Fan-F1 rankings

World champion in 2008, Lewis Hamilton is also the champion of consistency as he finishes at the top of the Motors Inside ranking, which measures the drivers’ consistency over the entire season.

He totals 316 points, while his closest pursuers, the BMW-Sauber drivers, are far behind with Heidfeld ahead of Kubica with 296 and 290 points, respectively. Next, we find the two Ferrari drivers in 4th and 5th position. Massa has been more consistent than Räikkönen, with 19 points separating them (284 versus 265).

Alonso retains his 6th place at the expense of Kovalainen in 7th, while Trulli and Webber are 8th and 9th with 225 and 218 points respectively. The only change in this ranking this week is Glock moving ahead of Rosberg thanks to a strong performance in Brazil. They are now 10th and 11th with 204 and 202 points.

Vettel halts his climb in 12th position with 189 points. He is followed by Nakajima. Coulthard leaves Formula 1 with a retirement and a 14th place in the Motors Inside standings.

The Frenchman Sébastien Bourdais managed to hold off Button. The Brit is just a point behind the Toro Rosso driver (150 to 149). Barrichello and Piquet are 17th and 18th ahead of the Force India drivers who are far behind with only 92 and 43 points for Fisichella and Sutil.

Reminder of the importance of this ranking:

There is indeed an official ranking in Formula 1 that allocates points based on the importance of the positions achieved, that is with a decreasing scale of two by two for the top three positions. 10 points for the winner, 8 for the second, and 6 for the third.

This scoring system only rewards the drivers who finish in the top eight; drivers regularly in the top 10 (for example, 9th and 10th) are never recognized, even though those positions are almost as important as an eighth position which typically awards a point.

To set things right, casinoenligne.uk.com invents the consistency ranking: Each driver receives a point according to their reverse order of finish, provided they have crossed the checkered flag. In case of retirement, they receive no points. The first receives 22 points, the second 21, the third 20, and so on… The 22nd, if there is one, will receive just one point.

In the end, we obtain a ranking based on the finishing position in each race, showing the consistency of each participant and rewarding the driver for the work they contribute to the team, not just their position.
