Top Four Drivers of the Styrian Grand Prix

-



Honorable mention: Kimi Raikkonen


I haven't included Kimi in my top four series so far, and that just feels outright wrong. Today the Iceman put on a great performance. His rapid ascent through the field secured himself the highest non-points paying position someone can have. Maybe next time.


4th: Fernando Alonso


From one former champ to another, both well-aged drivers put in a stint on this Sunday. Their collective ability to rebuke overtakes and ascend up the field is what got them to where they are today. And it really showed. Once again, it's his performance compared to Ocon that gains him this prestigious award. Keep it up Alonso.


3rd: Carlos Sainz


Two Spanish drivers feature today. His intense ability to produce race-craft no matter where he starts on the field puts this man in our top three. While Leclerc had an absolute stinker of a first lap (and will not feature due to that contact), Sainz was quietly charging his way up the field. A seemingly anonymous 6th position is no more than he deserves, however. 


2nd: Lando Norris


This young kid has got a bright future ahead of him. His incredible consistency showed its head again. 7/8 top 5 finishes is something Hamilton should be expecting, not this former McLaren Junior. Nevertheless, he's looking like a star in the making.


1st Max Verstappen


We usually don't give driver of the day top the race winners, but i counts even better when you outdo your teammate. Max was flawless today, and even despite having Hamilton in his rearview mirrors for most of the day, Verstappen was absolutely mauling it. His celebration will go down in F1 history, and if he keeps this up, so will the rest of his season.

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
