F1 drivers S17 analysis

17.02.2016 - Here's a deep analysis of all F1 drivers in this season rated by total number of skills relevant to F1 racing summed up by importance (5x for mental and driving, 3x for technical and 1x for physical). Personal skills are added in brackets. Didn't add the special skills because virtually no one lost time training them and they're worthless for F1 so it's pretty redundant to count them in.
Also included a nice hex-graph fm style with the general skills of each driver, always liked those better than bars, and some other interesting info such as trained skills which assumes the driver started his/her career at the age of 18yo hence starting with 1040 skills already (counting specials and personal skills as well as the 90 free skill points). This is nothing more than an estimate though since each general skill can have up to 5 specific skills the trained skills value may vary +/-7. Keep in mind drivers start to lose skills at the age of 33, which means some drivers actually got more trained skills than the presented.

I'll leave the individual conclusions to you but it's interesting to see that many teams have similarly skilled drivers although this seems to fade away at lower skilled drivers.
McLaren seems to be the team with the best set of drivers and they still have some seasons left to improve although it's safe to say they won't be getting much better than what they are now.
OMR has a great driver first driver but Lamy falls short skill-wise although shows great potential. Williams is a bit more consistent with 2 drivers on the back of top10. The surprise driver goes to Dominik Dán from Ferrari which has a very impressive set of skills specially considering the rating of the team.
The best driver is without a doubt Paolo Grandi but without a matching car it's clear all that skill is, on the current season, being wasted. The same team has now a retired driver rendering the team virtually nonexistent in races.
At least Rocco Rapido, Guido di Rado and Novikov seem to be in range of Grandi's skill, although there are others who will probably get there too these will most likely be the next 3 top drivers using this analysis. Mind you driving and mental skills take considerably more time to train than any other skill, so having those 2 general skills well trained is literally half way through to max out every skill. In that regard, considering their age, Grosjean Jr and Lamy might be able to get there as well.
It's also curious to see many top teams swapping their long term drivers for younger prospects such as RB, Jordan and OMR.

Special thanks to Promocourse for having the idea to do this even though it needed some tweaks.
