I have already investigated and ranked the drivers currently occupying the bottom 11 spots in the drivers standings in part 1 of my mid-season review, but now lets look at the top 11 and delve into how they have performed so far.
The 2013 season has been another stand-out year so far, continuing from where 2012 left off with the titanic title battle between Vettel and Alonso. We could well see the same two drivers battling for this years championship but that is another story that will soon emerge.
Despite a 38 point gap between the championship leader and Kimi Raikkonen in second place, the battle is well and truly on with Alonso remaining in the frame and Hamilton emerging as a challenger too.
The top 11 drivers have all had their moments to shine with some incredibly impressive drivers alongside some questionable manoeuvres as well.
The fastest 11 drivers of this season so far are separated by 149 points, being made up of two Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Lotus and Force India drivers alongside Jenson Button's McLaren.
With half the season been and gone, there has been plenty to mull over during the summer break. Factories have shut down as F1 looks to cut costs, drivers have had time to relax along with team members and media being given crucial time off to recharge the batteries.
Now, with factories re-opening teams are hard at work developing upgrades, getting to work on the 2014 car and thinking over some very important decisions and details for the future.
Here I dissect each drivers season so far, giving them a grade that I feel they deserve from their performances so far after 10 rounds of the 19 race calendar. I rate the drivers from 1st to 11th in the typical school grading system of A to F. I will be using the USA's plus (+) and minus (-) gradings as well to give a more specific scoring for the drivers.
Let me know what you think in the comments below or on my social network accounts: Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
1st to 11th
1st: Sebastian Vettel
Team: Infiniti Red Bull Racing
Points: 172
Best result: 1st (MAL, BHR, CAN & GER)
Grade: A
You can't really fault Sebastian Vettel, can you? I mean, four race wins so far this season and only one non-score - through no fault of his own - is a pretty damn good first half to the year. He has been fast throughout and has been in contention for pole and podiums at every single race, hence the A grade.
However what prevents it from being an A+ to be honest is the fact that he is driving for Red Bull Racing and he arguably has the fastest car on the grid. At the disposal of Hamilton or Alonso, could they do better or at least match his results? I think so. However it really has been nearly faultless. What also brings his grade down is Malaysia. Now I loved the ruthlessness that he showed but I do feel he let the team down and after all, this is a team sport.
Aside from Malaysia, his stand-out drives have definitely been Canada, where he lapped almost all of the field, and Germany where we witnessed a thrilling battle between the German and his friend Kimi Raikkonen. We don't often see the triple world champion put under pressure but he held on beautifully to take his first home victory.
2nd: Kimi Raikkonen
Team: Lotus F1 Team
Points: 134
Best result: 1st (Australia)
Grade: A+
Some of you may be wondering why I have given Raikkonen a better grade in comparison to Vettel. Well, like Eric Boullier, I feel the Finn has done a stand-out job with the machinery he has. Lotus don't have the budget to develop the car on the same level as Red Bull and Ferrari but they are consistently at the front.
Also, don't forget that his second place at the Hungaroring was his 27th consecutive points score and that is something that has impressed me. We see so many inconsistent drivers nowadays - Grosjean and Maldonado being two names that come to mind - but the Finn is always there or thereabouts and sometimes in a car that shouldn't be so high up.
He has so far owned his team-mate in the head-to-head stats and his win in Australia was absolutely sublime. Could he win more races and match Vettel if he was in the Red Bull RB9? I think so, he is definitely up there with Alonso, Hamilton and Vettel as one of the top drivers on the grid - I actually think he is sometimes a little bit underrated.
His challenges for victory in Germany and Hungary were fantastic and he has really brought the points home, even if it isn't necessarily a race win. I also really admire his personality, he doesn't care what people think and does his own thing, says it how it is. It's really refreshing.
3rd: Fernando Alonso
Team: Scuderia Ferrari
Points: 133
Best result: 1st (China & Spain)
Grade: A
It has certainly been a difficult end to Fernando Alonso's first half of the season. It looked so promising for him after the Spanish Grand Prix, taking a popular and impressive victory on home turf. However problems at Ferrari's wind tunnel and issues with updates has meant that the team have slipped back, changes need to be made if the Spaniard wants to challenge for the title.
