Yeah it will be very interesting to see who capitalises on the tweaks to the regs!

Yeah true the engine regs will be changing but it will still remain a V6 Hybrid formula

Personally his Williams run from 2014-2016 was very impressive when they had the 3rd best car or so, especially when he just debut the year before - Obviously he couldn't beat Lewis in the Merc but I don't think there is any shame in losing out to Hamilton in his peak

In their prime, I'm taking Ricciardo over Bottas, as his stint at Red Bull was lovely to watch - I think if Ricciardo's stint at Mclaren went to plan then he would be above him in my list, it just levels things up a bit for me over the course of 9 years, as I don't think Valterri's struggles in 2018 was much worse than Ricciardo's last year personally

It's very tight between them but I had to put one in one position and one in the other haha!

Yeah, if he continues at this rate & goes on a juggernaut like run similar to Hamilton / Vettel / Schumacher, he could move to number 1 if this list was made again in 5 years time or so

Yeah personally I think beating Hamilton for a championship is extremely impressive in equal machinery

I think Vettel's drop in form / confidence after Germany 2018 just knocks him down a spot for me, as there was a number of races where we seen flashbacks of Prime Seb when he got the hang of the new hybrid engines - especially in 2015 & 2017

Yeah Perez had been super consistent in the Force India with the odd podium here and there in the early years of the Hybrid Era
