He’s a rookie who wasn’t ready for an f1 seat yet. I just wish Williams had let him do another year in f2 to prepare him better rather than just throwing him in the deep end. Lawson benefited and developed greatly from doing super formula this year which is in my opinion part of the reason he’s adjusted so quickly (obviously he’s still a great driver but he definitely wasn’t anywhere close to drivers like Piastri prior to this season). Generally I think better drivers adapt faster and you can’t deny Piastri is just hands down a better driver but Sargeant was clearly fucked over by going into that seat to early and destroying his confidence.

Piastri should be a tier higher IMO. He is good enough already. Outqualifying Lando Norris in several races now is a big statement given the kind of Quali God Lando is. Piastri would beat Yuki, Kmag and Valtteri in a head to head, don't tell me he wouldn't. He is cool under pressure as well

oscar being called "replaceable" and being in the same category as the likes of yuki and kmag is OUTRAGEOUS

Oscar Piastri was the class of the field in wet Spa quali, and that sprint was epic. Oscar only missed out on Silverstone podium by virtue of bad pit stop/safety car timing - and he was much faster than Lewis who inherited that P3 and, as openly critical of his own car as Lewis has been, I think he’d openly admit that if he didn’t already. OP avenged that with a less brilliant but still bloody solid drive to P3 at Silverstone+ (Japan, if anyone is scratching their head). Rookie podiums aren’t exactly a dime a dozen and he should have two. Oscar’s had some crazy starts and he’s been studying and working on Max at every single opportunity (ask Peter Windsor). Oscar has not been miles off Lando despite usually being one step behind in upgrades, and more impressively than anything: PastryBoy81 had top 5 quali pace in Singapore, got stuck at the back of the grid and worked his way up to 7th - and unlike a trademark Russell or Pérez “We were the fastest car all race, aren’t I special?” recovery drive, he made no mistakes in qualifying (except existing at the same time as the green-clad window-licker) and typically for him made very little noise about his performance afterwards. He did all that in an old spec car and wasn’t far shy of Lando’s pace (not the first time that’s happened this season either) - and it’s his first race at goddamn *Singapore*. He was upstaged somewhat by Liam (and fair play to that guy because he well and truly made his mark), but he “qualified” 7 places behind the Kiwi and finished ahead of him. Slight difference in machinery, it has to be said, but still. If you count a breakout performance at Spa, front rows and podium(s) in his rookie year and catching up to his monstrously fast teammate even as Lando has upped his game quite superbly, not being outclassed quite like other “second” drivers of note (points don’t tell the full story, as you say) Replaceable?!? You’re having a laugh mate. 🫠 I’d stick him in borderline champions because I don’t think any one of your midfield drivers has a patch on him. Albon has Sargeant as a measuring stick. Hulk has KMag. Oscar has Land - somewhat stiffer competition. Maybe he’s not at Sainz level yet, but he has got more time than anyone and probably one of the best career starts of everyone on that grid bar The Dreadlocked One. The only ones that can let him down are himself and McLaren. The Singapore drive alone would be sending a pretty strong statement of intent, but given the state of the car early season and the colossal experience deficit to Lando and year off fetching Otmar’s coffee, the whole season is just standout stuff, and I doubt there’s anyone in the know who isn’t watching the driver in car 81 🇦🇺🥐 very closely indeed. 😊😅

Oscar is all about potential and he has a lot of it. There were two main upgrades and affected two races. However in Japan there was a large disparity between Oscar and Lando in the race. I would have put him one place higher than Aldas but respect his reasoning. Its a case of how much weight you put on his few rookie errors and he has had some and whether potential is a valid thing to score and not reality. Its a judgement call as they say.

Oscar, currently 57 points and 9th in the standing, is placed below P11 of Gasly and P12 of Ocon, and I don't think these two will perform any better than Oscar in the Mclaren. He need to be on the third tier.

I think you are still rating Russell WAY over his actual abilities. All the drivers in "Quality midfield" have been more consistent than him and have extracted more out of their car than George had compared to his teammate. Especially Oscar, who has had one of the worst cars for half the season now and has only been out of the top 5 when others have taken him out of the race. Russell impeded his teammate 4 times this year that I can remember off the top of my head and cracked under pressure (while not in a championship fight), so I fail to see how he is anywhere near "Borderline champion".

