Hi Flavio,
Fair question. My understanding is that it gives the readers the opportunity to nominate people. Obviously the judges have certain people we know we need to talk about, but the idea is to get other nominations from the public, which we will then discuss as well. You'd be surprised how few drivers/drivers' families nominate themselves!
So, essentially, the public is being asked/given the opportunity (depending on your point of view) to put forward drivers for discussion, which are then assessed based on what they have achieved during the season.
I don't believe this is a secret. As far as the final decision is concerned, yes it comes down to what happens during the tests.
For the other Autosport Awards, that is not the case. As far as I know, they are simply decided on the number of votes received.
