Destructor’s Championship

Not seen this before (although a subsequent PH search showed it was mentioned last year)

How much did each driver cost in terms of damage…

At least Perez came first at something.

Colapinto 3rd, he only did about 4 races!

With some hindsight Sargeant wasn't really that bad

Bloody hell that’s mighty impressive from Pierre Gasley, he did pretty much every session of the season and to cause £0 worth of damage is unbelievable.

In an article I’ve read elsewhere on the same subject, this is apparently the first time any driver in the history of the sport has survived an entire season without damage.

Impressive…

I mean to not even clip a front wing or get a front wing clipped is amazing. And not like he was just trundling along at the back on his own.

[Heathwood]

I’m very surprised there wasn’t any damage whatsoever from the incident with Ocon at Monaco.

The sad thing is that in the past this ability would mean something, it would earn you a lot of points as cars were relatively unreliable

It would be interesting to see how these costs are calculated; what they comprise.

There's obviously the material cost but unlike when you have a ding in your road car and need to send it to a specialist firm to have fixed, the teams all have the personnel and kit in place to make those repairs. So, there's a fair chunk of costs that have been incurred regardless of the need to use them to fix stuff.

Sadly with no "reject all" option for that website I won't look but I am surprised Sergio is top given the Williams, um, exploits...

Doesnt include engine changes and powerpacks etc.
Just means bodywork, rims, struts etc.

Both Williams were 2nd and 3rd!

[Defcon5]

Sergio’s bill includes the catering for the repair mechanics

Well that makes more sense.....

[FourWheelDrift]

Does Russell's include Antonelli's car destruction at Monza?

The fact they were gluing on old parts come the end of the season because they didn't have any more money or bits is mental.

Also, bravo Gasly. Seriously impressive especially with his late season form.

Caused by Ocon. Perhaps that's the tallying mechanism?

I'm surprised Alonso is above Stroll.

Also, impressively low from the McLaren's.

And I'm surprised by how low the Haases are as a team. Reinforces how good this season was for them.

I assumed it was just external damage on the drivers car regardless of fault.
