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.
