    Magnussen just because he is willing to wreck anyone that gets near his car, including his teammate. He's the worst out there in terms of being willing to punt somebody off and isn't fast enough for it to be of any benefit.
    Stroll doesn't belong in f1. He has one good race a year (Monza seems like) and the rest of the time is a backmarker.
    Not sure on the 3rd. Gio hasn't shown much until the last 2 races, Kubica is in the worst car on the grid by far and we know there's a lot of money involved in buying those drives which can come with being given better parts, so I'm not sure if he's really slower than Russell or is just getting the crap parts as Williams can't afford to build two sets.

    Something's up with the Red Bull - Albon in a Toro Rosso was almost on Gasly's pace and now Gasly in the Toro Rosso is almost on Albon's pace. They either went too far in the direction of Max's driving style or he's just one of those drivers that can take an edgy car that's fast and tame it (like Alonso) where those guys just can't.

    Agreed, Bas.

    Kubica, however, should be respected for his willpower to make it back into F1.

    While Kubi is definitely not fast, which I think is mostly down to his car, he by no means the worst. Nothing spectacular, but he's there in the middle. Not all can be Hamiltons and Leclercs.

    Not sure what names like Vettel, Magnussen, Hulkenberg and Bottras is doing on this list. Because even if one does not like their personality, they are not the worst.

    No doubt that I have a dog in this fight being Danish, but the inconsistency on the Haas is down to inconsistency with the car. To call those drivers useless, is just going way beyond reality. Sure it's a personal opinion, but still.

    Grosjean has been in F1 for a long time, and he's getting his ass handed to him by LANCE STROLL. If that's not useless, I don't know what is.

    The Haas drivers and Kubica

    Honorable mention goes to Claire Williams for helping drive her team into the ground.

    All these guys have F1 seats.

    It's not like Indycar, where you can point to a Milka Duno, who was a dangerous road block, on track.

    Vettel, for having best car and having some kid consistently beat him.

    Grosjean (whiner and crashes if the wind blows just the right way).
    Magnussen (loose cannon, unstable, yet his risks don’t lead to wins)
    Stroll (calls another drivers poor move “idiotic” than proceeds to make the exact same poor move 10 seconds later).

    It’s really easy to pick Kubica....but I’m not sure how much of his losses are due to the worst car on the circuit. His driving hasn’t been bad, he’s just been slow. Wish he got a chance in a better ride, like Alfa.

    Well the Alfas aren't looking much better than the Williams so I don't think that would help Kubica. If as someone said, the Williams are not giving their driver's equal cars, then I would be up for Kubica getting a second chance somewhere...but maybe not in F1 because there really isn't a spot for him. I think he should up his own challenge and try to get some time in an Indy car. The racing is close, and if he really has what it takes, he'll find a better chance to prove it there...and maybe be appreciated. Perhaps talking to Haas about it. If he does well in Indy cars, Haas might even invite him back to F1.

    Kubica doesn't have the upper body strength to drive Indycar--no assisted steering.

    If you know his injury, upper body strength is def. not the problem.

    My understanding is that he has limited strength and range of motion in one arm.

    Yes, but in his right forearm, not upper body.

    I wish I could have voted for Grosjean three times though.
