1.Raikonnen - Car / driver combination superb on their day. Team let Kimi down with failures.
2.Alonso - Excellent use of equipment. Maximised on others failures.
3.Trulli - Revelation of the year, the first half of the season was outstanding. May have been a "cork" in many races but used the car to deliver podiums.
4.Coulthard - Not too sure here. A few good results may have clouded opinions but he doid a very sound job. Saved career.
5.Klien - Almost rated above Coulthard - long with Trulli he proved he belongs in F1. Handled the pressure of Tonio very well.
6.Webber - Often qualified out of position resulting in lower finish than start. Few too many errors but strong finish to the year.
7.Montoya - Excellent when on track. Proved McLaren can "change" a driver by so openly assisting Kimi. Marked down for missing races due to bad luck or stupidity.
8.Monteiro - Very strong year in a pig of a car.
9.Heidfeld - Last minute selection, never looked to be going that well but gathered up results.
10.Albers - Another rookie who did well.
Notable exceptions:
Button - again lost focus due to contact issues. 100 race, all except for 17 in good cars, very little to show for it. Gloss starting to wear off.
Sato -Appalling.
Schumacher - Bad car, trouble maintaining focus. Too good to be qualifying 12th.
