A season that started so brightly - what was it, seven different winners in the first seven races? - disappointingly degenerated into a two-horse race between the two drivers I care least about - Vettel and Alonso. So, trying to be objective, what did I make of it?
Vettel - you can't argue with three championships on the trot, and at least in the final couple of Grand Prix we at last saw evidence that he can race when he has to. Still think the championship is more Red Bull's than his though.
Alonso - put in the better overall performance I feel, as the Ferrari once again was not the best car on the grid, but he managed to coax consistently good performances out of it, and really it was somewhat of a miracle that he finished as close to Vettel as he did. Ferrari however once again showed that they are prepared to cynically bend the rules to get results.
Räikkönen - a distant third. One win, seven podiums and scored points in every race bar one. Five years away, but clearly still got it and if and when Lotus produce a more competitive car will be a force to be reckoned with.
The Brits (Hamilton and Button) - inconsistent, simple as that - whether it's them or the car, or some combination of the two I don't know, but they both showed themselves well capable of winning but, like I say, inconsistent.
