Driver Ratings For Season 5:
Part 1, Renault - Williams
Renault:
Bruno Domingues: Nothing more could really be asked of from the Portugese driver after wrapping up the drivers title and helping secure Renault the counstructors title. Remember, last year he was lucky to get a podium, this year, he's had 11 of them. 10/10
Jef Beyens:
Another quiet season spent in the shadows of a team mate, on a couple of occasions Jef has shined such as his superb win at Monaco and a second win at China. Has played the team role aswell letting Bruno control the race whilst Jef defends behind, netting 5 podiums in the process. 8/10
McLaren:
Herman Chang: Chang has stepped up his game this season with some great qualifying performances grabbing 6 poles thus far, his race pace may not be as good but none the less, he certainly deserves his Renault seat for next season. 9/10
Duncan Hutchison: Same story as Beyens, was in Chang's shadow for much of the first half of the season but has lately came on strong with 5 points finishes in a row. Some would say he has had his day, others might say he's just getting used to a complicated car. 8/10
Ferrari:
Lee Davidson: Once again Davidson has been at the front of the pack, but not at the front of the championship. Inconsistancy from both car and driver has been cause for a heartache of a championship. Probably his best chance too after netting 6 wins so far. 8/10
Jarrrett Allman: Grabbed his maiden win this season at Melbourne but has failed to copy that race pace ever since. Has struggled with faster drivers but has been consistant, only retireing from 2 races before Brazil. 7/10
Toyota:
Luke Mason: Has struggled throughout the season with a poor car, has managed 3 points finishes with 5th being his highest finish of the season but with the car lacking overall pace, it's no suprise he is leaving at the end of the season. 6/10
Dan Graham: Aswell as Mason, Graham has been hit with the team's lack of pace, first 5 races went well, including a podium finish at Sepang but as the season has gone on, Toyota have fallen further and further back, as shown in his results. 7/10
Williams:
Guillaume Dubois: Mr.Consistant this season having snatched the Season 4 title, he wont be winning the title this season but 3rd place is justified with some brilliant performances including 5 poiums in a row between Montreal and Hockenheim. 8/10
Tristan Lovett: Has been completely destroyed by his team mate, not one points finish so far is probably the main reason for his sacking at the end of the season. 1/10
