Hamilton tops official F1 driver poll

Lewis Hamilton has come out on top in Formula 1’s own 2020 driver poll.

After a year in which Hamilton won the world championship for a record-equalling seventh time, his peers saw fit to declare him the best driver.

Second in the vote, which was conducted by F1’s official website, was Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen, who was behind only the Mercedes duo in the drivers’ standings at season’s end.

Daniel Ricciardo was another who polled above where he finished in the title race, by two spots, taking third in the minds of his fellow drivers.

A total of 15 drivers took part, namely: Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi, Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, Nicholas Latifi, Kevin Magnussen, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo, George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, and Max Verstappen.
