1. Esteban Ocon (1st in European F3)
2. Max Verstappen (3rd in European F3)
3. Stoffel Vandoorne (2nd in GP2)
4. Carlos Sainz Jr. (1st in FR3.5)
5. Jolyon Palmer (1st in GP2)
6. Alex Lynn (1st in GP3)
7. Pierre Gasly (2nd in FR3.5)
8. Roberto Merhi (3rd in FR3.5)
9. Oliver Rowland (4th in FR3.5)
10. Dean Stoneman (2nd in GP3)

Obviously, lists like these are EXTREMELY subjective, and its not easy to compare drivers from different series due to the level of competition, experience etc, but as its the end of the year and for a bit of fun, what would be your Top 10 of the year?
Talking of subjectivity - I think your list is spot on! Apart from maybe one tiny thing - would swap Rowland for Felipe Nasr (3rd in GP2) - only reason Nasr didn't really take the fight to Palmer for the title was because he had such bad luck early on in the year with low finishes/retirements etc.