Piastri is at least 25-30 points lower than where he should be. He was unlucky at silverstone with a safety car (3points), got taken out by Sainz at Spa costing him 4th or 5th(10-12points), got taken out by Lewis at Monza (4points), received the upgrades after Norris twice (cost him at least 10points), was undercut by his team 3 times to prioritise Norris even when Piastri was faster(3-4 points). Piastri shoukd be sitting on at least 80points which is only 35 points behind Lando who has 5 years of experience. Most of the tracks he hasnt even seen before and still has managed to out qualify Norris consistently recently. Piastri will beat Lando next year imo.

I'd stick my neck out to say Pastri is borderline champion material, even though he hasn't proved it exactly and he defo isn't there right now, but idk, my spidy senses say he's the real deal, even better than lando once he nails the race pace, I think next season he will be smashing lando

Even back in Williams, he crashed out behind the safety car in Imola 2020 (which was a chance for points), so it's not something he picked up recently. He could be a champion if given the right circumstance, but he does also have a few flaws he needs to improve on to become a force to be reckoned with.

@@barcafan94 Leclerc makes quite a few mistakes in qualifying and practice sessions though. His last crash in that sense was Zandvoort this year (if I'm correct). Practice crashes means the teams can't gather data, Quali crashes means he starts the race from a bad position, and both together cost the team to rebuild the car. He doesn't crash as much on race day, but he is prone to mistakes in other sessions.

@@barcafan94 You should count practice sessions as well. Crashing a car still means the team needs to rebuild it (which now adds to the cost cap), and practice crashes take away valuable track time for the team to gather data. It's not just Leclerc, any driver that crashes in practice deserves to be criticised (it's not as bad as crashing out in quali or race, but it still is not ideal for the team). Leclerc is a fast driver, but he crashes a lot more than Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton, Norris and Piastri. Ideally, he shouldn't be doing that, regardless of whether it's in practice, qualifying, or races.

@@barcafan94 Yeah, he's definitely been improving recently. My problem though is I'm still not confident that he'll go the rest of the season without a crash. If he does, then I'll be impressed with him.

Just my opinion, but Piastri is not a replaceable driver in any respect. If McLaren give them a challenging car, Piastri and Norris could challenge for a title. Post Qatar, he deserves to be borderline champions. A rookie race winner isn’t something we’ve seen in years

I agree except for Piastri. I would put him in Quality Midfield.

I'll say it in every f1 conversation I have this year, Nando has that DAWG in him. Absolute masterclass

The replaceable got pole for sprint race

People are slandering Tsunoda too much, I think he has had a stellar season, just very unlucky at times. The car he is working with is pretty horrid, and people forget that there were a LOT of dnf's in the Singapore race, where Lawson scored his P9. Piastri is also too low, first podium in rookie season is NOT replaceable. Who would you get instead of Oscar that would deliver a podium and that is available? there is noone.

Agreed both of them deserve better

If the current performance trends are continuing in the future; Piastri will soon go from a quality midfield driver to a borderline champion, and Hamilton will go from borderline champion to quality midfield.

I really love this tier system because it allows so much more sensible ratings. Like, Ricciardo might be borderline champion or solid, but replaceable. We can’t be sure yet. It also allows you to put the best drivers in the same tier without a huge argument by having to rank one above the other, especially when the cars are so essential.

Piastri should be in future world champion category. Delayed upgrades and rookie season!

Even if currently, Piastri is not as good of a driver as Nico or Alex, putting him in the "Solid But Replaceable" category is wrong. I think the problem is how you named your categories rather than going S tier, A tier, B tier, C tier, etc. Your category names imply some sort of context that isn't there for some drivers. Piastri is absolutely NOT replaceable, he's a rookie who is performing extremely well even if he's just a bit behind his more experienced teammate. If anyone at McLaren thinks Piastri is replaceable they are crazy. I would agree with you placing him in that tier if you labelled the tiers as S tier, A tier, B tier, C tier, etc.

