The top five drivers of Formula One's 2018 season

ESPN rates the top five drivers of the 2018 Formula One season -- a mix of two of the grid's most experienced drivers with three of its most exciting talents. You can read six to ten here.

5. Fernando Alonso

It was a great shame that the vast majority of Fernando Alonso's final season in F1 was spent in the second half of the field, but that didn't stop him from shining. It's doubtful anyone would have amassed more points in the 2018 McLaren than the 50 he managed over 21 races, and that's certainly true of teammate Stoffel Vandoorne, who was outqualified by Alonso at every round.
