With the 2017 Formula One season now complete, which drivers looked great and which teams didn’t measure up? Here are the post-season driver grades.

The 2017 Formula One season has officially ended with the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

How do the seasons of each of the 20 Formula One drivers who ended the season as full-time drivers grade since the 2017 season is now completely in the rearview mirror?

We’ll start with the drivers who drove for the Ferrari teams before moving on to the drivers who drove for the Honda teams and then the drivers who drove for the Mercedes teams before wrapping up with the drivers who drove for the Renault teams.

Ferrari drivers

In the 20 races of the 2017 Formula One season, Marcus Ericsson finished no higher than 11th place and thus scored a total of zero points. He had a season to forget for sure and may very well lose his ride in 2018.. Sauber. Ferrari. MARCUS ERICSSON. F

Ferrari. PASCAL WEHRLEIN. F. Pascal Wehlein performed better than his Sauber teammate Marcus Ericsson did with two top 10 finishes. However, he finished the 2017 Formula One season equally as poorly down the stretch with no points in the final 12 races.. Sauber

D. Kevin Magnussen finished in the top 10 just five times in the 2017 Formula One season, and he finished no higher than 7th place even though he managed to finish 15 of the season’s 20 races.. Haas. Ferrari. KEVIN MAGNUSSEN

D. Romain Grosjean was forced to retire in just three of the 20 races in the 2017 Formula One season, and he racked up eight top 10 finishes in the 17 races he finished. However, he was unable to finish in the top 5 at all.. Haas. Ferrari. ROMAIN GROSJEAN
