Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2014, 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 Sergio Pérez or Kimi Räikkonen for example, its just only opinion folks. But, before I start an honourable mention to Jules Bianchi who's not on the list, but was in the mid-season review, as he scored two points in Monaco, and some impressive qualifying and races this season. And hoping for a quick recovering for the former Marussia driver.
Anyway, here is my list below.
My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2014:
10. Kevin Magnussen (McLaren) - A second place finish in his debut race, and as fast in some races as his much experience team-mate Jenson Button; sadly back as a reserve driver at McLaren next season.
9. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) - Only four podiums in 2014, unreliable and underpowered Renault power unit has cost Sebastian Vettel to defend his title this season, still fast as ever, off to Ferrari in 2015.
8. Jenson Button (McLaren) - Consistently fast and reliable this season despite a slow car from McLaren this season.
7. Fillipe Massa (Ferrari) - Impressive drives at Monza, São Paulo and possibly winning the races at Montreal and Yas Marina this season, can win races in 2015 if Williams gives him the right car.
6. Nico Hülkenberg (Force India) - Consistently fast and reliable this season, and impressive drives at Sepang, Bahrain, Monaco and Yas Marina this season.
5. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) - Fast as ever, consistent, some great race performances at Shanghai and Hungaroring this season, despite having a very slow car this season, back to McLaren for next season.
4. Valtteri Bottas (Williams) - Impressive second season in Formula 1, which includes impressive drives at the Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, Hockenheim and Sochi.
3. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - Some great wins at Montreal, Hungaroring and Spa this season, out-performing his four times world champion Sebastian Vettel, and if Red Bull and Renault gives him a reliable and fast car next season, his got a change of winning the drivers' championship in 2015.
2. Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) - Despite losing out to Hamilton to the drivers' championship this season, it was coming of age season for Rosberg of that he can challenge the top drivers for titles in years to come.
1. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - Best driver on the grid this season with Eleven Grand Prix wins to concluded with his second drivers' championship this season.
Overall, possibly one of the most dominating seasons I have seen from a team in Formula 1, sixteen out of nineteen wins and eleven one-two finishes, which beaten the records from the 1988 season, which makes the Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid the most dominant F1 race car in Formula 1 History to give Mercedes their first ever Constructors' Championship. While both Mercedes drivers challenge for the Drivers' title and both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg took the title battle to the last race of the race to conclude with Lewis Hamilton winning the 2014 World Drivers' Title and his second F1 Drivers' title in his Formula 1 career. Bring on Formula 1 2015.
End of the two part posts of this seasons F1 review. A new shorter post soon. Bye.
