The best drivers on the grid?

[woody2goody]

As there is a Worst Drivers thread, I thought this could be interesting.

Pick your 5.

I would say:

1. Alonso
2. Hamilton
3. Massa
4. Raikkonen
5. Button

http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...d.php?t=135345 - this is the best drivers thread. Maybe it will be well if the topics are merged. My list is the same as yours, but I place Kimi above Felipe.

it just for fun because you can't simply compare abilities of the drivers (different team etc.) but:
1. Alonso
2. Hamilton
Vettel
Kubica (ex aequo)
5. Raikkonen

My list is secret kull: :

[keysersoze]

1. Alonso: closest we have today to a Prost, in terms of lifting a team
2. Hamilton: will get utmost from car and races his ass off
3. Vettel: getting close to Hamilton
4. Raikonnen: an absolute monster, when he wants to be
5. Massa: pretty consistent now, if we can forget about Silverstone last year

6. Rosberg: just a hunch he belongs here
7. Barrichello: brings a lot of intangibles to the table
8. Heidfeld: solid, unspectacular all-arounder
9. Kubica: IMO the last year and a half has hurt his stock
10. Webber: very little to choose between 6-10 really

11. Fisichella: phenomenally quick, but too soft in races
12. Button: only brilliant when the car is right
13. Trulli: quick, but two glaring weaknesses (the wet, and racecraft)
14. Sutil: form vs the Fish shows he has what it takes to be a winner
15. Glock: balls out racer with too many qualifying snafus

16. Kovalainen: a year or two ago I would've put him higher
17. Liuzzi: I think he's up to it, just at the bottom of a pretty good grid IMO
18. Nakajima: quick, but can't quite get it done in the races

Too little experience to judge, but I guess the new boys are in a category by themselves, and in this order:
Buemi
Grosjean
Alguesuari
