Haven't started yet, but I bet it might be hard to judge for some drivers because I haven't seen them much. Drivers like Ukyo Katayama, Pedro Diniz, Nicola Larini, and Shinji Nakano will not be easy to decide the ratings because I haven't seen much of them.

Just for the first season because he brought so much money in haha

OR
Manage early and have enough tire to chase to early stoppers down later in

🇲🇨 Monaco 1997:

#

Qualifying:

#

Q1 Knockouts: Diniz P22 (No time), Verstappen P21, Katayama P20, Salo P19, Truilli P18, Alesi P17

#

Diniz broke his front wing and got minor chassis damage in a crash, so I didn't bother running him again

#

Should I call him 'Binitz' if he crashes big time?

#

Q2 Knockouts: Magnussen P16, Barrichello P15, R Schumacher P14, Nakano P13, Herbert P12, Larini P11

#

Q3 Top 10: Berger P10, Hill P9, Panis P8, Fisichella P7, Coulthard P6, Hakkinen P5, M Schumacher P4, Frentzen P3, Irvine P2, Villeneuve P1

#

Polesitter: Jacques Villeneuve

#

Arrows: Damon P9, Pedro P22

#

Diniz takes a pit lane start because he f*&$ed the chassis and we have no spares so he has to take the old one and become even slower than before

#

Lap 11: After a safety car, Irvine and Schumacher are on Villeneuve's tail

#

Lap 44: Schumacher is the closest he's been to Villeneuve all season and is on fresher tires, but this is Monaco, can Villeneuve hang on to 1st and take 10 crucial points?

#

Lap 50: Villeneuve has given himself a bit of breathing space to Schumacher, but only a bit

#

Lap 51: Schumacher has some sort of gearbox problem, this could ruin his chance of passing Villeneuve.

#

Oh and Binitz crashed, again

#

Lap 56: Schumacher's gearbox has resolved itself, he can start to close in on Villeneuve again

#

Lap 64: RED FLAG, this is a huge opportunity for Ferrari to get back at Villeneuve

#

Lap 71: Truilli is failing to follow blue flags and is causing a mess of traffic, which also causes Villeneuve to lose 2 places

#

Lap 72: This traffic caused Berger, who was running 3rd, to crash into Frentzen, who then crashed into a wall and caused a concertina effect giving 5 cars front wing damage

#

So NOW they call the red flag.

After the Truilli Train mess, the Berger-Frentzen crash, and the blockade at the final corner giving 7 cars damage, it only took them 8 MINUTES to red flag the race for the 2nd time

#

Race:

#

Finishing Order: Verstappen DNF, Magnussen DNF, Diniz DNF, Katayama DNF, R Schumacher DNF, Hakkinen DNF, Frentzen DNF, Truilli P15, Salo P14, Barrichello P13, Herbert P12, Alesi P11, Berger P10 (+5 seconds - 3 places), Larini P9, Nakano P8, Hill P7, Panis P6, Coulthard P5, Fisichella P4, Irvine P3, Villeneuve P2, M Schumacher P1

#

Winner: Michael Schumacher

#

Arrows: Damon P8, Pedro DNF

#

Main Highlights:

Michael Schumacher wins 2nd race of the season and closes Villeneuve's lead in the championship to 1 point
Fisichella gets best result of the season with 4th
Jordan and Prost overtake Arrows for 4th and 5th in the constructors standings respectively
The messiest race of the season by far, so far

#

No shot we just lost 2 places to a glitch

#

Truilli went as slow as a Peel P50 trying to get lapped, causing this position rattling where Fisichella and Panis were given points positions enough to overtake us.

🇭🇺 Hungary 1997:

#

Qualifying:

#

Q1 Knockouts: Katayama P22, Diniz P21, Verstappen P20, Truilli P19, Salo P18, Larini P17

#

Q2 Knockouts: Magnussen P16, Fisichella P15 R Schumacher P14, Berger P13, Herbert P12, Nakano P11

#

Q3 Top 10: Hill P10, Barrichello P9, Panis P8, Alesi P7, Hakkinen P6, Coulthard P5, Irvine P4, Frentzen P3, M Schumacher P2, Villeneuve P1

#

Polesitter: Jacques Villeneuve

#

Arrows: Damon P10, Pedro P21

#

Pedro demoted to P22 due to grid penalty after a penalty from Germany was unable to be served

#

Lap 7: Villeneuve being more conservative in the early stages. 2 seconds behind Schumacher, but if he can keep within the slipstream of teammate Frentzen, he can keep close while keeping his tires in good check as well

#

Lap 15: Villeneuve 60% tires, Schumacher 51% tires. Is this paying off later?

