What are Redditors

’ awards?

• Since the Monac o GP 2016, I’ve been polling the r/formula1 community to i dentify the best/worst driver and

team of the day after each race

•

The goal of these polls was to:

–

Get a better sense of how the different drivers and teams fare, race after race

– Obtain a (hopefull y!) more me aningful outcom e than the FOM’s DOTD awar ds

Major challenges

• A fair amou nt of “hate votes” or “love votes”, independent from the dri vers’ performa nce. To

-

date, I haven’t found a solution to this, but I unfortunately don’t think there is any

•

Because these polls are subjective, it would often occur that the same driver/team would be high up in both

“Best” and “Worst” ratings. To address this, I ’ve adopted a methodology similar to the “Net Promoter Score” one: each “Best” vote equals to a +1, while each “Worst” vote equals to a

-1. The ranking is t hen displayed

on a single list, from the highest (“Hot”) to the lowest (“Not”) score

This presentation

• After nine races, I’ve decided to produce an overall rankin g, averagin g each driv er’s / team’s rating for all

races from Monaco to Italy. The number of votes is not taken into account

• I hope you’ ll enjoy these re sults and their interpretation. Feel free to reach out with any sug gestions to

improve the polls / analysis in t he future, and I look forward to reading your thoughts based on these results! ( paul.ricard@gmail.com )
