1) Alonso
2) Hamilton
3) Vettel/Raikkonen

The best two drivers in Formula 1 drove their best seasons, and neither of them won the championship. Goes to show how cruel motorsport can be. Vettel drove a great season, but Hamilton and Alonso were superlative. And a fantastic comeback year from Kimi. We’re gifted to be living through an era with such incredible strength and depth of talent, right through the field.

@DaveF1 Nico’s not complaining – just telling the journalist that he was wrong to say smoking was incompatible with the modern sport.

D’Ambrosio would suit a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth. Classical European good looks, designer stubble, Italian-French (well, Franco-Belgian), John Player Special-liveried car.

Not to mention that I always thought Jerome had a passing resemblance to Cevert, and Francois didn’t shy away from the occasional Gauloise: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2033/2489548345_13a0b836f5.jpg?v=0