#

Lap 22: Schumacher pits, how do Williams respond?

#

They call Villeneuve in, they've gone for the overcut, and it looks like he has Hakkinen to clear first

#

And clear he does

#

Lap 25: Frentzen leads, but is on significantly older tires than the 2 behind him, so the main focus looks to be Schumacher and Villeneuve

#

Lap 35: Frentzen has Villeneuve right behind. The logical thing would be to let him through, but Williams have gone for an unconvential method: Have Frentzen use all the remaining tire he has to drag Villeneuve closer to Schumacher, and it has seemingly worked, the gap has gone from 8.5 to 4 seconds.

#

Lap 48: Villeneuve is going very long on this stint, are Williams going for a really late charge?

#

Lap 53: They've pit Villeneuve way too late, he's been in backmarker traffic for a while, and it's a stop delay, a horrid race for the Williams, he's lost position to Hakkinen and Irvine

#

Race:

#

Finishing Order: Larini DNF, Diniz P21, Katayama P20, Verstappen P19, Truilli P18, Magnussen P17, Salo P16, Herbert P15, Nakano P14, R Schumacher P13, Barrichello P12, Hill P11, Fisichella P10, Berger P9, Alesi P8, Panis P7, Coulthard P6, Hakkinen P5, Irvine P4, Frentzen P3, Villeneuve P2, M Schumacher P1

#

Winner: Michael Schumacher

#

Arrows: Damon P11, Pedro P21

#

Main Highlights:

Schumacher wins 6th race of the season
Double podium for Williams, but you have to question just how many things went against Villeneuve. Ignorant backmarkers, pit stop delays, strategy blunders, all not things he needs to get back on level footing with Schumacher.

Good news is the all important session now goes instantly with both of our cars out

#

Q3 Top 10: R Schumacher P10, Alesi P9, Berger P8, Panis P7, Irvine P6, Hakkinen P5, Coulthard P4, Villeneuve P3, Frentzen P2, M Schumacher P1

#

Polesitter: Michael Schumacher

#

Arrows: Damon P14, Pedro P17

#

Championship Contenders: Jacques P3, Michael P1

#

The catch is, Schumacher needs to win, so if Frentzen wins the race, Villeneuve will win the title

#

Lap 3: Not needed at the moment, Villeneuve takes both Frentzen and Schumacher in 1 lap

#

Lap 4: Title rivals have been left alone to duel, 1.4 to Coulthard in 3rd

#

Lap 5: Schumacher regains the lead, but Villeneuve is still right on his tail

#

Lap 7: Frentzen and now Irvine as well have caught up to the top 2

#

Now this bit could be the biggest civil war. If Irvine wins, it will deny Schumacher the title if Villeneuve finishes 4th or higher

#

Lap 10: The civil war is unlikely to happen at this point in time, Frentzen is doing the team game against Schumacher and Villeneuve is having to nurse his tires while fighting with Irvine

#

Briefly off topic, no matter if Villeneuve or Schumacher wins the title, it adds one more driver to my biggest F1 Manager project yet

#

Lap 14: As you were from lap 10, but looking at the constructors, one of the Ferraris has to DNF in order for Williams to steal the championship in that regard

#

Lap 16: Villeneuve is under threat from both McLarens! What is happening to the Williams?

#

Frentzen pits, AND IT'S A SLOW ONE, REAR RIGHT WOULDN'T COME OFF, THIS GIVES SCHUMACHER A HUGE ADVANTANGE!!!

#

Lap 17: Villeneuve, Irvine, and Coulthard all pit, the stops will determine the order on the way out

#

What happened to Irvine? Didn't look like he had a slow stop but he's been jumped by Coulthard and is a few seconds back from him

#

Lap 18: Despite the bad stop, Frentzen is flying, 15 seconds to Schumacher

#

Heading into lap 19, Frentzen set a time 4 seconds faster, surely Ferrari are going to call Michael in at some point?

#

Lap 19: Schumacher in, and the attempted overcut has even cost him postion to Villeneuve, a blunder or are Ferrari doing something not many know of?

#

Lap 21: Schumacher is stuck behind Berger, losing heaps of time behind the Benetton. Perfect opportunity for Villeneuve to create some breathing room

#

Leader Hakkinen spins, costing Frentzen some valuable time to Schumacher, not ideal

#

OH NO, VILLENEUVE HAS DEVELOPED AN ENGINE PROBLEM, IT'S COME AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME!

