Ranking EVERY 2024 F1 Driver's Debut Race!

2024 has been a unique year in Formula 1 in that the grid that started 2024 is exactly the same as the one that ended 2023. Clearly the teams didn’t feel like getting rid of their drivers any time soon, and in most cases there’s good reason for that. The current grid features a mixture of experienced veterans, young’uns still to fulfil their full potential, and miscellaneous. Today, we’re going to rank every 2024 Formula 1 driver by their debut race, not just how they performed, but how the weekend went as a whole; whether they had bad luck with mechanical problems, got penalised, or got caught up accidents that weren’t their fault. There’s quite a variety here, so let’s get started.

That Alonso bit looking at every driver in 2001 has me in fucking tears 😂😂😂😂

[davebowman]

Logan honestly looked real strong in his first few race weekends. I think he mentally couldn't handle the pressure of F1. He was rushed into F1, had a lot of crashes, and wasn't physically fit for a f1 season. This all took it's toll and he just got worse as time went on and without much support/faith from Williams, it makes a lot of sense. Logan is a talented driver but was rushed and couldn't handle the pressure of f1. I guarantee if he does go to indycar, he will be a contender for the championship by his 2nd year.

OMFG that Verstappen bit in the Alonso segment killed me. How can anything be this sad and this funny at the same time?

[tobbividars]

Kevin Magnussen also scored the most points on debut in F1 history!

[mitchdesertsquiddogaming]

Man, that Alonso segment was just classic Peter Brook banter there, also laughed at the end of Sargent’s segment too. 😂

[ibrahimali]

i like how kevin magnussen scored a podium in his first race and never score a podium again

[maciejojewski]

Zhou's debut race was insane, from 19th to 9th, while literally everyone was hating on him and saying he doesn't deserve the seat. I wish we could see more of him like this, damn you Sauber for giving him a tractor this year

[filipnielsen]

I would switch Kevin and Lewis. Kevin had a worse car and a better result. Also had a cleaner race than Lewis. Pretty solid list still

[FelixLotus]

Damn, this section where or what 2024 grid doing in 2001 is crazy💀💀💀

[matthewhollandf]

peter, i would like to say thank you very much for making this video and for liking my idea. it means a lot

[RANDOMZBOSSMAN]

To put Alonso career length into perspective when he made his debut was the last time an Argentine was on the grid before Colapinto

He was the only current driver to have raced an Argentine in F1 before the last race

Alonso and also Hamilton have been around for so long they’ve raced in categories with backing from tobacco companies Alonso with Mild Seven in F1 and Hamilton with Marlboro in GP2 and also won races like the Marlboro masters of Formula 3

[ouilson]

"Esteban Ocon was enjoying a peaceful, financially stable childhood in a house that didn't have wheels" DAMN

[vaclavskarda]

Magnussen debut>Hamilton debut, their careers afterwards don't matter K-Mag did it in a car that had no place on a podium...

[Jules]

Dude Fernando’s segment just actually hit me, like bros career is longer than my life by like a good 2 & 1/2 years 😭😭😭 also I loved that whole segment 😂

[nateschell]

Sergeants first race placement (p12) was his 5th best career placing race

[pepismaniguess]

14:50 whos the girl in the bA.... OH MY GOD ITS BRENDON HARTLEY

[blackoutmedia]

Honestly I'd put KMag over Lewis given KMag reached the podium in a midfield McLaren.

[Duval-In-The-Wall]

Magnussen’s debut was something else man, he’ll always have that

[Duval-In-The-Wall]

I did not expect the Sargeant bit “where the fuck was this everywhere else” 😂

[ValeX_]

7:56 Perez was in the FERRARI JUNIOR Accademy!?
