If you ask me, Vettel isn't just undeserving of the title of "Driver of the Year", but undeserving of the World Championship.Quote:

But no, he's not in Formula 1, so his achievements don't count.
I was actually surprised to see a rally driver in thr top 10.
.. Ostberg on Michelin and Novikov on D-Macks in the Qatar M-Sport WRT?

Yes, good question. Is it possible two drivers with different tyre brands in one team? I don't think so.Quote:

Maybe he doesn't have a choice - DMACK could be part of the sponsorship package he brings to the team.
