How would you rank the 20 F1 drivers based on their *current* ability?
My list:
1. Alonso
2. Vettel
3. Hamilton
4. Ricciardo
5. Bottas
6. Verstappen
7. Perez
8. Sainz
9. Hulkenberg
10. Massa
11. Raikkonen
12. Wehrlein
13. Ocon
14. Grosjean
15. Vandoorne
16. Magnussen
17. Kvyat
18. Ericsson
19. Palmer

Tier 1
Alonso
Hamilton
VettelTier 2
Verstappen
Ricciardo
Bottas
Hulkenberg
Perez
SainzTier 3
Raikkonen
Ocon
Grosjean
Kvyat
WehrleinTier 4
Magnussen
Massa
Ericsson
VandoorneTier 5
Stroll
PalmerI’d also caveat this by saying that Vandoorne in particular needs more time, while Raikkonen/Massa are in decline. I’d suggest team bosses probably do a similar thing when choosing new drivers (not saying their groupings would be the same as mine!). For example, when Rosberg retired, Wolff approached Vettel and Alonso, both of whom could not be brought to contract for whatever reason, so he moved to Tier 2.

StrollTiers are a good way to put them because sometimes the order is loose, but adjusting it to the last 12 months let’s say, this is how I’d put them.
