F1: Top 5 drivers of the 2013 season

4. Romain Grosjean

Romain Gorsjean showed he has what it takes to be in Formula One as he finished on the podium despite his first lap incidents in the 2012 season,

Quite remarkably is the most improved driver of the year. From being tagged as a “first lap nutcase” last year to a regular podium finisher in the season, Grosjean was able to match team-mate Raikkonen in the second-half of the year, not only in qualifying but also in the races as well. He was spurred on by being given the preference once Raikkonen decided to quit Lotus at the end of the season. But at the end it was his maturity, less eccentric and more confident driving on the track that helped him finish the season with 6 podiums and also a contender for matching the Red-Bull’s in 2014.

High-point : Getting rid of the sobriquet- first lap nutcase and 2nd place finish in Austin, TexasLow point : Crash in Monaco a reminiscent of his last year first lap mishaps
