The top 10 Formula 1 support acts of 2018
The cream of the crop in Formula 1's two supporting series was so strong that three drivers earned 2019 F1 seats, but who else stood out? Here's our pick of the top F2 and GP3 performers from 2018
In the shadow of last year's Formula 1 championship struggle between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, the supporting Formula 2 and GP3 Series title fights were just as competitive - with both going to the final round, even if there was a degree of predictability in the final result.
Ranking the contenders from both those series is no easy task, particularly given the leading three F2 contenders performed so strongly and consistently that all three have earned F1 graduations for this season.
