Finest particular person efficiency – Max Verstappen
Max’s Brazil drive has to win right here as effectively. With the championship on the road, this was undoubtedly the drive of the season. To be aggressive and but clear, to be on the assault but make no errors alongside the way in which – this was his champions drive, simply because it appeared as if the season was turning. For me, it was Max’s greatest ever win.
Finest comeback drive – Carlos Sainz
In fact Max may have a declare to greatest comeback as effectively, seventeenth to first isn’t dangerous. However I’ll give it to a driver that went from DNS to first as a substitute. It’s been an extended season and it’s simple to neglect that Carlos Sainz missed race two in Jeddah with appendicitis.
His return in Melbourne was good although as he interloped as soon as once more into the newest run of Verstappen victories to drive via the discomfort and seal victory for Ferrari. It was an outstanding season for Sainz who will need to have discovered it robust, figuring out he was out of a drive in 2025. This drive encapsulated his battling 2024.
Really feel-good second – Lewis Hamilton
Now it is a difficult class for 2024. Charles Leclerc had two dwelling win contenders, significantly his Monaco victory, which in every other yr would have claimed it. I’ve needed to go for Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone as a substitute although. Being at each of those races this yr was a privilege, to witness what it meant for the victorious driver, however there’s simply one thing completely different for Hamilton at Silverstone.
