So, are you ready to choke yourself with the 2021 Top 6 Formula 1 driver? 

​

If yes, then get your helmet strapped and bite the bullet as the countdown begins.

Here you go with Number six_ Charles Leclerc

​

What

​

Though he couldn’t tie a roaring success in 2020, this season the Monaco-based Ferrari driver showed some phenomenal performances with a score of 104. 

​

There have been a few loopholes, such as he stuck his Ferrari on poles twice in his hometown and Baku which was sensational. This crash was the only flaw in qualifying in Monaco which cost him the chance to fight for victory in his home Grand Prix. 

​

Why

​

Leclerc's finest moment is his brilliant drive at Silverstone. There he was with his Hard tires worn and the engine cuts Ferrari drove through the carnage and sneak past Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen Mercedes. He is on the edge of winning at Silverstone before he was caught by his new teammate, Carlos Sainz. 

​

It’s an upgradation from the last season, but still, a lot of ground for Ferrari to catch up. This lap happened because of not have a Top car but somehow, he made some outstanding miracles in his midfield Ferrari. 

​

Number Five on our list is Sergio Perez

​

What

​

This season we’re seeing Mexican-based Sergio in a refined version of his Red Bull Racing HONDA predecessors with a score of 118. 

​

He hit the heights of victory in Baku and on two major podiums in Monaco and France. This is the key for Red Bull to be in the commanding position but Sergio wasn’t at his best in the latest four races before the summer break. 

​

Why

​

In the initials of 2021, he in his difficult-to-handle car gave us some stellar performances. For instance, passing the muster within a half-a-tenth of the second of the pole at Imola illustrates the very fact that he knows his business really well. 

​

He kept his gears cool during a hectic final at Baku and gain his opening win for Milton Keynes-based team.

However, his slight letdown is not what the team needs when the battle with Mercedes for the top spot rages on. 

​

For some reason, Sergio is under pressure to rectify some of his aberrant mistakes. Moreover, he thought of a season of no racing but finds himself in the middle of Red Bull racing HONDA dynamic element. Thus, for him, there’s still room for improvement.  

​

Number four on our list is Lando Norris

​

What

​

This British-Belgian racing driver gave us some major vibes of intense potential in his McLaren Mercedes with an aggregate of 132. So far, he is presenting a real coming-of-age story.

​

F1 Fans thought for a second that after new teammate Daniel Riccardo join hands with McLaren, Norris would get in serious distress but nothing really happened. Instead, Norris crystallized his reputation as one of the prodigies of Formula 1 and become third in the Drivers' standings. 

​

Why

​

You can witness him in Podiums in Imola, Monaco, and Austria where he maintains his position. Not just that his dilatory commitment to McLaren encapsulate his faith that the team can holistically run a championship-challenging car. 

​

For that matter, Norris is the one to push his team closer to victory. His track record with a coopting nature of humility, wittiness, and charisma causes his fans to drool over him.

​

In this season there is just one race where he didn’t score decent. This is due to the fact that he was taken out by Bottas in Hungary from the very start. 

​

Unluckily he found himself in the epicentre of all the chaos at Turn One in Hungary. Every time his car has stayed in the upright notch, he has done very impeccable things with it. 

​

Number three on our list is Valtteri Bottas 

​

What

​

For sure Mercedes needed such a competent Finnish-based driver with a leading score of 141. Knowing the up-game of Red Bull, it is good that Mercedes have Bottas. His energetic performance is on record this year but he could not meet with Hamilton.

​

Why

​

Of course, he levelled up his team game when   Hamilton had off days in Monaco and Austria. He out-qualified his teammate on three varied occasions including a pole in Portugal but requires up his race craft to be in with a remote chance of keeping his seat. 

​

He fails to impress us in Emilia Romagna, Azerbaijan, and Hungarian Grand Prix due to his significant down average. 

​

Additionally, he consistently outpaced Red Bull’s number two Sergio but has failed to put himself in race-winning situations just like he did in 2020. He crashed in Hungary due to the pressure of rumours that George Russell is waiting to take his seat. 

​

Number two on our list is Lewis Hamilton

​

What

​

This British racing driver is second on our list because of his trailblazing performance and his competitive battle with Max Verstappen of Red Bull. 

​

Lewis with his Mercedes made a score of 221.5. He ingrained this much passion since he was a child by racing remote-controlled cars and beating adults to championships. 

​

He carried his achievement into karting and bravely stood in the row of the world’s potent drivers. 

​

Why

​

Before him, fans of sports motors thought that some records were never broken. But Lewis Hamilton hit the scene and knock down their thoughts. He is the only driver to record over 100 pole positions and is nearing the same triple-figure feat in race wins. Until, he’s showing no sign of slowing down, and with his latest battle with Max Verstappen reaching fever pitch, the legacy continues to be written.

​

His few miscues lead him to this point. Like, his fault in Baku took away his chance to make up 25 points on the Dutchman, and his off-form weekend in Monaco tilted down his trajectory.

​

Not just that his crash at Silverstone and his pit for dry tires in Hungary made his job far more difficult. But the way he recovered from these flaws our exceptional. 

​

These errors were salvaged by red flags or misfortune for his main title rival Verstappen. For that matter the next half of the season is exhausting and any further slip-ups could prove costly. 

​

But no matter what he is the benchmark racer of his generation. His triumph in Bahrain was magnificent and the final season was a clear hint to the whole paddock that he’s standard for excellence. 

​

Also, his patience and endurance in Spain, Barcelona Grand Prix were incredible.

​

He coped with the dirty air and closely follow Max in the race. Things got a little messed up when he became a bit aggressive in his battle with Max Verstappen at Silverstone.

​

Any guess who is on the top of the list? Well, you already know if you’re a Formula 1 racing lover. 

​

Max Verstappen

​

What

​

He is a Belgian-Dutch racer who with his extraordinary Red Bull Racing HONDA made a score of 226.5.

He is not the world champion now but who knows what the 23-year-old can do in near future, especially with Red Bull aiming to dethrone Mercedes as the top team in the sport and with the new rules and regulations set to come into effect in 2022. 

​

The Red Bull driver has not had an off-weekend, maximizing the potential during every session. Verstappen had never been in a title fight prior to 2021 and he's driven like a veteran, not making any noteworthy errors.

​

Why

​

He is the youngest driver to reach 10 wins which is a brilliant place. He has already proven his ability to get the absolute most out of his machinery, even when it may not be the best on the grid. The Dutchman came into the 2021 season as a more mature racer who does everything in his power to win. 

​

He did make some mistakes in Bahrain bypassing Hamilton on the outside of the track and then going wide in Portugal which cost him the pole. The failure occurred in Azerbaijan, Baku where his car’s tire blowout. He was taken out by both Mercedes drivers in the last two races before the break. And the tire burst one was not even his fault. If that wouldn’t happen, he may be leading the championship by 37 points more. 

​

Credit must also go to Red Bull’s strategists, who set up phenomenal races in Bahrain and France. In fact, he has yet to finish lower than P2 in a race where his car hasn’t been damaged in any major way.

​

But otherwise, he's been superb this season and has maximized the car he has got at every opportunity. 

​

Max has been as rapid over one lap and as fascinating as ever when wheel to wheel, but what’s more, he’s been remarkably consistent too, making very few, if any, errors at all.
