The top 10 Formula 1 drivers of 2017

Five different winners, new faces in new places and a non-Mercedes monopoly on the title battle - the 2017 Formula 1 season was fun, but who were the star performers?

Perez could make a case to be higher up this list after another excellent campaign with Force India. He is now undoubtedly one of the F1 midfield's most consistent drivers.

With Nico Hulkenberg moved on to pastures new, Perez became the undisputed reference for Force India, and its new driver Esteban Ocon - and didn't disappoint. There was no podium this season, but Perez amassed a three-figure points tally again and fell just one point shy of matching his 2016 peak of 101.
