Part 2 of Formula 1 2013 Season Review (Top Formula 1 drivers of 2013 and final thoughts of Formula 1 2013)

Second part of my Formula 1 2013 Season Review, this post will includes my top 10 Formula 1 drivers of 2013. And my final thoughts of Formula 1 2013.

Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2013, this is the part who was in my top 10 this season, not in championship order, not in championship order, so his list doesn't includes the likes of Jenson Button for example, its just only opinion folks. So here is my list below.



My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2013:

1.Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) - Best driver on the grid this season with his forth drivers' championship in a row.
2.Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) - Fast as ever, some great wins at Shanghai and Barcelona this season, but his has been too slow when needed, needs a faster car to challenge Sebastian Vettel next season.
3.Kimi Räikkonen (Lotus) - Impressive race win at Melbourne, back to Ferrari next season.
4.Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - A new challenge for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, still fast as ever, won brilliantly at Hungaroring, should have won at Silverstone, if the car stays faster next season he can win the drivers championship in 2014.
5.Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) - Some great results this season at Silverstone and Monaco, fast as his team-mate, but his Mercedes reliability has cost Nico Rosberg to beat his team-mate in the standings this season.
6.Mark Webber (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives at Silverstone, Suzuka, Sao Paulo and Sepang, should have won in Sepang with Multi21-gate, leaving Formula 1 at the end of the season to drive with Porsche in WEC in 2014, much missed.
7.Romain Grosjean (Lotus) - Six podiums at Bahrain, Nurburgirng, South Korea, Suzuka, India and Austin was impressive, could have won at Suzuka, a much better season from the former GP2 Champion.
8.Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber) - some impressive drives at Monza, South Korea and Suzuka, back at Force India next season.
9.Paul di Resta (Force India) - Some impressive drives at Bahrain, Monaco, Montreal, and Abu Dhabi fast driver as usual, could be his last season for a while
10.Fillipe Massa (Ferrari) - Impressive drives at Melbourne and Barcelona, but not enough to keep his Ferrari drive in 2014, off to Williams in 2014.


Overall, possibly one of the most dominating seasons I have seen in Formula 1, thirteen wins from Sebastian Vettel matching Michael Schumacher record form 2004. Also matching Alberto Ascari's nine race wins in a row, which could be ten in a row at Melbourne at the start of next season if that happens, to give Sebastian Vettel his forth F1 drivers titles in a row and only two other drivers have done that achievement (Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio name the others) another constructors championship from Red Bull. Bring on Formula 1 2014.



End of the two part posts of this seasons F1 review. A new shorter post soon. Bye.
