Max Verstappen has been chosen as the best F1 driver of 2021 by the team bosses and the drivers have chosen him as the best driver of the past year. He was able to trump World Championship rival Lewis Hamilton. Lando Norris took third place, while a notable name in the top-ten is rookie Mick Schumacher.
The scores are based on the current F1 points system. The driver who was number one on the list received 25 points and the driver in tenth place was awarded one point.
Not all twenty drivers participated in the voting. Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Raikonnen did not compose a ranking of best drivers.
Verstappen, Hamilton and Norris make up the top three. Behind them, the Ferrari drivers are Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. Fernando Alonso saw his return to the pinnacle of motor sport crowned with a fine sixth place. The other names in the top-ten are Pierre Gasly, George Russell, Esteban Ocon and Mick Schumacher.
