6: Fernando Alonso

Although Fernando Alonso stands second in the Drivers’ Championship table, he is a whopping 46 points behind the three-time world champion Vettel. Alonso hasn’t grabbed any pole positions so far this season and has had only two wins.

And this is arguably low by both Ferrari’s and the Spaniard’s standards. However, he has managed to six podium finishes till now. Even so, the fans expect much more from him as Lewis Hamilton is not far behind at the 3rd position.

5: Cancellation of Indian GP

In 2013, the shortage of dates led to cancellation of the Indian GP from the 2014 Formula One calendar; a massive blow to the Indian fans, who really took a lot of pride in hosting the spectacular event.

The FIA later announced that the Indian GP will return in the 2015 Formula One calendar, but will be held in March instead of October.
