Take your pick and stick it down:

1st:
2nd:
3rd:
4th:
5th:
6th:
7th:
8th:
9th:
10th:

Special mention:
 
1st: Alonso
2nd: Vettle
3rd: Hammilton
4th: Kimi
5th: Jenson
6th: Hulk
7th: Webber
8th: Perez
9th: ?
10th:?

Special mention: To both Rosberg & Mandando for their maiden wins.
 
1st: Lewis
2nd: Vettel
3rd: Alonso
4th: Kimi
5th: Webber
6th: Hulk
7th: Kamui
8th: Perez
9th: Maldonado
10th: Schumacher

Special Mention: Button and Grosjean, both quick just far too inconsistent and both got destroyed by their team mates this year with the best cars of the season. When the car got worse it was Lewis or Kimi that picked up the pieces while they would fail to get into the points of just crash into everybody. Both just get beat by Schumacher to 10th in my opinion.
 
1st: Hamilton
2nd: Alonso
3rd: Vettel
4th: Kimi
5th: Hulk
6th: Button
7th: Perez
8th: Maldonado
9th: Webber
10th: Rosberg for the first half and Massa for the second half of the season.

Special mention: To Hulk again for proving how Dire Di Resta was/is!
 
1-Alo - Outstanding this season.
2-Vet - Has the ability to push in the field and lead the pack to perfection.
3-Ham - Some exceptional performances inlcuding Qualifying this season.
4-Rai - The car has been great, and the performance has been there also.
5-Hul - A potential great IMO.
6-Msc - Terrible luck and a couple of incidents, other than that he has defended very well, inc. pole in Monaco and wet weather Quali's.
7-Perez - Another future star.
8-Mal - Out driven the Williams on many occasion.
9-Button - Changing conditions have been an ease for Button.
10-Massa - Challenged Alonso on some occasions, and the way the team is structured, that is something very good.
 
  1. Alonso
  2. Vettel
  3. Hamilton
  4. Raikkonen
  5. Button
  6. Hulkenberg
  7. Schumacher
  8. Webber
  9. Rosberg
  10. Perez
Special Mention to Kobayashi who just misses out and Massa for the strong half of the year (although his first was far to bad for him to make the list)

Just on another note how the hell can anyone put Maldonado in their top ten. Some great pace but it means nothing if you crash out. Top 10 fastest almost certainly, but maximizing race day results is a big part of being the "best driver" and he did that twice out of 20 races. Both Williams cars should have scored 100 points IMHO, so that makes it a big failure for both him and Senna.

  1. Same reason why I find it amazing why somebody would put Jenson in the top 5 with having the best car for a majority of the season and very often failing to use it unlike his team mate who was in the title fight most of the way, opinion.

Yeah obviously there all opinions it wasn't meant as a criticism more of wondering why it seems such a popular choice and hoping for a reason since i'd have put him about 19th. With Button i'm aware its looks a little high, but i think past the big 4 there was a big gulf in quality to the rest. My reasoning was that everyone below that was patchy at best and im struggling to imagine any of them would have scored more points in his place. Might edit Hulkenberg above him.

Ignore what I say about your list, you believe what your choice is and I wouldn't want to change that because that would be wrong of me to do so.

Whats the point of things like this if not to have some kind of discussion as a result?

I didn't say we shouldn't discuss it I just gave you an answer to your question why some people put in Maldonado in their top 10. No attack on your list, just pointing out it's an opinion *shrugs* what do you expect etc...

Nothing against your list of course, just like I said, giving you an answer to your question, sorry if it wasn't the one you were after. I'm sure someone else here will give you it though <ok>

Valid point Silver. However, that got me thinking, how could any of us put Webber in the top ten then? I question my own list now!