His low point of the season has, of course, been Malaysia where he hit Sebastian Vettel at the second turn, damaging his front wing. It was Ferrari's fault to not pit the double world champion and change his wing - drivers can't see their front wings so he was relatively unaware - but Alonso misjudged and damaged his car in the first place. Not what was expected of him.
However his wins in China and Spain made up for that, with some typically stunning Alonso drives. His second place in Canada was also a good result alongside his performance in the season opener. However his year has lacked consistency so far so he will be hoping that Ferrari can improve the car for the remaining nine races.
4th: Lewis Hamilton
Team: Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team
Points: 124
Best result: 1st (Hungary)
Grade: A
Winning the Hungarian Grand Prix after a handful of near misses in 2013 has really put Hamilton into the title battle, could this be the turning point of his season? It is fair to say that the Brit has had to deal with a less than ideal car - the W04 had a tendency early on to eat up its tyres - but he managed to collect consistent points scoring results.
2013 has seen just one non-score so far for the 2008 world champion and his driving has been typically strong although with a hint of frustration, particularly when slipping back through the field. However that is through no fault of his own, such as the tyre blow-out at the British Grand Prix that took away a certain victory. His pole laps have been superb and a joy to watch, he is driving very well this season with plenty to prove.
So he may sit 48 points behind the current championship leader but he is still in with a shot. If Mercedes can turn around their earlier troubles, they will definitely continue winning races because they have one of the fastest cars on the grid, probably second fastest just behind Red Bull - but it depends on the track. A surprisingly strong first half of his debut season for Mercedes with plenty more to come.
5th: Mark Webber
Team: Infiniti Red Bull Racing
Points: 105
Best result: 2nd (Malaysia, Great Britain)
Grade: B
I'm going to miss Mark when he leaves Formula 1 at the end of 2013. I met him just prior to that announcement at the Red Bull Racing #OPENHOUSE event and he was a thoroughly nice chap, taking the time to chat to me despite the awaiting queue of people. He is so honest and a great driver, a great talent that never really found the success deserved.
I rate him quite highly, so I'm surprised that he has yet to win a race this season. He was robbed of victory in Malaysia by Vettel but aside from that he just hasn't looked fast enough to challenge. In comparison to team-mate Vettel, his season has been mediocre at best with consistent points scores but nothing stand-out.
Saying that, his drive to second at Silverstone was strong and he performed well in Monaco. Low points? A clumsy clash with Vergne in China and slipping to seventh in both the Bahrain and German Grand Prix's. However I wish him all the best on his return to sports car racing and really hope he wins a race by the end of the year.
6th: Nico Rosberg
Team: Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team
Points: 84
Best result: 1st (Monaco & Great Britain)
Grade: B
I don't think Rosberg got enough credit for consistently out-qualifying and out-racing Michael Schumacher during their three year inter-team battle at Mercedes. I don't think I gave him enough credit and hence, seeing him matching Lewis Hamilton this season surprised me. But now I'm not at all surprised as I see his speed and talent, he has really developed into a potential title challenger.
What has held him back from challenging for this years championship title is inconsistency and reliability. He had an electrical problem at the season opener and lost more points in China due to suspension problems. His engine blew in Hungary although he failed to shine throughout the race weekend.
Mercedes had their tyre problems early on which cost him points after some truly stunning pole position laps. His win in Monaco was world class and he inherited victory at the British Grand Prix, but did well to hold on to the lead - winning a race is never easy, even if you inherit it. If Rosberg wants to close in on the points leaders, he needs better reliability from his team and to be more consistent with his performances.
7th: Felipe Massa
Team: Scuderia Ferrari
Points: 61
Best result: 3rd (Spain)
Grade: C
It has been another inconsistent and confusing first half of a season for Felipe Massa. We all so desperatly want him to start matching Alonso and winning races again, like when he was challenging for the title in 2008. However, with just one podium finish to his name so far in a car that has produced two race wins is very disappointing. No wonder his future at the team is being thrown in doubt once again.
So far in 2013 he has scored half of his total points scored last season. So that is a decent result and he has scored points on a more consistent basis in comparison to last year, but none of his results have really been stand-out. We have seen flashes of the 'old' Felipe but none that has produced the results we want him to get.
