sums up his fairly unspectacular season. His weightier result came in Saudi Arabia where he took 9th place and achieved an A grade in ABCDEF1.

15. Mick Schumacher – 67 points

Best grade: B (x6)

Worst grade: D (x5)

It was nonflexible to judge Mick Schumacher over the season, driving hands the worst car on the grid and having a less than spectacular teammate. He was sometimes a bit crash happy but showed promise at plenty of races too.

14. Lance Stroll – 70 points

Best grade: A (Styria, Monza, Qatar)

Worst grade: F (Hungary)

After a strong season in the Racing Point last year, Stroll didn’t enjoy the same success with Aston Martin. His worst grade came in Hungary where he helped rationalization turn one unconnectedness withal with Valtteri Bottas while he achieved three A grades thanks to solid points finishes in Styria, Monza and Qatar.

13. Valtteri Bottas – 72 points

Best grade: A* (Turkey)

Worst grade: F (Hungary)

While Bottas no doubt improved towards the end of the season and helped Mercedes to an eighth constructors’ title, his poor start to the year saw many low grades in ABCDEF1. He was given an E in Imola and Baku but plane worse was Hungary where ‘Bottas bowling’ gave him an F. However, in Turkey he really answered his critics with a sunny momentum in tricky conditions to get a well deserved A star.

12. Daniel Ricciardo – 74 points

Best grade: A* (Monza)
Worst grade: E (Monaco)

Speaking of rollercoaster seasons… did anyone have as many ups and downs as Daniel Ricciardo? He was surprisingly poor slantingly team-mate Lando Norris and was plane lapped by him in Monaco, the race where he received his worst ABCDEF1 grade of E. No surprise though is that his weightier was an A star performance in Monza where he helped McLaren secure their first victory since 2012.
