At the same time though, vacant names such as Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel may shake the Circus from its bottom. For this very reason, teams will be looking forward to keep their current line-ups, aiming for stability in a season crucial for car development.

If one eye has therefore to be kept on the immediate future of those two youngsters, the second one has better not to be myopic: 16 out of the 20 drivers in the 2020’s line-up have their contract’s expiration set for the end of the next season.Īnyone but Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez knows where he will be in 2021, the year of the massive regulation change.

Update: More of them have been revealed which raises even more questions.ĭaniel Ricciardo, possibly the best overtaker on the grid and a driver renowned for his wheel-to-wheel ability, has the same Race craft rating as Esteban Ocon, a driver who’s been involved in quite a few incidents.Īnd Bottas’s score of 99 for Awareness seems a bit high – especially as it’s even higher than Hamilton’s.After Hulkenberg and Kubica said their goodbyes to the Circus, young blood is going to step in as a replace: we are talking about Renault's Esteban Ocon, who has already competed in two and a half F1 seasons, and Williams' rookie Nicholas Latifi, fresh Formula 2 vice-champion. And hey, at least it’s not as bad as when McLaren ranked Niki Lauda’s bravery stat as 67 out of 100. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter – we’re over-analysing numbers that will likely make more sense in the context of the game (and hopefully, all of the other drivers). Speaking of Stroll, race awareness has always been a strength of his – he’s frequently superb in the chaos of the first lap – and yet he’s rated lower in this category than Kvyat, a driver who has the nickname ‘Torpedo’ and often finds himself getting involved in bumps and scrapes. Why is Alex Albon’s Experience rating only one lower than Pierre Gasly, when Gasly has an entire extra season and a half under his belt? Why is Gasly’s Pace number five points lower than Daniil Kvyat’s when he outraced and outqualified the Russian at Toro Rosso last year? Why is Gasly’s pace rating lower than Lance Stroll’s? Now, trying to apply Top Trumps-style ratings to F1 drivers is always going to be a contentious business, and from the six driver rating cards revealed so far, that’s appears to be no different here. Each driver is ranked from 1-100 in one of four categories which will affect the way your team operates: Experience, which is key in generating resource points to help you develop a car Racecraft, which is a measure of how well a driver can overtake Awareness, which relates to how likely a driver is to make mistakes and Pace, which indicates the speed of the driver. To make that process a little bit more involved, there are going to be driver rating cards for all of the F1 and F2 drivers featured in the game. The driver ratings will be a part of F1 2020’s ‘My Team’ mode, which allows you to create and manage your own team, as well as hire drivers.
