Ranking: The Top F1 Drivers of the Decade

#1 Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton is a five-time F1 champion, winning all but one of his titles in the 2010s.

Lewis Hamilton matches Vettel's four driver's titles in the 2010s but edges out the German thanks to the greater number of GP wins and the fact that he's the strong favourite for this year's title.

Hamilton has also won at least one race in every season he's competed in, - stretching back to 2007 - whereas Vettel failed to stand on the top step in both 2014 and '16, so the Brit has been more consistent for longer, despite not always being in the best car.

For the most part, though, Hamilton has been in the best car, his move to Mercedes in 2013 proving to be an inspired decision. Despite this, though, Hamilton has been extremely impressive and if anything, is looking faster and more mature than ever before going into the 2020s. It's hard to see him falling off the F1 performance cliff anytime.

In total since the start of the decade, Hamilton has won 67 Grands Prix and stood on the podium 114 times from 184 starts. He's also claimed 68 pole positions since 2010, the same amount as Michael Schumacher claimed in his entire illustrious time in F1.

When you also factor in that Hamilton finished runner up in the driver's championship in 2016 and was in contention going into the final round in 2010 and there's nobody that can touch Hammer Time this decade.