#

He can keep going at the moment, but can he keep 4th in case Frentzen wins?

#

Lap 34: Looks like Villeneuve's engine woes aren't going away, so it's all down to Heinz-Harald Frentzen to get something out of this season for Williams

#

SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED, THIS COULD COMPLETLY CHANGES THINGS!

#

Predictably, everyone in the top 4 pits, and exits in the same order

#

Lap 39: Safety Car in this lap, and Villeneuve's engine problem has still not gone away, this puts him under threat from the McLarens behind

#

Lap 41: IRVINE LEADS, WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN AT FERRARI? THERE'S A CHAMPIONSHIP AT STAKE!

#

15 laps to go: This Ferrari infighting has allows the Williams to keep on their tails. SPEAKING OF INFIGHTING, VILLENEUVE GETS PAST FRENTZEN DESPITE THE PROBLEM, THIS COULD BE HUGE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

#

Lap 47: VILLENEUVE'S FAULT HAS WORSENED, YET ANOTHER TWIST HERE TODAY!

#

It's very much power related, he could barely get past Irvine on the straight

#

5 laps to go: The nerves down at Williams are through the roof, the drivers championship has been put on Frentzen's shoulders for his teammate

#

HANG ON, THE TWO MCLARENS HAVE ARRIVED ON VILLENEUVE'S GEARBOX, THIS COULD COMPLETLY SWING THINGS

#

HAKKINEN'S GONE, VILLENEUVE DOWN TO 5TH. Now no matter if Frentzen wins or not, Schumacher wins the title

#

Coulthard through as well, I think it's all over

#

That engine problem just too much a deadweight for Villeneuve

#

Race:

#

Finishing Order: Salo DNF, Larini P21, Katayama P20, Diniz P19, Verstappen P18, Truilli P17, Nakano P16, Magnussen P15, Panis P14, Hill P13, Alesi P12, Herbert P11, Barrichello P10, Berger P9, Fisichella P8, R Schuamcher P7, Villeneuve P6, Coulthard P5, Irvine P4, Hakkinen P3, M Schumacher P2, Frentzen P1

Lap 3: Perez has gone way out and hit the wall and is now out of this race! Very bad news for Red Bull in the constructors as Verstappen has fallen to 21st

#

Lap 7: The McLarens have built a healthy gap out in front, 3.6 seconds to others

Meanwhile, Schumacher is doing very well for Haas, currently holding 8th in a DRS train to 4th

#

Lap 9: Hamilton has seemingly finally found form, he's turned that gap to nothing and takes the lead of this race

#

Lap 11: Verstappen has made minimal progress so far, sitting way down in 17th and 2.6 seconds to the next car, he's got a lot of work to do

#

Lap 18: Albon and Ocon collide, a civil war between French manufacturers Alpine and Renault

Lap 30: After pit stops, Norris just cannot get past Sainz, he's losing massive amounts of time to Ricciardo

#

#

Hamilton and Verstappen take pit lane starts

#

Lap 8: Tsunoda has found his way up to 3rd place, quite the spot for AlphaTauri

#

Ahead of him, it's a Ferrari 1-2 led by Sainz

#

Lap 15: Sainz going very wide at the final corner, he's lost 4 places

#

Bottas now leads the race

#

Lap 19: Tsunoda is in a heap of trouble, his ERS is dead with a load of cars on their way to his position

#

Lap 38: Within this time, Tsunoda has gone out of the points, Perez took the lead but got a major car problem, so it's a Ferrari 1-2 again, this time it's Leclerc in front

#

Lap 43: The McLarens are really coming back in this race, from 15th and 14th, they are now 4th and 2nd

#

Lap 47: What on earth is Mazepin doing? He's causing a mess with the leaders

#

Lap 52: The final stops are happening, this is crucial to decide the victor of this race

#

Lap 53: Mazepin has crashed with 19th placed Raikkonen. Haas really need Schumacher's 12th place in France to not be bested by Alfa Romeo at this point

#

Lap 59: The laps are counting down, Leclerc and Norris are the ones to watch for victory now

#

Maybe even Sainz as well

#

Lap 60: Mazepin update: He's been lapped by 21st placed Latifi

#

Lap 64: Well Sainz's tires are going, his victory chances are gone

#

Lap 69: Just 3 laps left, Leclerc and Norris are still fighting for 1st

Leclerc swoops around the outside at turn 4 and takes the lead on the final lap! Can he hang on though?

