Lewis Hamilton

[@saptorshimukherjee8532]

I think the driver of the season is Fernando Alonso....now many will say that he didn't win a gp, how could I select him. It's because he is the king of the middle order in every race this season....His car may not be a merc or a red bull honda but he has given a v.v. tough time to both mercs and the red bulls which was evidently seen in the Hungarian gp and I think this is peak fernando because he is fighting on a driver to driver level knowing his car is underpowered. I have a huge respect for that guy also.... And why shouldn't I? This guy has won le mans twice😌👏🙏

[@avbsvideo]

Max is the driver of the season so far. He has dominated the season, even though the points don't reflect it as much as they should. However, a case could be made for Lando as well. I love seeing the McLarens in the mix. Lando should have had that win a couple weeks back, but the gamble on the rain/tires didn't pay off.

[@Danny11664]

Max has been performing the best by far this season. Just compare the amount of laps led, he has led more laps than half the grid including HAM combined. Considering Max only leads by 6 points that just emphasizes how unlucky he has been throughout the season.

[@sebyseby2]

Definetly Carlos. Going to a new team, being tied with Charles with 6 races remaining (who was expected to be nr. 1 in the team giving his performances in the last few years), also performing better that any other driver that went to a new team, I think he is by far the best choice for "Best performing driver". Lando is a solid second, but having the continuity with Mclaren is a big advantage over Carlos.

For me as to be Max, with Lando and Gasly pretty close. They have been dominating their teammates with little to no mistakes pretty much all year. But for me what stands out for Max is how well he's handling this tittle battle with such a young age. The comparison of performances/mistakes between him and Lewis just shows he is handling it so much better than a guy who has the experience of being in the top of the ladder for years and that for me it's the deciding factor.

I would say that it's Carlos Sainz. He switch teams and was still able to adapt quickly and put a real fight up for Charles Leclerc

Lando for me. Mature beyond his years and humble in victory and defeat. Cheers for the insightful videos Nico!

[@FastEddie368]

Wow! Mad respect for Nico! I so appreciate this insight so much! 👍🇺🇸

[@coolkanchu9598]

Nothing better than watching Nico's videos.. Love u Nico 🤜💞🤛

[@patrickbateman529]

Carlos and Max best drivers of this season. It's time we start noticing Sainz 🌶

[@theokamiatzoglou9307]

Got to be lando, he's got some great results this season, he got podiums and he was close to get his first win in F1 plus he's fighting for 3rd place in the drivers' championship

[@lutascheier]

Love your work Nico.

[@RodHammett95]

I know the contest it's probably over but for me it has to be Max. Him and Lewis are just on a league of their own, it's amazing to watch. Just the other day was thinking about how we are witnessing history of F1 being made. Such incredible drivers. Lewis has made some mistakes though (Imola, Baku) meanwhile Max has been driving in such a high level, mad pace, consistent, etc... just unlucky on some occasions (Baku, Silverstone, Hungary) so he only leads by 12 points now. The way he drove those last laps in COTA under massive pressure was unbelievable. Just wanted to say thank you Nico for this series. When I watch these videos I miss having you on the grid, you were always a gentleman. I remember in every GP you talked in spanish with Juan Fossarolli from Fox Sports which was always very nice for us latin american fans. Good memories. Hope you're doing great!

[@oskarellis7694]

I think the best performing driver is Pierre Gasly, his consistency in quali especially is insane. Showing us he deserves a second chance at red bull.

[@maiden5427]

Lando Norris is the best performing driving. I hope the mistake at sochi doesn't bring his spirit down. Future world champion 🏆

[@Harglin]

I think Lando Norris for his age and time in F1 has already over achieved people's expectations by far, it is really great to watch him develop and I am very excited to follow along through his career!!!

[@MrKillervincent]

The fact that nico knows that up hill means less braking distance and down hill requires more braking distance is mental! Once again, makes perfect sense but never really thought about it before, thanks for the video from us mere mortals Nico!

[@joelcoulon]

Alonso, purely for the defence in Hungary then gifting Ocon the win

[@Firebolt1729]

Nice joke

[@brianlee2890]

Definitely Lando, he’s definitely shown that he can be a threat to the top guys on the track. If he can make some tweaks to his skills and have the right racing machine, he will no doubt be challenging for a championship soon.

[@gatiten]

Nico, you dignify this motor sport... a lot of humility!!! my respects!!!

[@WickedlNl]

Id say Lando is the best performing Driver of the year. I mean 2 years ago we barely saw McLaren anywhere close to the podium so the fact that he kept at it so strong throughout the whole season is amazing and no wonder they offered him a longer contract.
