Who better to ask who is the man of the year than the top 10 finishers in the title race itself? So that is exactly what Motorsport News has done. Call it a cop-out if you want, but we’ve gone to the experts.
We polled the top 10 finishers in the points standings and collated the points. The only premise was that the drivers could not vote for themselves or for any of their direct team-mates.
It has been a year where there were 12 different winners over the 30 rounds and the margin of title success was a mere 12 points. The title run-in was too close to call and it came down – as it so often does – to the final event at Brands Hatch.
