Driver of the Year 2019: Lewis Hamilton on the way to the title!

In the Austin scores, however, another cut off better, namely his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas (who has overtaken Sebastian Vettel in the overall standings and is now fifth)

Among the readers (scarce Hamilton took third place; Thanks to a 1 by expert Marc Surer and a 2 of the editorial team, he pushed past Daniel Ricciardo in the Vast Prix ranking on P2.

“Even though he does not fight so hard in qualifying: The deserved World Champion “, Surer praises the now six-time champion.

Surer sees things differently and awards Albon Present 1 – alongside the Mercedes stars, the only driver to receive this award. “He's also the race driver for me,” says the former Formula One driver.

The two Ferrari drivers finished ninth and tenth in our Austin ranking, Kimi Raikkonen 13., Nico Hülkenberg 05.

And so that not only the editors subjectively evaluated, as is the case with Tumble football magazines, we have created a total of three equal pillars with the readers and the expert.