#

Lap 25: Verstappen is right on his gearbox now, is this a change of lead here?

#

Lap 26: Verstappen has a go into turn 5 and makes it stick, Perez's engine problem just too much to overcome the attack

#

#

Qualifying:

#

Q1 Knockouts: Latifi P22, Vettel P21, Mazepin P20, Schumacher P19, Giovinazzi P18, Gasly P17

#

Polesitter: Daniel Ricciardo

#

McLaren: Daniel P1, Lando P4

#

Perez has a penalty, Lando promoted to P3

#

If 2020 Monza threw up a chaotic race, I'm confident 2021 can give something similar

#

Lap 5: Verstappen leads, while Albon is up 6 places to 4th for Renault

#

Lap 8: Sainz has found his way through the train and leads for Ferrari at Monza

#

Lap 34: Verstappen got out of DRS and hasn't looked back since, looking to be out of reach at this point

#

Lap 49: Safety car deployed, this is a crucial moment for all teams. Do they pit and gamble on the safety car going in or do they stay out and hope it goes on long enough to the end?

#

Lap 52: Lapped cars not allowed to overtake, this more or less confirms the end of this race

#

#

McLaren: Daniel P1, Lando P2

#

Lap 24: So a short recap:

The race started in damp conditions but went to wets in a few laps. I went for wets to build a gap to the cars behind, and it seemed to work. Until Mazepin caused a safety car and derailed original plans. But the track is now damp again, which means my drivers can preserve the old wets better. If we can hang on until it becomes wet again, we can pit for another set of wets and come out in the lead again

#

Lap 30: Now we can undercut the leaders

#

Lap 37: The guys in front still haven't pitted and the track is getting dryer. Daniel is 6th while Lando has struggled with the traffic and is down in 11th

#

Verstappen is 9th and has a major problem, so big points are on the cars for both drivers

#

Lap 39: Outside of the top 3 drivers, every pitted except Hamilton and Alonso

#

Make that just Hamilton

#

Lap 44: Ironic number, Hamilton gets passed by Ricciardo on track while the Mercedes is on 32% tires

#

Lap 46: Wait, what's this? Sergio Perez is within sight of Daniel Ricciardo, could he possibly take some points off Ricciardo to help his teammate Verstappen?

#

It's starting to dry up a bit, is anyone going to try inters this time?

#

Looks like Hamilton is gambling on the weather to stay dry enough for the inters to be better, he fit inters on his last stop

#

Lap 49: Meanwhile, Perez is within 2 seconds of Ricciardo for the lead

#

Lap 51: 3 main contenders for the win, Perez is now within 5 tenths of Ricciardo, while Hamilton's intermediate gamble is allowing him to gain seconds per lap. The win is still up for grabs, who's going to take it here in Turkey?

#

Lap 53: Hamilton now 8 seconds behind Ricciardo, he's gaining hand over fist

#

He's 3 seconds a lap faster

#

On the team principal side here, I'm very nervous. The rain is increasing, but only slightly, and Hamilton is gaining at a rate of knots

#

#

Lap 55: VERSTAPPEN'S TIRE HAS BLOWN, THIS IS HUGE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

#

3 laps to go: Hamilton now 3 seconds behind Ricciardo, this is going to be the closest finish in years

#

2 laps to go: Looks like the rain has come at just the right time, Hamilton no longer gaining in the leaders

#

He may even lose 3rd here

#

Final Lap: That inter gamble narrowly didn't pay off for Mercedes, Hamilton back down to 5th

#

To add insult to injury, Hamilton gets a mechanical problem after his race has finished

#

Race:

#

We're going to need races like the last one to keep beating Max at this point. Lap 5 in America and he's already 2 seconds ahead

#

Constructors is without question though because Perez tapped into his 2024 form 3 years early

#

Lap 12: Verstappen leads a Red Bull 1-2 with Ricciardo just behind them

#

Just checked, Mazepin has DNFd 7 times, the most of any driver in this season

#

Lap 15: It's now Verstappen leads Ricciardo leads Perez leads Norris

#

Lap 19: Both McLarens pit, and they's perfectly put Ricciardo ahead of Piastri

#

Lap 2: The rest of the front runners pit, and Ricciardo is out ahead of Verstappen, the undercut working for McLaren

#

However, Perez pit even earlier and is the current race leader
