    The laps where the driver absolutely nailed every inch of the lap, dragged 100% of the cars performance out and no other driver on the grid could have matched him in that moment.

    Which were the top 5 perfect laps of the year?

    Off the top of my head with no research:

    1. Schuey - Monaco (Unexpected)
    2. Jenson - Spa (The perfect driver/car/lap)
    3. Alonso - Hockenheim (Mixed conditions)
    4. Vettle - Austin (New track and a mix of power and downforce requirement. Him & Lewis were class of the field by half a second)
    5. Lewis - Interlagos (Only beat Jenson by a tenth but a track that Mclaren have rarely maximised in recent years it was a very fast time in difficult conditions)

    Special Mention: Lewis - Barca (I know he was underfuled but you could have put another 5 laps in and he would have still had pole!)

    1. Rosberg: Shanghai (absolutely faultless lap)
    2. Alonso: Silverstone (very difficult conditions)
    3. Button: Spa (in a class of his own the entire quali)
    4. Maldonado: Barcelona (no-one expected that!)
    5. Ricciardo: Sakhir (great work in a sucky car, unfortunately lost it early)

    1: Lewis at Hungary, was all by himself all week.
    2: Seb at Canada, car still bit of a mess and upgrades bought in were banned.
    3: Alonso at Britain, quality considering the weather changing all the time.
    4: Schumacher at Monaco, same as smithers.
    5: Seb at Austin, was almost flawless against Lewis who was also quick.
