Max Verstappen has been voted unanimously as the best driver of the 2024 F1 season, by all 10 team principals.
Each team principal was asked by F1.com for their top 10 drivers of the season, with the current F1 point system used to add the ratings together to discover the outright top 10.
Verstappen received the maximum 250 points after being awarded first place by all the team bosses. He was followed by Lando Norris, who received 72 points fewer.
Charles Leclerc claimed third and, like Norris, moved up one position compared to the team bosses 2023 top 10.
Oscar Piastri was the biggest mover from the top teams, receiving fourth place on the list – three places higher than he ranked last year.
Carlos Sainz claimed fifth, also one position higher than he was in the team principals 2023 rankings.
Lewis Hamilton dropped two places to seventh, whilst two-time world champion Fernando Alonso was the biggest mover in the wrong direction – falling from second to ninth.
