Chandhok ranks his top ten drivers of the season

Karun Chandhok has made a top ten of the best drivers of 2020 for Sky Sports and it is no surprise to see Lewis Hamilton leading the way.

In the top ten of Chandhok, Lewis Hamilton is at the top. The Brit took his seventh world title in 2020 and was almost unbeatable. Max Verstappen is in second place after he secured a comfortable win in Abu Dhabi.

"Verstappen was the only challenger of the Mercedes duo and at certain times was real enough to irritate them. The early victory at Silverstone may have given some false hope, as Red Bull Racing was never constant enough to really compete for the world title. Verstappen should have won in Turkey, but he spun in an attempt to overtake Sergio Perez . However, the difference between Max and Alexander Albon in qualifying shows his complete dominance within the team," said the former Formula 1 driver.

The top ten is further complemented by Charles Leclerc , Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo , Pierre Gasly , Carlos Sainz , George Russell , Lando Norris and, surprisingly, Bottas. The most striking name missing here is Sebastian Vettel, although the four-time world champion has not exactly had a successful year either.
