Video: ranking every Formula 1 driver from worst to best based on their 2023 performances. Ranking every 2023 F1 driver from worst to best.

The narrative painted by the 2023 F1 standings might tell one tale, but ranking drivers goes beyond mere points. Annually, The Race’s F1 team bravely steps forward, potentially stirring both ire and joy among devoted fans of every driver, as it constructs its own ranking.
This ranking is exclusively built upon the drivers’ 2023 performances, considering their relative performance to the machinery. It’s not an assessment of their overall skill to determine who’s the best or worst but rather an evaluation of their performances across the 22 grand prix weekends.
Various elements are taken into account, encompassing qualifying speed, racecraft, the frequency of mistakes, consistency, and a spectrum of other metrics.
Crucially, this ranking doesn’t represent the viewpoint of a single individual but rather reflects the collective perspective of The Race’s entire F1 team.
