    This wasn't a banner year for newcomers. I'll give the nod to Logan Sargent for simply completing the full season with Williams. I'll be curious to see if he shows any improvement in '24.

    Does Oscar count as a 'rookie', having previously been a reserve driver ?

    Can't stand the way they are constantly on the radio tatling about what other drivers are doing or not doing.

    Three drivers made their in-race debuts in 2023. Lawson and Sargeant
    had each previously appeared F1 in practice sessions; Piastri had not,
    although he had had 1-day tests with Alpine and McLaren. If any of the
    three was a "rookie" it was Piastri; I'd count all three, with Piastri obviously RotY.
