The top 10 GP2 drivers of 2013
This year's GP2 championship went down to the wire, but while 11 different drivers claimed victory, one stood out above the pack. CHARLES BRADLEY picks out his top 10 drivers of 2013
As national stereotypes go, Fabio Leimer was the epitome of Swiss clockwork efficiency - for the second half of the GP2 season at least. Although he didn't lead the championship at the end of a race weekend until September, he'd built huge momentum by then and fended off Sam Bird's late title charge with precision - apart from crashing on the slowing-down lap in Singapore!
Leimer was 66 points in arrears of Rapax's pacesetter Stefano Coletti until they collided at Silverstone, from whence Coletti's season fell apart and he only scored again once over the remainder of the year.
