The top 10 FR3.5 drivers of 2010

AUTOSPORT ranks the top 10 drivers of an extremely close-fought Formula Renault 3.5 season

10. Brendon Hartley

A year that promised much for the talented Kiwi was marked by a mid-season split from the Red Bull Junior programme. Overshadowed by rookie Tech 1 team-mate Ricciardo (who out-qualified him 7-4), there were still days when Hartley shone; such as at Spa where a challenge for victory ended with electrical failure, and at Monaco where he posted a charging drive. Aware that Red Bull had being sharpening the axe for some time, Hartley appeared more confident on resurfacing with P1 Motorsport at Silverstone, perhaps exhibiting the relief of at last knowing where he stood. After qualifying on the front row, a clumsy overtaking attempt on Aleshin undid the good work. Hartley has reunited with P1 in testing and posted competitive lap times.
