Once once more this year, the official Formula 1 website had the ten team bosses voted to find out which drivers had impressed them the most, according to the world championship scale awarding 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points to the top ten. All this while guaranteeing them the anonymity of their opinion.
Mattia Binotto (Ferrari), Jost Capito (Williams), Christian Horner (Red Bull), Mike Krack (Aston Martin), Andreas Seidl (McLaren), Günther Steiner (Haas), Otmar Szafnauer (Alpine), Franz Tost (AlphaTauri), Frédéric Vasseur (Alfa Romeo) and Toto Wolff (Mercedes) thus participated in this vote which gives a real idea of the rating of each of the 20 World Cup drivers in the paddock. And therefore on the transfer market.

Head hard and straight in his boots: Verstappen has plenty to progress in 2023

It shows that the 2022 survey is in line with the world championship ranking… for the first two. Because if the now double world champion, Max Verstappen (Red Bull), winner of 15 races, dominates the debates with a total of 207 out of a possible 250, ahead of Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), who collects 144 units, the rest is different from the values established on the 22 circuits on the calendar.
Alonso and Vettel in the top 10
It is indeed a disappointment – and even a heavy sanction – for Sergio Pérez (Red Bull), ranked third in the 2022 championship and only fifth in the top 10 established by Formula 1 with the help of the sport’s decision-makers. With 91 points, the Mexican, two victories on the clock, is overtaken by Mercedes drivers, George Russell (1 victory) and Lewis Hamilton (0 victory), respectively third with 127 points and fourth with 100 points.
The reason is obvious: despite the equipment at his disposal, an almost unbeatable RB18, “Checo” Pérez most of the time played a role of n°2; just like Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), the other downgraded from this hierarchy of “team principals”. The Spaniard, winner of his first Grand Prix and world No. 5 of the season, finds himself two notches lower, behind Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and Lando Norris (McLaren).
Finally, the glorious veterans have proven that they still have their place in Formula 1 since Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel are in eighth and tenth place, with Valtteri Bottas between them.
