Top F1 Drivers to watch in 2019

#1 Lewis Hamilton

Races: 230

Wins: 73

Poles:84

Podiums:135

There would hardly be any doubters against this one because such has been the dominance of not only Lewis but the Silver Arrows ever since the Turbo era began. Lewis seems to be the gold standard driver (if there ever is) on the grid right now and he has beaten his adversaries fair and square at every opportunity.

Last year, the Mercedes was not the outright fastest car on the grid but still, Lewis had the ability to string together better results than what someone of the caliber of Sebastian Vettel managed to speak a lot about how good he was. He's in a great mental space right now as well as he has found the right balance in his personal and professional life which clearly shows. In 2019 Lewis would be raring to put even more gap between himself and Vettel as he goes after his 6th world title.
