With the Constructors’ title signed, sealed and delivered to Red Bull’s doorstep, Max Verstappen can complete the double and bring the Drivers’ title home next weekend in the Qatar Sprint.

It’s a foregone conclusion that Max has pulled off one of the most dominant performances in the sport’s history. But what about the other 19 drivers? Despite a lack of diversity on the top step of the podium, the remaining pack is tightly packed. Just over 100 points separates 2nd — 8th in the championship.

So who fared best in the longest* season of F1 we’ve ever had? I’ve taken a deep dive into each driver’s season and ranked them accordingly. Starting with…

22. Nyck de Vries

This shouldn't come as much of a shock.

The only driver to lose his seat (so far — I’m looking at you, Logan) and a best finish of P12 in Monaco. Perhaps Helmut Marko jumped the gun at signing Nyck after his points finish in his wildcard 2022 drive in Monza.
