Part 2 of Formula 1 2015 Season Review (Top Formula 1 drivers of 2015 and final thoughts of Formula 1 2015)

Second part of my Formula 1 2015 Season Review, this post will includes my top 10 Formula 1 drivers of 2015. And my final thoughts of Formula 1 2015.



Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2015, 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 Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Carlos Saniz Jr., Nico Hülkenberg, Romain Grosjean or Felipe Nasr to name a few, its just only opinion folks.

Anyway, here is my list below.

My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2015:

10. Felipe Massa (Williams) - Fast as ever, consistent, some great race performances at Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, and Monza this season, despite having a faster team-mate.

9. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) - On his day faster driver than his team-mate Vettel, a second place finish in Bahrain, and two third place finishes in Singapore and Abu Dhabi.

8. Daniil Kvyat (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives despite an underpowered car in Monaco, Mexico and Hunganoring, with the later finishing in second place in that race.

7. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives despite an underpowered car in Monaco, Hunganoring and Singapore; with the later finishing in second place in that race.

6. Sergio Pérez (Force India) - Consistently fast and reliable this season, and impressive drives at Spa, Soshi, Austin and Abu Dhabi this season, with an impressive third place finish at Soshi.

5. Valtteri Bottas (Williams) - Some impressive drives at Bahrain, Montreal, Soshi and Mexico, with two third place finishes in Montreal and Mexico.

4. Max Verstappen (Toro Rosso) - Some impressive drives in his rookie season and despite his still only 18!, which include a fourth place finishes at Hunganoring and Austin.

3. Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) - A strong finish to the season with five wins, missed out on the drivers' championship due to Hamilton's mid season pace, nonetheless can be fast than his team mate if his late season form continues into 2016.

2. Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) - Back to winning ways with three race wins this season at Sepang, Hunganoring and Singapore.

1. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - Best driver on the grid this season with eleven Grand Prix wins to concluded with his third drivers' championship this season.

Overall, possibly one of the most dominating seasons in modern era Formula 1, eleven wins from Lewis Hamilton to give Lewis Hamilton his third F1 drivers title and becoming the first British F1 driver to win back to back drivers' titles. While Mercedes once again taking sixteen out of nineteen wins and twelve one-two finishes. Upping the records from 2014 to give Mercedes another constructors championship to conclude Formula 1 in 2015. Bring on Formula 1 2016.
