Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #22 Will Brown

As the 2024 Supercars season entered its final rounds, Will Brown carried the air of a driver whose tenure with the Triple Eight team could be measured in years, not months as was the reality.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #21 Pierre Gasly

Alpine’s struggles with an overweight and undercooked car at the start of 2024 hurt Pierre Gasly but, when the A524 started to improve, the Frenchman shone.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #20 Kalle Rovanpera

Kalle Rovanpera only contested seven WRC rallies in 2024, exchanging his title defence for a partial campaign to recharge his batteries and expand his horizons, but the two-time champion led them all.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #15 Joey Logano

Joey Logano is now a three-time Cup champion, becoming just the 10th driver to ever win that many titles. His season was an odd one in truth, but something we’ve come to expect from the Penske Ford man.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #11 George Russell

Qualifying was where George Russell gained an important edge at Mercedes in 2024, which he put down to his confidence rising in situations where the pressure is on. He ended up with a small but still significant 0.148s advantage over a driver with 104 F1 poles in Lewis Hamilton.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #9 Sho Tsuboi

For years, Sho Tsuboi has been regarded as one of Super GT’s premier talents, but it was only in 2024 that the Toyota driver achieved the success in Super Formula that his talent warranted after a switch from Inging to TOM’S.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #8 Kevin Estre

Maybe not the ace in the pack of the Porsche Penske Motorsport World Endurance Championship squad in year one of the 963 LMDh race programme, Kevin Estre came of age in 2024 when he had the car under him to do the business - and also, perhaps, when he didn’t!

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #5 Scott McLaughlin

Had it not been for Team Penske’s push-to-pass scandal that rocked the IndyCar Series and negated a third-place finish in the St Petersburg season-opener, Scott McLaughlin could very well have been crowned champion. The 31-year-old New Zealand native was a force in 2024, with a season that elevated him to…

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #4 Alex Palou

He didn’t produce the same level of dominance as last year, but the end result was the same: Alex Palou hoisted the Astor Cup Trophy for a third time in 2024.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #3 Lando Norris

Undoubtedly, his best Formula 1 season to date – with the statistics proving so. In 2024, Lando Norris finished as championship runner-up (his previous best finishing position was sixth in 2021 and 2023), he took four wins in breaking his GP victory duck (along with a sprint win too) and…

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #2 Charles Leclerc

If 2024 was a year when Ferrari made it clear exactly how much Charles Leclerc means to the team – signing him to a new contract and leaving Carlos Sainz exposed when Lewis Hamilton became available – then he too showed how much the Prancing Horse means to him.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #1 Max Verstappen

“A Schrodinger’s season for Max Verstappen. Concurrently his best and not his best.” That’s how we’ve described the world champion’s campaign in our Formula 1 driver rankings. And that’s because there are two ways of looking at Verstappen’s performance over the past months.

Red Bull's Lawson pick makes its Ricciardo experiment a waste of time

Let's recap the saga of Red Bull's second seat alongside Max Verstappen, shall we? It's a saga that, by all accounts, is gratuitously long and ends in a resolution that would be entirely predictable for a team with a 'normal' approach to the driver market.

Why Red Bull's Lawson pick renders its Ricciardo experiment a waste of time

Motorsport

Are there enough reasons to justify Lawson's Red Bull deal?
