Castrol Rankings (rank drivers from all motorsports)
- Thread starter Duke
- Start date

Nothing new about it (other than Castrol's backing), can't remember what it used to be called but there have been similar lists for years.

It is a rolling 12 months, so the drivers have to stay good to be up there.
...Because he's the greatest
Erm, he's been spanked by every team-mate he's ever had, and his world title will always forever be tainted by its association with massive cheat Ross Brawn, who was the CHEATING Technical Director at both the CHEATING Ferrari and CHEATING Benetton teams.
Yes, if Ferrari were cheats, and Benetton were cheats, everything Brawn will ever touch in motorsport is suspect, especially his personally owned team.
Anyway, the lamb Hamilton is going to devour Mutton. Raw. You'll all be weeping tears for that fake king by mid-season, oh Hell yes.
Bit harsh. In his first couple of seasons he had vastly more experienced team mates. He did fine though after joining BAR. No matter what he achieves though, there will always be some that will keep knocking him. Its just the British thing to do I guess.
2nd half of buttons season was bad so how can he be top, if he is only there because he is f1 champ how does any driver in a different type get up there.
Have you even read how it works? Its weighted on series and performance across 12 months. F1 is pinacle of motorsport, so it makes sence being consistently good for the 12 months in the top series would put you at the top. Some guy who wins every race in his local kartin championship with mates from the pub wouldnt be comparible to an F1 driver.
But yes, it does seem like winning the F1 championship is going to stick you at number 1....

Button has been one of the most consistent drivers of the last 10 years really, just overshadowed by better teams. It's unfair to take away 2009 from him and 2010 will be the real test as the top teams should be a lot more competative and he's got a brilliant team mate to work with.

How do the rankings work?
Because Loeb is a better rally driver than Button is an F1 Driver.

In all, yes, but this ranking looks at the last 12 months only. And Loeb hardly dominated this years WRC did he.

Loving that reply.

I see, so the leader of the Castrol ranking will always be the last F1 champion.
Soldato
Good idea on theory but flawed for the arguments above, the F1 champ is likely to be top of the list.
you are obviously forgetting Villeneave (a former F1 champion - and Cart champ if I remember correctly), who got spanked by Button in his own team!!!
Maybe check your facts before looking like a mupppet
Just give him credit for Brazil - I think that race craft deserves utmost respect, considering the amount of sublime overtaking moves he made in one race (even Brundle and other pro's have said the same)
2nd half of the season wasnt helped by a comparatively terrible car that Brawn decided not to develope further - but of course thats irrelevant isnt it
