No surprise to see who topped the list... F1
Nico Rosberg has ranked George Russell’s performance in 2022 higher than his former team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the German’s top five drivers of the year.
Rosberg said that Alonso produced so many “special drives” and that he was an easy choice for sixth place. Rosberg highlighted the ease of which Norris beat team-mate Daniel Ricciardo as a mark of his quality. “If it wouldn’t have been for that, I think he would have been on a par with George in terms of points if not, maybe in front.
“The team let him down a lot. Of course, he also had a couple of mistakes in there, which you can’t really make when you’re trying to win against [Max] Verstappen in the championship. But still, I think he deserves to be P2.”In second, Rosberg plumped for Russell who he described as having “an incredibly consistent year with such a difficult car.”
