Top Four Drivers of the Imola Grand Prix

-



Honorable Mention: Lance Stroll


As Vettel languishes in a long shadow of his former glory, Lance Stroll has quietly proved to be Aston Martin's reliable #1. It's still early, but if he continues like this his stock is going to rise. Unlikely he'll part from Lawrence so soon, but if he does get a better offer I wonder if he leaves. 


 4. Pierre Gasly


Another quiet but brilliant performance from Pierre. Despite mind-boggling strategy decisions from AlphaTauri, he managed to rise back up the ranks and not finish too far off where he would have been otherwise. With Yuki out of the points, Pierre is an absolute legend for AlphaTauri. 


3. Lando Norris


Consistency is key. Over the course of this rag-tag season, it's not going to be the individual performances deciding the championship at the end of the day. It's going to be the drivers who can stay out of trouble the most. Of those people, you can firmly say that Lando did the best job of that. Honestly if he were in a car on equal footing as Lewis' he may have won yesterday. Mega.


2. Lewis Hamilton


Speaking of which, Hamilton shows once again how he just finds a way to keep his head above water. While his teammate, even before crashing, had an abysmal race, Hamilton decided his fate would be much different. Despite the mistake that took him off track, Lewis still managed to nearly win the race in a battered Mercedes. Can't say its the car now. 


1. Max Verstappen


I'm sure this will happen a bunch this year. As Max and Lewis really fight it out for the title, there's constant intrigue as to what will happen next. Max won today, but on another day it easily could have been Lewis. Or even Checo. Let's just enjoy this season as it happens. As is often true of new regulations, the current level of competitiveness is likely to decline. 


FF1 Top Four Driver Championship:


1: Lewis Hamilton - 38 pts.

2. Max Verstappen - 38 pts.

3. Lando Norris - 24 pts. 

4. Sergio Perez - 13 pts.

5. Pierre Gasly - 11 pts.

6. Yuki Tsunoda - 7 pts.

7. Lance Stroll - 7 pts.

5 Biggest Contracts In F1 History

5. Max Verstappen The youngest driver on this list seems destined to smash all other records, but for now, Verstappen's current deal keeps him at fifth all-time. After securing his second title in 2022, his £73 Million deal looks to actually be extraordinarily team-friendly. Nevertheless, it's the fifth biggest deal of all time, and has the dual World Champion with the team until 2027.  4. Sebastian Vettel  As far as the top 5 deals of all time go, it's quite easy to place this one as the least successful. Though the 2017 and 18 seasons looked initially promising for the Tifosi, Vettel's ill-fated mistake in Germany in 2019 was an accurate reflection of how his time at Ferrari went. Despite mostly dominating his long-standing Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen, his reign coincided with the most dominant car/driver combination in Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. Ultimately, his race wins will be fondly remembered, but his time was likely not worth the astounding £81 Million dea

5 Ugliest F1 Cars of All Time

5. 1977 Ligier What day is it? HUMP DAY! ( For those who don't get it ) This Ligier was interesting to say the least. The Tyrell 007 had a huge airbox as well and Tyrell was known for its crazy designs but Ligier just decided it wash't enough. If you put the image on Photoshop and outline it, it's as big at the cockpit of the car itself. 4. Ferrari 312 b3 Anyone need a forklift? This car was just plain weird, and I would expect more from Ferrari. It wasn't a great season for them either way, ugly cars generally don't work well historically. Obviously it's not a direct function, but factual. 3. Ensign N179 This car was another good try at an aerodynamic breakthrough, but unfortunately for Derek Daly, Patric Gailard, and Marc Surer, it didn't work. They scored no points and made a tiny bit of a mockery of themselves. Oh well, they continued on to improve until 1982. 2. Effeland Type 21 We're almost at number 1 and it's get

F1 Game 2012 Tips and Tricks

General Driving: Smooth is fast, especially on tracks like Hungary and Malaysia. Leveling out your acceleration is better as opposed to  immediately getting fully on the gas, even though it may feel faster. If you're slow through a particular corner, try slowing more on the entrance or take a new line. Always change the braking to high unless you're using locking brakes. Pick a car that has steering that is compatible with your driving style. For example, I know the Mclaren and the Sauber don't fit my style, but the Marussia and the Mercedes do. If you know you're going to hit the car in front of you, hit it as close to the middle of it as possible, that will lessen the possibility of them spinning and more importantly, you getting a penalty. Guiding rule of F1 2012:  Never accelerate when your rear wheels are on a kerb Career Mode:  Start with a lower level team because your teammate is going to be less competitive. Caterham is the lowest you can go and