I usually agree with most things you do, but rating Piastri as solid but replaceable is a laughably ridiculous rating. He’s had a podium in a Grand Prix and a sprint race. He is Killing it as a rookie. Almost every team on the grid would kill to sign him if they could. Get real stop with the rookie bias. He is a future champion or a competitor for one at least. At a minimum he’s in the solid midfield driver category. He is simply orders of magnitude better than the drivers you lumped him with. Oscar is the best rookie in F1 since Max and Lewis. This is a rating you need to reconsider.

@@barcafan94 I respectfully disagree. Charles’s best finish as a rookie was sixth and his best qualifying position as a rookie seventh. Oscar has finished as high as third and qualified as high as second. Charles’s finishing position in the drivers championship as a rookie was 13th. Oscar will finish much higher than that. Of course Lewis came within a point of winning the championship as a rookie so to me his rookie season was the greatest in F1 history. But as a rookie I would rate Oscar higher than Charles.

@@barcafan94 Fairpoint. I certainly think Leclerc had a strong rookie season for being in a lousy car. But empirically I can’t call it better than Oscar’s season.

Not so sure how much I agree with Piastri hay👀I feel like people were talking about LeClerc like he was a future world champion in his rookie season but I don’t get why Piastri isn’t in the same conversation🤔

You did Oscar so dirty with this.

piastri quality midifield and perez something to prove grows everyday on me

If Sargeant continues like he's doing right now it'll be soon Sargeant category instead of Latifi

Sprint race and p2 on race …. Not bad for a replaceable driver

Piastri in that category?! Absolutely not done.

Soooo Piastri has scored more points than anyone in the tier above in his rookie season, but he is ranked lower than those drivers? Even though he won the last 3 consecutive championships he entered in his rookie year.

This season really shows why max, Fernando, and Lewis are World Champions, and Leclerc, Norris, and Russel are still “future” champions! The champions are all proven to be able to keep their cool and manage to stay calm throughout a race. The others are all fast, but still a bit emotional on race day. Experience speaks volumes!

My tier list: Best of the best: Max, Alonso, Hamilton Borderline champions: Sainz, Leclerc, Norris, Russel Quality midfield drivers: Checo, Gasly, Ocon, Hulkenberg, Albon, Tsunoda, Bottas, Ricciardo, Piastri Solid but replaceable: Magnussen Something to prove: Zhou Latifi: Stroll, Sargeant.

Good video aldas!! But as a Leclerc fanboy for my sanity, at the end of the season please do a GP by GP breakdown of the highly contested teammate pairings to properly evaluate who had the best season...points aside. Let's look at the actual performances

Piastri really got done dirty.

ahhh im really struggling with your oscar placement.... but at the same time totally understand it hhaa solid list in my opinion though sir and great video yet again. up the toffees

I get that the comparison to his teammate cannot be helped but ignoring the four years of F1 experience between them is total bonkers. You did Oscar dirty with this one.

I put an extra category the "Promising or quality mid fielder" and changed "Quality mid fielder" to "Good mid fielder" and "Solid replaceable" with "Meh" . *Best of the best: Max *Borderline champion: Carlos, Lando, Fernando, Lewis *Promising or quality mid fielder: Charles, George, Oscar, Alex *Good mid fielder: Nico, Esteban, Pierre, Yuki *Meh: Valterri, Kevin, Zhou, Checo *Something to prove: Daniel, Lance *Not worthy: Logan Yes Charles and George below Carlos and Lando. They have the speed to go up, but do make to much little mistakes under pressure with catastrophic results.

Great video! Who do you think will be the next top tier driver?

Aldas would probably say Norris. But it’s pretty likely it’ll be George. Despite these mistakes he’s getting the education of a lifetime teaming weekly with Lewis. Russell is probably more battle-hardened/championship ready than any other non-champion on the grid.

Leclerc has to be higher then Sianz. When the ferrari was a race winning car last season Charles showed his quality over Sianz. Carlos is a very good driver, but better suited for the upper midfield, whilst Charles is a future world champion

He stalled a car at a race start, that's never happening to Alonso.

Great ranking. I really go along with you. I would have rated ascar one level above at first but you have a point that he is not performing like that YET. So i totally agree.

Aldas bro, how the f can you put Piastri below Ocon, Gasly & Hulkenberg?
