What a weird list, but very personal. Loeb very overrated. In a WRC that declined vastly when he start winning, with easily the best car, with very weak competition. He would not have stood a chance in the 80's/90's WRC winning like that. Was all far to easy for him. Now if anyone says WRC was as st...

Lack of experience within a motorsport team a problem there for lack of understanding what I meant (No driver can develop the car on his own, really silly for you to think so) I'm happy to get you in the paddock at race weekend next year if want to meet? No problem, then an understanding of how thin...

He's just covering his tracks incase they start improving now he's left. He don't want to be blamed for the lack of progress at Ferrari and the lack of harmony in the team (Though he was one of the main reasons for that lack of harmony) I predict Ferrari will improve allot now he's gone, as they ju...

I seem to remember Lewis saying similar things about Mclaren in 2012. I think he was in a press conference with Perez, and he told him that the Mclaren for 2013 was going to be really fast. Well when Hamilton left Mclaren they did have the fastest car at that time, as for Alonso i think he is just ...

Impossible to say for sure. I don't think Rosberg was at his best. I just selected the drivers who I thought were at least as good as Rosberg. My selections presume that all the drivers drove at there maximum. Rosberg was at his very very best, peak of his performance, drove his socks off to the ma...

I think this will be his last year in a Mclaren. Button is one of the best guys there but Alonso will quite possibly make him look 3rd rate like does with all his team mates. I wouldn't be so super confident about that. Button is the toughest team-mate Alonso has faced since Hamilton. Forget about ...

At the start of the season I was so looking forward to the Williams mixing it up with the Mercedes but was hugely disappointed by what Massa and Bottas came up with generally. Only Ricciardo really drove another competitive car to its maximum to provide that external competition to Mercedes. Thank ...

Far to many excuses for Massa, Bottas easily beat him and the standings show it, Massa picked up second half of the season which he often does but thats it, to little to late, his race craft is terrible and he's to sloppy. So facts, Bottas easily beat him, no excuses on here people make can change t...

Swap RICCIARDO & ALONSO and the list looks right to me.

If you did this poll at the start of 2014, results would be very different.

Number 1 status for Alonso coming up, no doubt. I don't think he needs it. I bet he will just beat Button. Probably true, especially if that Honda powered McLaren is a tough one to handle. This is where Button could struggle and get demolished if so. Button really needs the car to be suited to him ...

Dennis has implied an immature Hamilton 'threw the first punch' (presumably Hungary quali...?). Dennis himself seems to have assured Alonso he would have special treatment but then went back on his word (presumably when he saw how fast Hamilton was). These things are nothing honourable or to be pro...

But Redbull pairing could be a dark horse... Honestly, I didn't see anything from Kvyat alongside Vergne that led me to believe he's going to cause Ricciardo any trouble right away. I'm not at all ruling out that he'll be able to match Ric eventually, but he was a lot further off from Vergne than R...

Mercedes easily, as we seen in 2014, long as car is there then they don't need anyone else with Hamilton. But Redbull pairing could be a dark horse... Button & Alonso, expect Alonso to easily beat Button because the car will probably be pretty awful to drive, and that's not going to favour Button at...

From 2003 onwards: 2006, 2008, 2009 I'd disagree with 2008. I know some say that the Ferrari was better because Kimi and Massa aren't good enough (which I also disagree with), but I don't think Hamilton was that much better that year. Kovalainen made him look better than he was and made the car loo...

Ferrari 348.

Best one anyway, others, Audi & a Skoda.

He outperformed Rosberg regularly in 2012, although reliability issues meant that the points didn't reflect it (it was worked out that, about a third of the way into the season, if Schumacher had just finished each race up until that point in the position he was in before various technical issues h...

But when he looked so good against Kimi in the same car, I thought he was good and even possibly WDC of the future. He never looked so good vs Kimi. He improved second half of season but that's because Kimi was driving an old car, Romain was getting all the new updates etc. And by the way overall K...

Damn accurate what he says, just how it is with Jenson.

I agree that '12 was one of Lewis' best seasons, and voted for '07 and '12. But even so, I have to point out that although Lewis was let down by Mclaren in '12 - Schumi suffered far more car failures both overall, and when the car was good! Its far from 'the worst that has ever happened to any driv...

Watching the 2009 season again reminds me how dominate the Brawn was for those first 7 races. They had the advantage. Button took advantage of it.

I would hate to see some young and promising driver win everything in GP2 and the next year wind up in the lowest-ranking Formula One team. For most it would be the kiss of death for their Formula One aspirations. Alonso & Ricciardo would disagree. Getting into F1 full stop, is the step in the righ...

2012/2014 of course. But people forget how well he drove in 2009 taking that car well beyond its true capacity. (Wrong type)

id remove 2012 Vettel and 09 Button from the list. I don't think either had the best car over the season. You could argue that as Mclaren didn't make a challenge then 2012 shouldn't count but 2009 has to count. The Brawn was not the best car through the season, Button just squeezed everything out o...

And I am a Lewis fan - the only evidence you have is the fact Lewis has partnered: Button, Nico, Alonso and beaten them . And again... :lol: Again what? Lewis beat Alonso when he was a little Rookie, and Alonso a reigning 2 x WDC. I'd say there are probably only 2 drivers (currently) you could give...

Having experience in motorsports teams, drivers do allot more than people realise, mainly simulator work. They give vital feedback on car upgrades (Designed upgrades from the designers) in the simulator. They don't just give feedback on car set-up, far from it, they play a vital role in helping the ...

Hamilton has shown he can beat Alonso already, in his rookie season which we seen some very rookie mistakes in the race events, now he's a much more complete driver when we hit race day, he's much more calm in his approach etc etc, and loves the challenge of a fast team mate challenging him, this se...

That comment made it obvious that they can, probably the same with every other team.

I wouldn't have classed Kimi as being easy really even though it turned out that way, i think there is something in it to say that perhaps Hamilton sometimes makes a meal out of decisively beating his teammates the way his talent should really allow him to, things have a tendency to conspire agains...

We have conclusively seen the following since 2007. - Alonso without doubt 0.3-0.5 per lap quicker than Massa over 4 seasons, 2 different tyre manufacturers - Alonso without doubt 0.3-0.5 per lap quicker than Raikkonen although only over 1 year. - Raikkonen and Massa very close on pace over three s...

Hamilton's 2011 season was a shock to me, for me he plummeted from the best driver in F1 to about 5th best, it has to be said he's been quite excellent since but he's still not quite back on the pedestal were i had placed him before He's been pretty much faultless this season, easily on a par with ...
