    My driver of the year is Sergio Perez, even with missing two races in a short season with an extremely competitive midfield, he tops the midfield battle even beating Alex Albon comfortably while getting the absolute maximum out of the car and any race situation. His tire management is unparalleled and his consistency is on the same level as Verstappen and Hamilton...And to think this man doesn't have a seat for next season is just criminal!

    Driver of the season has to be Sergio “Checo” Perez because the way he has handle to fact that he is losing his seat on the grid at the end of the season has been impeccable and how he has fought to prove his worth to try and secure a new seat is amazing to watch. I think the way he has utilised the max performance out of the car with the podium at the Sahkir Grand Prix topping it off. Think he’s a well deserved driver of the season and will be unfortunately to see him go. Love to content Niko, keep up the hard work and get back on Sky Sports 😂

If the whole grid was driving the same car, the top 5 drivers on the current grid would likely all be within a single tenth. Impossible to prove but Russells recent Merc performance points towards that being the likely status quo..

    My F1 driver of the year 2020 is Kimi Raikkonen for critical contributions in setting up the car, driving the wheels off it when possible and finishing ahead of the Ferrari drivers, and for keeping calm more than any other season this time 🙂
