Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2016, 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 Nico Hülkenberg, Daniil Kvyat, Felipe Massa or Valtteri Bottas to name a few, its just only opinion folks.
Anyway, here is my list below.
My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2016:
10. Romain Grosjean (Haas) - Sixth place in the teams debut race in Melbourne, then a fifth place finish in Bahrain.
9. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) - On his day faster driver than his team-mate Vettel, which includes two second place finishes in Bahrain and Barcalona.
8. Fernando Alonso (McLaren) - Some impressive drives at Sochi, Montreal, Hunganoring and Spa; includes two fifth place finishes at Monaco and Austin were he finished on the lead lap.
7. Sergio Pérez (Force India) - Consistently fast and reliable this season, which include two third place finishes at Monaco and Baku.
6. Carlos Sainz, Jr. (Toro Rosso) - Some impressive performances this season, which include a sixth place finishes at Barcelona, Austin and Sao Paulo.
5. Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) - Three second place finishes in Shanghai, Montreal and Baku; should have won Montreal.
4. Max Verstappen (Toro Rosso/Red Bull) - Some impressive drives in his second season and despite his still only 18!, which include a Grand Prix win at Barcelona, becoming the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix!
3. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives despite an underpowered car includes four second place finishes in Monaco, Hockinheim, Spa and Singapore; and a Grand Prix win in Sepang, despite he should have won at both Barcelona and Monaco, to conclude with no DNF's all season.
2. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - A strong finish to the season with nine Grand Prix wins, just missed out on his fourth drivers' championship due to mid season errors, can regain title once again if his late season form continues into 2017.
1. Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) - Best driver on the grid this season, with nine Grand Prix wins this season to concluded with his first drivers' championship and last this season, going into early retirement with his own terms.
Overall, possibly one of the most dominating seasons in modern era Formula 1 with Mercedes taking nineteen out of twenty-one wins and eight one-two finishes, which makes the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid the most dominant F1 race car in Formula 1 History to conclude winning their third F1 Constructors' Championship in a row. While both Mercedes drivers challenge for the Drivers' title, where both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg took massive leads in a game of cat and mouse.
Both drivers battling to the last race of the season to the final lap of the season to conclude with Nico Rosberg winning the 2016 World Drivers' Title and his only F1 Drivers' title in his Formula 1 career becoming the second son of a former champion to win a world title goes into retirement leaving Formula 1 in his own terms. Formula 1 2016 will be remembered for drama and lots of it from the first lap of the season to the last lap of the season.
Bring on Formula 1 2017.
