i will have the nurburgring over hockenheim. although both have been 'downgraded', the nurburgring has provided us with some pretty damn good races. |

If seperate, I hope the Nordschleife doesn't get the axe. |

Bernie is 83 years old and embroiled in major legal case that could possibly land him in jail. Is CVC going allow Bernie to run FOM until he dies or goes to jail? |

just about right. I'd just put Raikkonen in Class 2 and create make a 3rd for Button. 4 Would then be your class 3. |

That looks fun. Here's how I'd rate them: Class 1 Vettel Class 2 Alonso Hamilton Rosberg (kept up with Hamilton all year, super impressive performances) Class 3 Hulkenberg (nearly put in class 2, needs better seat to properly judge against others) Raikkonen (class 2 on a good weekend, not consistent enough) Class 4 Grosjean (very close to class 3) Webber Button (can be very fast, but not at all consistent) Class 5 Massa I do struggle putting Rosberg and Alonso in the same class, but Rosberg's performances this year were superb. Maybe both Mercedes should be in a class 2.5 or something, as after 2013 I rate Hamilton and Rosberg equal, Alonso probably a bit higher. All said and done, 2014 should be very fun to watch. |

1 Vettel Alonso 2 Hamilton Kimi Button Rosberg Hulk 3 Grosjean Webber di Resta Pérez Ricciardo 4 Massa Sutil Maldonado Bottas Bianchi 5 Vergne vd Garde Gutierrez Pic 6 Chilton It's difficult to divide drivers into "classes" because form fluctuates, it seems obvious Lewis has the talent to be tier 1 for example, as he was a match for Alonso when a rookie, but it's also pretty clear Alonso has been driving better than him since, and Lewis has hardly been any better than 2 of the guys he's with there (Button and Rosberg). Massa has outright beaten Kimi in the past yet I'll put him 2 tiers down because he seems nowhere near consistently that driver anymore. Vergne is obviously more talented than the other drivers I put him with, but he's not extracting that talent isn't he. Etc, etc. If I do this in a different day or in a few months from now, I'll do it completely different, too. |

Beyond that it gets difficult to rank them for me, you have some very good established drivers that have had good and not-so-good seasons, and then some younger guns who might turn out as good or better but for whom it's too soon to say. |

As expected, Pirelli remains F1's tyre supplier until 2016. But one day of in-season testing must be devoted to tyre testing. One day of pre-season testing must be devoted to wet weather running. |

There is no way Button is on the same level as Raikkonen Scotty, and this is coming from a lifelong Button fan. 2011 was a good season, but that doesn't compare to how Raikkonen has performed throughout his career. And as for having a bad attitude, well Alonso's a perfect match then! |

my ranking is quite the same Class 1: Alonso and Vettel Class 2: Hamilton then Raikkonen Class 3: Hulkenberg, Button, Rosberg (kubica would be here until 2011) Class 4: Button, Grosjean, Webber and so on It'll take a bit of time and championships to take "best driver" position from Vettel based on results |

Not sure anyone deserves to be in the same class as Vettel for the moment... My ranking: Class 1: Vettel Class 2: Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen Class 3: Hulkenberg, Rosberg, Button, Grosjean Class 4: Webber, Massa, Ricciardo, ... Hulkenberg might have the talent to move up to class 2. |
