As part of the Grand Prix report in the UK magazine Autosport, Mark Hughes
awards marks out of 10 for each driver. He rates them on the whole weekend,
not just for the race, and winning (or finishing) the race doesn’t always
garner a high mark.


These were the driver ratings for the Nürburgring - points out of 10:

9 Räikkönen
8 M Schumacher, Montoya, Webber, Wilson, Button, Frentzen, R Schumacher,
Trulli
7 Alonso, Barrichello, Fisichella, Heidfeld, Panis, Verstappen
6 Coulthard, Firman, da Matta, Pizzonia
5 Villeneuve

Best of the season: Räikkönen (4), Wilson (5), Button (3), Frentzen (3),
Trulli (2) , Verstappen (6)

Worst of the season: Alonso, Coulthard (3), da Matta (2), Villeneuve

JV was looking like he might get the first token zero of the year.
Rotten in qualifying, rotten in the race., and clearly didn't want to be

These figures are based on opinions of Autosport staff, and therefore
have no basis in fact. Plus let's not forget that JPM writes a column
in Autosport, and these 'opinions' could be slightly generous towards
their collegue. Mr Fisher has have a whole plethora of statistical
facts that prove the opposite is closer to the truth.

Ugh! I feel dirty now! :-p
