2: Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton, who switched from McLaren to Mercedes this year, had a comfortable start to the 2013 season. Hamilton grabbed consecutive poles in the British, German, Hungarian and Belgian Grans Prix but only managed to win one of them.

This result was seen disappointing because, the former world champion failed to lead the races for long even after grabbing the pole position. He currently stands 3rd in the Drivers’ Championship and has half a season left to improve his performance and results.

1: Felipe Massa

Felipe Massa has unarguably been the biggest disappointment so far, in this season. The Ferrari driver hasn’t managed a single pole position and only one podium finish. This performance has led Ferrari to re-think his future. Team principal, Stefano Domenicali, has admitted that Massa will stay at the team if he manages better results during the second half of the season.
