One of the big conversation you hear on the various F1 podcast during the summer break is reflection on how the new drivers have adapted to the cars. So I started thinking how can you analytically look at.

I propose that as a new driver settles in, he will have finishes that on average will be similiar to his teammate. Therefore you can compare their progress. With normalization the key would be:

= 1.0 --Driver is putting matching his teammate in perforance
<1.0 -- Driver is worse than his teammate
>1.0 -- Driver is better than his teammate

Initially I was just going to look at Perez, Danny Ric, Sainz and Vettel but decided to do it for all teams.

The AVERAGE teammate is 80%
