TBK-Light.com :: Best of the 2014 Season

You have 3 choices again.

* Williams: What a season !!! The team and drivers did a fantastic job. Well deserve result, didn't expect that at all.
* Mercedes: The car was just TOO good.
* Hamilton: The perfect season.

Special mentions to Ricciardo, Bottas, Massa.

Mercedes (a brick could have won the Championship in that car), Williams and Bianchi for doing the impossible and scoring points in a Marussia. #forzajules

Same reasons.

Hard to vote for drivers who were in by far the best car.

Ricciardo, Hamilton, Bottas

Ditto.

Ricciardo. Not only was he able to beat Vettel (although the car didn't suit for Seb), but also challenged Mercedes and Williams. Very mature driving, 8 Podiums including 3 wins. Classy.
Hamilton. Wasn't as quick as Rosberg in qualifying, but Hamilton showed that his race pace was just better enough for becoming a champion. Since Rosberg was just as fast as Hamilton, one must appreciate what Lewis did (compared to Schumi who never faced challenge from his team mates).
Bottas. Only the 2nd whole season and he's already among the top drivers. His qualifying pace is outstanding: 9 times in Top-3. Apart from the single mistake at Australia and a couple of bad starts, very clean and analytic driving.

Same for me Williams had a great comeback this season.Mercedes was in a league of its own and Lewis is the deserved champion

I voted for 3 drivers: Ricciardo and Bottas punched way above their expectations (for me), and Bianchi got the Marussia into the points.

Hard to vote for drivers who were in by far the best car. I disagree on that. The best teams attract the best drivers thus resulting in dominant performances like this. Hamilton had an amazing season with barely some mistakes on his part, that's why I voted for him and Mercedes. Everyone criticized him when he made the move to Mercedes in 2013, saying it was only because of money. Now he has shown everyone who has doubted him back then totally wrong. Just imagine him still being at Mclaren... Also voted for Williams. Wanted to vote only for Bottas, but Massa had such an amazing second part of the season I have to give credit to him too (and thus voting for the team in a whole).

Post subject:	Re: Best of the 2014 Season
Too many, so I will pick the "underdogs": -Bianchi: What a moment in Monaco, what a race -Bottas: Massa was having bad luck all season and he was better in the last third, but Bottas did an amazing job, smooth and nice driving. There's alot to come from him I'm sure! -Ricciardo: What a job! Beat the 4-time world champion by far, won 3 times. Probably up there with Hamilton and Alonso and a future world champion Special mentions to: Mercedes (most dominating car ever counting both cars) Hamilton (the best racer out there) Rosberg (best sportsman, probably best qualifier, but too strong teammate) Williams (if they continue this way, they will be able to compete for wins)

Ricciardo: By far the best driver of the season, who would have thought after Melbourne that a non-Mercedes driver could win a race (let alone 3) this year? Hamilton: best Mercedes driver of the season Williams: most improved team

Ricciardo - Some great drives to victories, and beatting Vettel too... i wonder how would it be at RBR if he was there from 2010... Hamilton - manny problems trough the year, dnfs, crashes and fire in qlf, but fighting spirit never died. Deserved champ Bottas - with a good car (that improved from race to race) you can get great results. Shame Wiiliams didnt score a win

Ricciardo and Hamilton. Williams - in a way, disappointing. Could have scored a win this season.

Ricciardo - to get the better of the reigning four-time world champion in your first season at the team, much more than I think anyone could have expected of him. Hamilton - best driver on race day, had the better of Rosberg any time they went wheel-to-wheel even if Nico kept him honest and must have given him something to think about on Saturdays. Mercedes - that car. Honourable mentions to Bottas and Rosberg.

Hamilton - 11 race wins, 16 podium finishes. Domination. Mercedes - 16 race wins, poles in all but one race. One of the most dominant seasons in F1 history. Ricciardo - 3 race wins in a vastly inferior car. Pit lane to 4th in the last race sums up his year. Williams also deserves a mention - Maldonado leaves and they have their best season in years

Haven't voted yet (pretty hard to pick just three) but I do feel that Kvyat deserves some more mentioning.

I really don't see what kvyat did that was so special. Vergne did have his number for most part of the season.

Post subject:	Re: Best of the 2014 Season
I feel Kvyat did a great job, especially in qualifying. Vergne was quick in the last part of the season but overall Kvyat was a good match for him and I think he simply has more raw speed. If he keeps on developing at Red Bull then I bet he'll be a challenge for Ricciardo.
