Andrew’s F1 Rankings
Andrew Freeborn has created a website that displays an algorithmic ranking of all Formula One drivers by their career success. In Andrew’s words:
“I wanted to be as inclusive as possible, so I landed up devising a system that allocates points to all starters of every race, on a scale that is heavily weighted towards the top end of the field. Then I normalise each set of race scores to account for the fact that not all races have the same number of competitors. Then I sum each driver’s race scores and divide the result by their number of starts, plus a correction factor that gives a small advantage to drivers with longer careers, but penalises those who partook in only a handful of races quite heavily. This mitigates the effect of “one hit wonders” who would otherwise dominate the rankings.”
See if you agree with his results here: https://formula1.andrew.co.za
