If the Russian had presented these numbers against an experienced driver you could have understood it, but against another rookie this is just not good enough for F1. How much pain this will cause Haas will become clear especially in 2022 when the new car will be driven by these inexperienced drivers, but in 2021 it appears that the choice for Nikita Mazepin was remarkable. Haasĭrivers: Mick Schumacher and Nikita MazepinĪverage qualifying difference: 0.473s in favour of SchumacherĪhead of the 2021 Formula One season, Günther Steiner was ridiculed for wanting to put two rookies in the car. This actually says enough about Giovinazzi's talent. Kimi Raikkonen no longer has the speed over one lap that he used to, but at 41 he still mostly outperforms his younger teammate on Sunday. On Saturday, Antonio Giovinazzi's performance seems like a lot, but when you look at the numbers on Sunday, you can see why Frederic Vasseur is looking outside his own team as well. Alfa Romeoĭrivers: Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi RaikkonenĪverage qualifying difference: 0.343s in favour of Giovinazzi If Gasly isn't being seriously considered for Red Bull Racing then it's hard to imagine what Tsunoda will be doing at AlphaTauri in 2022 if his performance continues to be anything like this. Tsunoda has never qualified ahead of his teammate and has rarely impressed in the race. Yuki Tsunoda was hailed as a major new talent in Formula 1, but aside from a points score on debut, the Japanese driver has yet to live up to that status. AlphaTauriĪverage Qualifying Difference: 0.649s in favour of Gasly As a result, Leclerc has the upper hand at times, but Sainz' constant performance ensures that he is never far away from Leclerc on Saturday, and he is even ahead of the Monegasque in the points standings. The Spaniard continues where he left off at McLaren: scoring points every race. The Monegasque was seen as Ferrari's front runner and he will prove that status in Saturday's duel, but Carlos Sainz is proving to be a formidable competitor. Ferrariĭrivers: Charles Leclerc and Carlos SainzĪverage qualifying difference: 0.110s in favour of LeclercĬharles Leclerc might having a harder time of it this season than expected. During the qualifying in Russia (which was not included in the average because of rain) he was 1.6s faster than Ocon. In the races, he often finishes ahead of the Frenchman and on Saturdays, he is often faster. The Spaniard was happy for his teammate when he took a win, but Alonso has been able to bend the team to his will more and more. Alpineĭrivers: Fernando Alonso and Esteban OconĪverage difference in qualifying: 0.048s in favour of OconĪt the start of the season, Esteban Ocon looked like he was going to be the man at Alpine, but never discount Alonso. So either Stroll has made a huge step forward, or Vettel is continuing his lesser line at Ferrari and isn't really able to impress at Aston Martin either. Perez was on average three tenths faster in qualifying than the Canadian. Stroll has always been beaten by his teammates in recent years and usually by a wide margin.
Where that would normally be a good situation, you can now have your doubts. Aston MartinĪverage difference in qualifying: 0.002s in favour of StrollĪt Aston Martin, the difference in qualifying is the smallest of any team.

There's still room for improvement for someone with his CV, but for McLaren, this is an ideal situation, with two drivers who seem to be getting the most out of the car. He has won some qualifying, finished ahead of Norris in a number of races and has managed to reduce the average difference in qualifying to well over two tenths. Norris clearly had the upper hand at the start of the season, but the experienced Australian is coming back into the game more and more.
McLarenĪverage qualifying difference: 0.220s in favour of NorrisĪt McLaren, it's starting to look more and more like a duel throughout the season. For now, Sergio is still being outworked by his teammate, and the gap in qualifying and the race is simply too big. Bottas is always accused of being a simple second driver next to Hamilton, but Pierre Gasly, Alexander Albon and this year Sergio Perez show that it is not that simple. It is painfully clear from these statistics. That Red Bull Racing has a problem with their second driver. Average qualifying difference: 0.471s in favour of Verstappen
