I have limited knowledge of how video games rate things. I'd hope experience gets less weighting than the others.
However the EA list seems reasonable. A few I'd have a few points lower, a few higher.

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2023 Spanish Grand Prix
Why Russell ahead of Hamilton for those who have gone that way? Anyone? I know Russell started 12th and finished 3rd, but Hamilton seemed to have him covered for pace today. The gap when Russell got ahead of Alonso was about 4.5s and then it grew to 10s by the end of the second stint. Russell then ...

Re: Alonso & Verstappen on almost equal stats
As said Norris is a hard driver to rate exactly where he is. He might be the best driver in F1, but equally he might be the 5th or 6th. I'm happy to say Norris might be an elit driver, but it's a very hypothetical take at this point in time to say he betters Verstappen. Verstappen has let a few thin...

Re: Alonso & Verstappen on almost equal stats
I rate Verstappen in the elite band and I think his form has been outstanding - but I don't think he is the second coming or head and shoulders above the rest of the grid. However in order to better his stats these past 2.5yrs it would require an elite driver to be nearly perfect as there isn't much...

Re: Alonso & Verstappen on almost equal stats
29 of Verstappens wins have came in the last 2 1/4 seasons. Barring a handful of races, and some questionable driving, his run of form has been as good as anything I remember.
Although, to be fair, Alonso has never held a hand that's allowed to rack up stats quickly.

However I agree with Fiki, the lions share of Red Bull dominance isn't down to a slight overspend in budget.
