  • 2023 Formula 1 Mid-Season Review

    Hullo and welcome to a Summer Break Special! Ellie-May and Jesse have sat down and done some marking and assigned all 21 drivers in this year’s championship a grade! It’s the mid-season review!

    Scoring off the grades is as follows: A* = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7, B = 6, C+ = 5, C = 4, D = 3, E = 2, F = 1. So with that, let’s crack on with some marking! Oh and pay no attention to how bunged up Jesse sounds, he picked up something on the flight back from Croatia. Muppet.
