I don't think Gasly belongs on that list. He had only 1/2 a season in the Red Bull going up against Max when he was demoted to Alpha Tauri. Whilst at Alpha Tauri, he punched above his weight by not only getting a race win at Monza, but 3 podiums and beating every teammate he had.
He then went to Alpine and in his first year beat Ocon on points and scored a podium at Zanfoort. This year, the car has been horrible, but managed to score a point in Monaco. To me, Pierre is an underrated driver.

They need a few characters in the mix. The new generation of drivers are too polished and media driven. I guess Eddie Irvine, Jacques Villineuve, and Kimi types are a dying breed. Bottas seems to be sort of like those guys. Yuki to an extent.

French-German driver lineup for Audi seems right, maybe. Toto probably lined something decent up for him, think he's still mgr.

I don’t think Ocon’s driving skills are his worst attribute. He’s a race winner. His issues center around his maturity, emotional intelligence, and situational awareness. He’s grossly lacking in these areas. Any of his current or former F1 teammates would likely agree.

I was pulling for Herta in the Detroit race. Unfortunately he was taken out of contention by a bad tire strategy call, followed by a driver mistake. That race was his to lose… and he did.
