The autosport.com 2008 Top Ten
It's that time of the year, for the autosport.com team to vote on the best driver of the passing season and the most memorable Grand Prix of the year. Sixteen voters participate this season. Each selected five drivers and three races, as well as their most memorable and forgettable events of the season. Here are the results and the voters' reasoning...
1. Robert Kubica; 2. Lewis Hamilton; 3. Fernando Alonso; 4. Felipe Massa; 5. Sebastian Vettel
Hamilton's peaks (Silverstone in particular) were the highest, but for relentless, consistent maximising of his car's potential it has to be Kubica. Alonso only looked like the great driver he is after the summer break, Massa further improved, took a couple of races to get used to loss of t/c, and Vettel passed every test with flying colours.
