Sorry to hear that former Renault driver won't make a return to F1 after that hectic rally crash.

What's his name again?

Tall guy. Big nose. Hmmm....

Kubica. Certainly doesn't look like he will make his way back to F1 thanks to mobility of his left arm from the elbow down. Does however look like he'll get a WRC seat racing for Citroen next year. Has been winning rallies all over the show the last couple of weeks. A rare talent.

Yoh!

To return to racing after that crash.

 

Courage. Courage.

Me being dumb again... but how the heck did Massa even get as high as 10th?!

Not dumb I wondered the same! Presumably Stephano Domencali's voted him the second best driver which earned him his score of 27...

 

Also no ways Mark Webber could be considered the 6th best drvier of the year...

I thought Massa did a pretty decent job in the second half of the sesason.

 

I wouldn't even have Webber in the top 10

maybe the last 3 or 4 races he was OK. before that he was poor.

I would slot Kimi into 2nd place. Finishing 3rd in a Lotus, and taking a win in your comeback year is a great achievement. Alonso, Kimi, Hulkenburg and Vettel were the top drivers of 2012.

If outperforming the potential of the car is the main criteria then I would have Maldonado in the list instead of Webber. He might be a complete head banger in the car at times, but he definitly put the Williams on the grid higher than it should have been.

Lots of people in the know felt that both Williams drivers under performed. General consensus was that this years car was capable of lots more, but good results were thrown away.

I tend to agree with that.....the Williams had shown some remarkable pace in almost every race, but the drivers could not harness it for the whole duration. I would've pegged them 3rd or 4th in the championship.
