Our team of correspondents travel the world to bring you the inside track from Formula 1, World Rally Championship, MotoGP, sportscars, GTs, Formula E, touring cars and much, much more. At the end of every season we ask them to rank the drivers from the series they cover, and that’s how we start to compile the overall list.

The 2022 list appears in the bumper Christmas edition of Autosport magazine (22 December) and on Autosport.com.

This week's podcast reveals the secrets of how we rank drivers and compare them across various series.

Host Martyn Lee is joined by Chief Editor Kevin Turner, Autosport Plus, Performance and Engineering Editor James Newbold and WRC Reporter Tom Howard to discuss the controversies and how some drivers get the nod over their rivals.
