The annual “Autosport asks F1 bosses who the best driver was” list is out, and Fernando Alonso tops it by just a hair over world champ Sebastian Vettel.
Here it is:
1. Alonso 229
2. Vettel 220
3. Hamilton 196
4. Webber 146
5. Kubica 129
6. Button 86
7. Rosberg 68
8. Hulkenberg 17
. Massa 17
10. Barrichello 11
Nico Hulkenberg’s position definitely catches my attention. How does that not mean he’ll get a seat somewhere? Seriously, Force India goes with Paul di Resta rather than him?
Also perhaps worth noting: Rubens Barrichello finally beat Michael Schumacher at something!
I also have to point out that I’d suspect had Adrian Sutil maintained his early season form, he would have bumped Rubens. But his last races were pretty awful.
Does Alonso’s nipping Vettel seem fair to everyone?
