1. Vettel. The easiest choice in the world, pretty much perfect.
2. Rosberg. Did a hugely impressive, polished job and came out of it reputation enhanced.
3. Hulkenberg. With a lesser car, almost rivalling Vettel for heroics.
4. Grosjean. Vettel's closest rival late in the season.
5. Hamilton. Did well adapting to the new car, collected points and shone when he could.
=6. Raikkonen. Was brilliant podium after podium early in the year, tailed off.
=6. Alonso. Nothing like as impressive as in 2010 or 2012. Subdued.
8. Perez. Nothing like as bad as people say. Feisty racing, improved as the year went on, always looked to have slightly more underlying pace than Button.
9. Webber. Hugely disappointing return, right time to go.
10. Button. Solid, collected points impressively, nothing amazing.
11. Di Resta. His best season in F1 and it was bye bye, did a solid job all year.
12. Ricciardo. Asserted himself big time over Vergne and that's all you could ask.
13. Massa. Deserves credit for qualifying pace relative to Alonso, a lost cause in the races.
14. Bottas. Quietly impressive although sometimes faded away from pace in the races.
15. Sutil. Mr average. Did ok on return, but hardly tore up trees. Oz drive was impressive.
16. Bianchi. Very strong rookie year, did everything he could.
17. Vergne. Great drives Monaco and Canada, the rest was pretty crap.
18. Van Der Garde. Showed a fair bit of speed as the season went on.
19. Maldonado. Raced well at times, but a below par season in a rubbish car.
20. Gutierrez. Was absolutely demolished by Nico, little boy lost most of the year.
21. Pic. Didn't do anything of note despite bring Caterham's "big signing"
22. Chilton. Finished every race.
