But has yet to prove he can mount a title challenge in a less-than-fully-competitive car, as Hamilton and Alonso have. Quick and classy, not to mention amusing and likeable, his record can't be questioned. Team: Ferrari Nationality: German Born: 3/07/87, Heppenheim Grand prix debut: US, 2007 Previous teams: BMW-Sauber, Toro Rosso, Red Bull Races: 158 World Championships: 4 (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) Career wins: 42 Career pole positions: 46Īndrew Benson's assessment: An almost flawless season in 2015 rescued a reputation that had been badly dented by his final year at Red Bull. Vettel scored 128 points more than his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen in 2015, picking up three wins in the process His team-mate would be a tough challenge for anyone, and as yet there is little evidence Rosberg has what it takes to consistently beat him, for all that he can be very impressive on his day. Team: Mercedes Nationality: German Born: 27/06/85, Wiesbaden Grand prix debut: Bahrain, 2006 Previous team: Williams Races: 185 Career wins: 14 Career pole positions: 22Īndrew Benson's assessment: Looking to bounce back after being crushed by Hamilton in 2015, and his contract up for renewal at the end of the season, Rosberg has it all to do.
Rosberg rounded off the 2015 season with three wins in the final three races But what happened after that? His late-season dip raises questions that should not be there, given his results in the last two years and his phenomenal talent. Which is to say at a level very few have ever achieved. Team: Mercedes Nationality: British Born: 07/01/85, Stevenage Grand prix debut: Australia, 2007 Previous team: McLaren Races: 167 World Championships: 3 (2008, 2014, 2015) Career wins: 43 Career pole positions: 49Īndrew Benson's assessment: Hamilton said he drove better than ever on his way to his third title - and it looked like it, too.
