MODERATORS
Stroll had a few good years in the past where I was starting to believe he was an OK F1 driver, but these last few seasons he's just not there. He can drive but he just has no drive to become better.
Perez is FAR more motivated and has more racecraft, and probably more speed. The biggest issue with Perez is that he is trying to match Max and Max is just in another tier. Of course the car is made for Max and it doesn't help that Perez is refusing to compromise on setup. But I don't think there's a car out there that Max can't beat Perez in.
Same can be said for Hamilton & Bottas (and I say this as a massive Bottas fan).
Agreed on literally every count here. I think you've nailed it. Perez might not be Max, but he's at worst a mid-grid driver. Honestly, I'd rank him below only Max, Sainz, Leclerc, Hamilton, and maybe Norris. I'm not sure how I'd compare him to Alonso, but I think he's clearly better than the rest.
You hurt me by not ranking Alonso with the top.
I honestly still put him in the top tier with Max and Lewis.
I kind of would, but I kind of wouldn't. AM's machinery has been so so, therefore I'm in kind of a limbo with how to rank him.
