The season is over and between all the Sebastian/Fernando/Kimi/Lewis is the best bashing, it is time to determine if a new future champion knocked on the door this year.
What I want to know is, who do you think was the best Rookie of this season? And which drivers passed their Rookie-exam and are allowed to come back next year?
This is my list:
1. Jules Bianchi - Showed great pace immidiatly
2. Valtteri Bottas - Great last two races, stood up against his more experienced teammate.
3. Giedo van der Garde - Strong second half of the season, maybe the most suprising Rookie this year.
4. Esteban Gutierrez - Was expecting more, was way overclassed by his teammate, should have done slightly better especially in the second half of the season.
5. Max Chilton - Been destroyed by his Rookie teammate, does not qualify for the title Rookie of the year IMO.
Jules, Valtteri and Giedo deserve another opportunity next year IMO, in other words I think Esteban and Max failed their Rookie-exam.
What are your thoughts on this years Rookies?
