Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2018, 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, Carlos Sainz, Jr. or Pierre Gasly to name a few, its just only opinion folks.
Anyway, here is my list below.
My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2018:
10. Kevin Magnussen (Haas) - Consistently fast and reliable this season, which include two fifth place finishes at Bahrain and the Red Bull Ring.
9. Sergio Pérez (Force India) - Consistently fast and reliable this season, which include a third place finish at Baku.
8. Nico Hülkenberg (Renault) - Consistently fast and some impressive drives at multiple Grand Prixs'; includes an impressive fifth place finish at Hockenheim at his home Grand Prix.
7. Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) - On his day faster driver than his team-mate Hamilton, multiple second place finishes, should have won Shanghai and Baku only for bad luck to intervene, should have won in Sochi only team-orders had to intervene.
6. Charles Leclerc (Sauber) - Consistently fast in his first season, which include sixth place finish at Baku.
5. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives despite an underpowered and unreliable car includes a Grand Prix wins at Shanghai and Monaco.
4. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) - On his day faster driver than his team-mate Vettel, which includes a Grand Prix win at Austin.
3. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) - Some impressive drives in his fourth season, which includes two Grand Prix wins at the Red Bull Ring and Mexico.
2. Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) - Five Grand Prix wins, lead the Drivers' Championship for most of the season until Hockenheim, needs a much faster Ferrari going into 2019 to challenge both titles'.
1. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - Best driver on the grid this season, eleven Grand Prix wins, to concluded with his fifth Drivers' World Championship.
Overall, possibly one of the most entertaining seasons in modern era Formula 1, a season for Mercedes had to fight to win both champions as Ferrari were contenders to both titles. In the end Mercedes once again took all the glory taking eleven out of twenty-one wins and four one-two finishes to conclude winning their fifth F1 Constructors' Championship in a row.
For the Drivers' Championship, a Drivers' Championship that Sebastian Vettel should have won until the German Grand Prix. Where his championship fell apart with an error on his home race; giving Lewis Hamilton the race win and the championship lead and then winning the next six races out of seven, while Vettel managing just one race win. Resulting Lewis Hamilton to win his this seasons Drivers' Championship with eleven wins to give Lewis Hamilton his fifth F1 Drivers' title and becoming the third driver in Formula 1 history to join Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher to win five or more F1 Drivers' Titles to conclude Formula 1 in 2018.
Bring on Formula 1 2019.
