F1 | Driver of the Year: Vote Now

[Antony Snook]

i voted kubica, his performances were top notch, especially in qualifying

Hes a nice guy, but you know what they say "nice guys finish last"

 

[Antony Snook]

Antonio Giovinazzi powned the 2019 season... those who disagree don't know what they are talking about

At least he kept his drive. Just know him as the wild guy with the worst hair cut.

 

[Antony Snook]

Everyone Driver of the Year Robert Kubica he drive it one arm he deserve

1 point due to a disqualification of car ahead. And one point from you that is 2 points. The next team up was HASS with 28 points that is 26 points more. Nothing personnel about the man nice guy but there are better drivers that could do more in even in a the Williams. They just have less experience. or money.

Nigel Mansell

Remember Nigel agreed for a comeback McLaren drive and could not fit in cockpit. So they had to re build a new wider cockpit and he could not drive the car. The drive went to Martin Brundells old buddy Mark Blundell.

1 Max... not the fastest car. 22 years old, he can only be better.
2 Hamilton...fastest car, but driving as a real champ..always focused

The others are far behind the skills of this two drivers

 

[tigermilk]

For me there is no one driver of the year, but two: Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. Both are young, fast drivers with a big future ahead of them.

Fully agree. Tough choice, but in the end I went with Max (and I am a Ferrari fan). Just feel that he got more out of the car.

I am not Lewis fanboy but 18% is a insult
If he wins 2020 he would have won through all car and rule changes
and no one can do that ever again

The lad drives a Alfa Romeo and finish all races... this is the ultimate race driver achievement... worth more than the Triple Crown... unless the TC is won with Alfa cars.

He can't win with an Alfa Romeo.

I hesitated a bit... I was tempted to pick Albon, simply for jumping to RBR in his rookie season and looking real good next to Verstappen (no small feat.) But I went with Hamilton. Not my favorite driver and I find him as phony as a $3 bill when he's in front of a microphone. However, he won a 6th WDC and he was on his game all year, as opposed to previous seasons when he occasionally went through a slump. This season, he was pretty much faultless. Yes, he has the best car... But he drives it with great control and maturity and even I, who is not a fan, must acknowledge greatness when I see it.

Rookie of the year: Lando Norris. Great driver and a breath of fresh air in the stuffy, P.R. obsessed world of F1. Albon, as I said, impressed me a lot, and so did Russell.

Underrated drivers of the year: Perez and Sainz.

Drivers who have no business in F1: Stroll and Grosjean.

Mystery of the year: Vettel. Does he still really like F1? The jury's out.

Underachiever of the year: Bottas. All that talk of a "new, meaner Bottas" at the Australian GP was pretty quickly forgotten... At least Rosberg could get under Hamilton's skin once in a while. Bottas is the good 2nd driver, like Barrichello was to Schumacher. He'll never threaten the boss, he'll go with team orders and do the job. Yawn!

Don't think anyone can break it down better.

Deffo Lando Norris. Gets his skills from sim racing

So does max, hence t1 at spa.....

 

[LeSunTzu]

Voted Verstappen even if I will never be part of the "orange army", because he has become very consistent and now he drives cleverly. He managed to beat both Ferrari drivers fair and square. And his wins in Austria and Hockenheim will be part of F1's legend.

Suprised Vettel has got less votes than Lewis....or is it too obvious?

Why would he? The mistakes he made during this season whenever he was under pressure were barely worthy of a rookie, let alone a four time world champion. In contrast, Hamilton has just wont a sixth championship with barely any driving mistakes at all.

Who got the most from their car?

Your question contradicts the argument you're trying to make. Getting the "most from your car" is not necessarily measured in terms of podiums and victories. I would argue that it's the midfielders battling each other to the line every race that are getting the most from their cars, not the front-runners that have a massive pace advantage.

Anyone other than Lewis, Max or Carlos and your just bias or just trolling.

That's a pretty dumb thing to say. Just because others may not judge drivers performances on the same criteria as you, it does not make them biased in any way. The votes for Norris are a perfect example. He hasn't won and he hasn't scored a lucky podium, but he's had an excellent rookie season that is definitely worthy of note.

Personally, I think those who are not voting for the "obvious" choices are those that have actually bothered to watch the races. In other words, they're voting based on what they've seen, instead of on nothing more than official stats and numbers.

OK Ross

 

[snyperal]

I voted for lewis. I watched every race and his mistakes were minimal. I think the biggest mistake was Germany, but pretty much everyone in Merc screwed up there.

 

[Jack Vos]

Max is the Man

 

[Julian048]

I think Nico is the driver of the year because he an Vettel are the last 2 German Drivers. And Nico left This Year

 

[Deleted member 561801]

Charles Leclerc

 

[michelforest]

Why not say Hulkenberg or Kimi since people like to vote with their Hearts and not the facts....Suprised Vettel has got less votes than Lewis....or is it too obvious?

Good thing drivers dont gain points based on polls.

I am surprised Vettel got any vote at all. Even he, I bet, is aware that he had a very bad season. To be fair, the whole Ferrari team was a major disappointment, especially compared to the ruthless efficiency of Mercedes.

Who got the most from their car? I pick Sainz (who’s maturing nicely), Perez and even the two Toro Rosso drivers for getting on the podium once each.

 

[Michel Bélisle]

Never been a Lewis Hamilton fan but you have to admit that the Man is dominant.
