For me the best driver of the year has been Kubica, besides his off at Silverstone I cant think of a serious mistake that he's made all year and was a regular on the podium for 2/3rds of the year before the BMW started lagging. Relentlessly fast as well.

Hamilton second for me, despite some dreadful mistakes he's been very fast as well and consistently on the pace.

Massa has had a very good year, and largely removed the off weekends that he has sufferred before, But whenever Kimi has been really on it, Massa has been behind so I've stil got questions on just how good he is.

Alonso has had a very up and down season. In my mind he is without doubt the best driver in the field and proved it billiantly over the last 5 or 6 races, but for the first 10 or so races this year he was seriously overdriving the Renault and just seemed not to care to much, the result being far too many mistakes.

Vettel, seemed to have trouble finding the end of lap 1 at the start of the race but after the new car came on line he was suppurb. However, it was notable that when Bourdais, who is a very talanted driver but not a great, had a good weekend they were neck and neck.
