    A bit late but…

    1. Hamilton. Don’t like him particularly but it was impressive how he stepped up after the summer break.
    2. Alonso. Comfortably beat a very good teammate and dragged the Mclaren to seemingly impossible heights.
    3. Sainz. Controversial choice yes, but he punched far above his weight in the Toro Rosso. I think he could win a race next year.
    4. Verstappen. Much better than Ricciardo if you look closely, but some of his drives from the back were massively overrated given the advantage the top 3 teams have.
    5. Vettel. Mostly very good, but did himself a lot of harm with some stupid incidents.
    6. Perez. The fact that Ocon doesn’t have as much experience shouldn’t disguise the fact that Perez was still the superior of the two. Possibly denied a win in Baku by his teammate’s clumsiness. I think he’ll increase his advantage next year.
    7. Ocon. Good, but not quite as good as everyone seems to be saying. The jury’s still out on his star potential in my opinion.
    8. Ricciardo. The season looks good on paper but on closer examination he should be worried.
    9. Massa. Destroyed Stroll in qualifying.
    10. Hulkenberg. I’ve always thought he’s overrated and this season is no different. Looked good against a very poor driver in Palmer but as soon as Sainz turned up he was on his pace. If I was Nico I’d be worried about next season.
    11. Raikkonen. Slightly unlucky in that he had to play second fiddle to Vettel but if he’d been competitive enough, then he wouldn’t have had to.
    12. Vandoorne. Overcame a difficult start in a poor car against probably the best driver on the grid to put in some fine showings later in the year.
    13. Bottas. Decent at times but very poor after the summer break. Not combative enough and a very uninspiring appointment by Mercedes.
    14. Wehrlein. Had some fine performances but Ericsson was a little close for comfort.
    15. Magnussen. Inconsistent but also unlucky when compared to Grosjean.
    16. Grosjean. Occasional good performances but a lot of moaning and his biggest haul came on a weekend when Magnussen was quicker but stymied by mechanical trouble.
    17. Ericsson. Not as bad as everyone says, but not great either. Every year people predict he’s going to get destroyed, but he’s always been competitive. Got to respect him for that I suppose.
    18. Stroll. Some great performances but abysmal in qualifying. Whoever gets the Williams seat won’t be too worried about facing him I don’t think.
    19. Kvyat. Okay in qualifying but nowhere in the races. I would like to see him back at some point because he has genuine talent, but got destroyed by Red Bull.
    20. Palmer. Awful.

    George Russell and Lando Norris certainly will be in F1 by 2020 at the latest, other than that I don’t think any of the current crop stand much of a chance. Rowland is average, Ticktum should have been banned for life, and the likes of Jordan King haven’t done enough. To be honest though despite being British I don’t really care whether a driver happens to have the same flag next to his name.
