Good Drivers perform well despite changes in tyres , rules , etc .., and can out perform their machinery . So, Considering solely driver performance ( ignoring , mechanical issues, accidents due to other drivers/reasons ) , here’s my list …

1 . Vettle – No Questions

2 .Fernando Alonso – bad car , Tyre changes didn’t help Ferrari . But he was consistent

3. Romain Grosjean – not to argue with his second half . Monaco was his only bad weekend , which caused Canada bad too . car set up was not to his liking in first 3 races and the rest was all bad luck , not his faults

4 . Kimi Riakhonen – Consistent as ever . but degraded a little in second half

5 . Hulkenberg – First half wan’t good , and couldn’t do any good when the car was bad. but when tyres played a bit in the second half , he was better

6 . Rosberg – Hamilton would admit this too

7. Webber – Hugely out performed by Vettle , and was unlucky with several Mechanical issues, bit race craft as better in a good car

8. Hamilton – Mixed season

9. Massa – Another , mixed season

10. Ricciardo – Despite Race points, consistently brilliant qualifying performance was promising m what he can deliver in a good car like red bull

11. Perez – despite , being over aggressive , showed what he is capable of , over his hugely experienced team mate

12 . Button – McLean was 1.5 seconds off the pace . but everybody expected him to finish 6 th or 7 th , compared to what Fernando did last year . But he could not

13 . Di resta – Had his best moments, and worst moments

14 . Bianchi – A real Talent , being wasted in a slower car ..

15 . Bottas – promising future talent

17 Sutil – Just Like Perez and Di resta in combined , was brilliant and over-aggressive at times , other times , he was totally missing in races

18 – Vernge – Average performance in an ‘Okay’ car

19 . Maldanado – Everyone knows he can be fast and reckless , just like Grosjean . but didn’t improve his race craft as Grosjean did.

20 /21 . Gutierrez & VDG – saw some sparkles at few times , bit was below par most of the times

22. Chilton – Despite British media hails him for finishing in all 19 races in his rookie season , he never looked like capable of overtaking Fellow Maurissa and Caterham , Seemed like his only ambition was to finish the races
