Quote:Ozzy Osbone
I think he is as good as 80% of the grid.

He's certainly elite. Imagine a club of drivers who - having started to all the races in a season - managed to score a point or less in total. Here's the club's hall of fame since 2006:
2018 Sirotkin
2017 Ericsson
2016 Gutierrez, Wehrlein, Palmer, Ericsson
2015 Stevens
2014 Gutierrez, Sutil, Maldonado
2013 Van der Varde, Chilton, Pic, Bianchi, Maldonado
2012 Petrov, Glock, Pic, Kovalainen, Karthikeyan, De la Rosa
2011 D'Ambrosio, Kovalainen, Maldonado
2010 Glock, Di Grassi, Trulli, B. Senna, Kovalainen
2009 Nakajima
2008 Sutil, Fisichella
2007 Barrichello, Sutil, Davidson
2006 Sato, Albers, Monteiro, Speed, Liuzzi
Don't you think they do have something in common?
Quote:Williams-123
Its interesting would Sirotkin be as good as Bottas or not quite as good as him?
Equal to Bottas? Maybe?

Quote:The number of points achieved depends mainly from variables different than driver's ability, most of all car competitiveness, so it can't really be used as a parameter to judge drivers. Had Sirotkin driven for Williams in 2017, he wouldn't belong to your clubSweeperQuote:Myvatn

Booo, wrong answer Most are
a) gone
b) not missed
c) hardly remembered.
I am too lazy to make an all-time table, which would take the membership card back from the likes of Rubens, and leave us with the creme de la creme of the sport. Where Sirotkin of course would still firmly belong.
Quote:How is it an excuse? He had the worst car on the grid, that's a fact. And still he managed to show some speed in qualifying, something guys like Eriksson, Gutierrez or Bruno Senna, who had far more opportunities, never did. None is putting SIR in the same ballpark of Alonso or Ricciardo, but it is objectively unlucky to have your only shot at F1 in the grid's worst car.ihmeQuote:Myvatn

Gotta love the shitty car excuse for Sirotkin.
Alonso was driving a Minardi. Ricciardo's first outing in F1 was in the HRT.
If someone will show the potential to be a great driver in the crappiest car he will make it in F1. If Sirotkin would have made an impact in F1 all the smart people would offer him a reserve or sim driver role immediately. Instead he was outscored by Stroll and crashed in the barrier on the Monaco's straight (!).
