Episode Notes
In the second instalment of our Driver Rankings podcast, Ben Anderson grills Edd Straw on how he ranked the drivers after the Monaco Grand Prix.
One driver's ranking proved particularly controversial to many people in The Race Members' Club - but does Edd agree that it's one of the boldest calls he's ever made?
Ben also challenges Edd on the rankings of Charles Leclerc and George Russell, gets Edd to explain how much penalties and driver luck feed into his decision making, and spotlights two drivers who he thinks could have been ranked very differently.
There's also a look at the updated driver rankings championship, with one driver in particular jumping several places up the order after Monaco.
If you want to take issue with Edd's ranking and have your viewpoint discussed on the show, sign-up to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today.
