Other Than Lance

Who is the worst driver currently on the Formula One grid? Let’s look at the candidates. Esteban OCON must certainly be in the mix. Ten years of F1 futility should be enough. The Haas isn’t a great piece of kit. Regardless Ollie BEARMAN seems to be doing better with it. The Sophomore leads qualifying 8 to 2, race results 7 to 3 and has 18 points vs 3. Am starting to see a trend here? The Frenchman’s abrasive personality doesn’t help. With Gabriel BORTOLETO blossoming at Audi Nico HULKENBERG looks dispensable. Remember this was the guy we celebrated when he achieved his first podium not that long ago. The German manufacturer surely must be looking to the future. Truth be told Alex ALBON’s job should be at risk. He’s had a good but not great career. Just that he isn’t making progress in his craft year upon year. And the inconsistency. Carlos SAINZ recognizes he’s not the most gifted driver but leaves no stone unturned to improve himself. And Williams needs all the help they can get. Normally I would say Franco COLAPINTO is on the chopping block. Yes, being Argentinian has a little to do with my antipathy. He originally got the seat with a substantial cash payment to the team. Team boss Flavio BRIATORE inherited him from previous management so there is that. He’s not Juan Manuel FANGIO. All things considered he’s doing pretty well against Pierre GASLY. Liam LAWSON might think about opportunities back in New Zealand. He had several chances within the Red Bull family and didn’t impress. Rookie Arvid LINDBLAD seems to have his measure. With a lot longer runway. Cadillac did the right thing bringing in two steady hands in their first year of competition. Sergio PEREZ may be a bit faster than Valtteri BOTTAS but with the machinery it really doesn’t matter. The American team looks to place Colton HERTA in one of the seats. First he needs to step up big time in F2 to even get a super license. Finishing races in in the high teens isn’t going to cut it. The problem is always who can do a better job that the current incumbent. With Ferrari in Rafael CAMARA and Red Bull in Nikola TSOLOV looking very capable who knows what opportunities may open up. Either could go to Williams like George RUSSELL started his career in F1. Yeah, George. You know the guy that used to race in F1?
