F1 2024 driver ratings: Max Verstappen champion but Lewis Hamilton suffers worst year ever
With the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix over, Formula 1 is done and dusted for another year and this season will go down as one of the most eventful in history.
Before the racing had even begun, Sir Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari and the Christian Horner scandal rocked the sport, as did Adrian Newey’s stunning move from Red Bull to Aston Martin.
On the track, Max Verstappen claimed a fourth-consecutive drivers’ title, picking up nine wins along the way to hold off the surprise challenge of Lando Norris, but it was McLaren who secured the constructors’ championship – their first for 26 years.
Over the course of 24 races, 24 drivers – including seven race winners, four Brits, three rookies and two first-time victors – got behind the wheel. Who performed best and who needs to go back to F2?
