Hamilton is still too low on pace, should be at least 92 judging by his performance in the season (he won Silverstone AND Spa!), Verstappen has too high pace when you consider that he has 3 more than Norris but lost multiple times in a row to the young Brit in real life, therefore should be MUCH lower (88 bare maximum), and the rest is fine, I guess.
As long as neither Sargeant nor Ricciardo see the same fate as de Vries in the last game, it's all good.
I appreciate how hard these are to do and being subjective few will disagree with all of them. And then the difference in car performance also factors in.
I guess I’m alway surprised at how much these numbers matter to people, along with car performance. I just sort view them all as close enough approximations and roll with it.
@Meza994I have established in F1 Manager 24 that a bona fide driver like Verstappen can make the absolute worst car in the grid score a point or two, and that's fine with me.
But when your car is clearly better than anyone else and you're not winning several times in a row like last year, you don't deserve a super high pace rating. Verstappen in the best car plus with the highest pace rating is basically F1 2021 all over again, and you know how OP he was in said game.
If this was F1 23, where the Red Bull and Verstappen were far above everyone in real life, I would understand what you mean. But ever since Silverstone 2024, Verstappen hasn't won one time while McLaren storm their way to the front.
Heck, I would even dare to say that even Oscar Piastri needs to have more pace than Verstappen has. That man is a machine. ❤️
