Fernando Alonso has been voted by readers of a British newspaper as the best driver of the 2008 season.

The Spaniard finished the drivers' championship outside of the top four, and Britain's own Lewis Hamilton earlier this month stole Alonso's record for becoming the youngest ever world champion.

The pair each attracted more than 1000 votes apiece in The Times' ranking, with Alonso emerging with the number one spot by a margin of just ten.

The 27-year-old's minor victory made headlines in the international specialist media, including the websites of La Gazzetta dello Sport (Italy) and Marca (Spain).

72 votes behind McLaren's Hamilton, his 2008 title runner-up Felipe Massa came in third.

Winners of one race apiece, Robert Kubica (BMW) and Sebastian Vettel, meanwhile, ranked higher than the reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen.


Newcomer Timo Glock took eighth spot ahead of the other Toyota driver Jarno Trulli, and Hamilton's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen scored enough votes for only 12th.

Britain's other drivers, Jenson Button and David Coulthard, fared poorly in the ranking, with 17th and 19th positions respectively.

And two drivers that only completed the initial four races of 2008, Super Aguri's Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson, managed to avoid last place.

That dishonour befell Williams' Kazuki Nakajima, who will again line up on the grid for the British team in 2009.

not that i care about awards, but eh... slow off season

Seriously...

Piquet anyone? Anyone???

kaz actually did fairly well i think. piquet was a disgrace.

Piquet at least picked it up at the end of the season and had some results worth talking about. I think the only time all season the Speed commentators even bothered to mention Kaz was when they simply wanted to call him Kazoo. But other than that I can't think of anything significant he did all year.

I think he was a solid second driver for Williams. He seemed to beat the highly rated Rossburg as many times as he didn't.

Meanwhile, Glock and Piquet's main doings of the year revolved around crashing or losing place(s)

he was consistent and he didn't get blown away by his teammate. that's a good rookie performance in my book.

piquet DID get blown away except for a few exceptions

the williams team in general got very little coverage though

I heard Petrobras is switching from Williams to Honda next year, so who will provide Williams fuel?

Kubica has a bad reputation of being in a bad mood and super critical of his team already in his early career.

I makes me wonder how long Dr. Mario will but up with his shit

He's like the new Emoso, but without all those pesky wins and WDCs.

PS: Dr Mario!

[MrHahn]

Put some glasses on him and he'll even look like Mario Thiessen

[Redliner]

I saw Lewis Hamilton at the club...

Well, a dude that looked exactly like him. I asked him if he knew who Lewis Hamilton is. He said "no" and i said "Hah. Look him up...he makes more money than you bro. Famous racer" He just shrugged. I took a picture but it's really dark. Being black, he blends into the scene well

On second though, this was a pretty boring story... But I had to tell you guys...lol.
