The producer of the Senna documentary http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2010/1...roducers-view/ and BBC journalist Andrew Benson http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewben...1_drivers.html both picked Alonso.
This is what I originally posted on James Allen's site:
1. Hamilton – the all round package. Crucially he schooled RBR in Istanbul in how to race wheel to wheel with your team mate even with the benefit of team orders *cough* ’save fuel’ *splutter*
2. Vettel – he may be the champ but he arguably had the advantage of the better car. Too many questions asked of him when he’s not on pole/leading the race.
3. Webber – a formidable foe for Vettel and even RBR. Held his head up high when he questions the team. Vettel was better driver, arguably the quickest amongst the current F1 field.
4. Kubica – agains shown his talent that he deserves to be in an apex team challenging for the WDC.
5. Alonso – stolen a piece of Jimmie Johnson’s (multiple NASCAR Sprint Cup champ) mojo and peaked at the right moment which is why he easily trumps Button, even though by his standards Alonso’s form was disappointingly and embarrassingly shambolic in the first of the year.