He was strong at the start of the Chinese Grand Prix before fading away, he lost some points in Bahrain alongside hefty crashes over the Monaco Grand Prix weekend which he fortunately came away from uninjured. A spin in Germany was driver error and he has just failed to impress me once again. Alonso is owning him once again in the head-to-head stats, lets hope he has a better end to the season.
8th: Romain Grosjean
Team: Lotus F1 Team
Points: 49
Best result: 3rd (Bahrain & Germany)
Grade: C
It's frustrating to see Romain Grosjean's season unfold because it is a tale of three drivers. One is super-fast and scoring podium finishes, the other is erratic and crashing on a consistent basis and the other is a tentative driver trying to steer clear of trouble. We thought he had turned a corner after 2012 but not much has changed.
I really like Grosjean as a person, his attitude is fantastic: always smiling, looking to the future and not thinking about poor results. We have seen his raw speed on a number of occasions and a handful of drives that has made me think that he could definitely challenge for victories. However so far the consistency isn't there and hence he can't get better than a grade C.
Monaco was a really poor weekend for Romain after crashing three times over the course of two days of running. He then crashed into the back of Daniel Ricciardo in the race, his second retirement in a row after a suspension problem forced him out of the Spanish Grand Prix. Two other non-scores followed to make it four races without points after his third in Bahrain. He backed that up with a third place in Germany and raced to sixth at the Hungaroring a few weeks later despite a few penalties. Overall we know he has the speed but, again, there are too many errors.
9th: Jenson Button
Team: Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
Points: 39
Best result: 5th (China)
Grade: B
With the equipment that he has at his disposal, Jenson Button's 14th season in Formula 1 hasn't been too bad. Of course, it isn't where he or the team want to be but overall he has driven well - albeit complaining a little bit too much (Bahrain as an example).
No one expected McLaren to struggle so much and the team has openly admitted that they went the wrong way with their 'revolutionary' car design. However Button has scored in seven of the 10 races so far this season and has out-raced his new team-mate Sergio Perez for the majority of the time. It hasn't been easy with a tricky car - something Button doesn't like - but he has ploughed on and got some good results to show for it.
Despite the lack of a podium, his fifth place in China was a good result considering the qualifying pace. His races are often flattered by strategy but without a good driver making the most of that strategy, the results won't come. I'm a big fan of his driving style and it has worked to his advantage with the new tyres. He should have scored in Malaysia but poor results in Canada and at his home race have been low points that he will be trying to forget.
10th: Paul di Resta
Team: Sahara Force India F1 Team
Points: 36
Best result: 4th (Bahrain)
Grade: B
Di Resta has really impressed me so far in 2013. He has performed strongly, part of which is thanks to Force India producing a good race car, with consistent points scores but a dip in form in recent races has meant that he has failed to continue his six consecutive points finishes between China and Great Britain.
Bahrain has been the stand-out race for the Scot so far. He raced well to finish fourth on a differing race strategy and almost managed to score his first podium, which I really hope he gets sometime soon. He has never driven so well and has rarely made mistakes; a drive in a top team could be closing in if he keeps it up.
The upgraded Pirelli tyres have not helped Force India with a decrease in pace at both the German and Hungarian rounds. He actually retired from the latter with a hydraulic failure but he was well clear of a point anyway. With plenty of potential in the car and tracks that suit both his driving style and the car, the future is looking positive.
11th: Adrian Sutil
Team: Sahara Force India F1 Team
Points: 23
Best result: 5th (Monaco)
Grade: B-
It is a B- for Adrian Sutil, just below his team-mate in the mid-season grading but with plenty of positives to discuss. Sutil returned to the sport after a year out and was immediately on the pace, like he had never been away. My views on the German have been tainted by his April 2011 club incident (you know what I'm on about) but all in all, his on-track driving has been strong.
Luck has not been on his side to be honest. He had four non-scores between Malaysia and Spain - most of which were through no fault of his own - and then fought back to finish a stunning fifth around the streets of Monte Carlo. He even managed to overtake Fernando Alonso into the Grand Hotel Hairpin - something that even impressed the double world champion. Seventh at the British Grand Prix was also impressive alongside the same result in the season opener, but as Force India's pace faded, so did the results.
He retired in Hungary after a poor 13th in Germany, so the team need to pick up the development and work on the issues that have emerged if they want both Sutil and Di Resta to make a return to consistent points scores. Work to do but plenty to be proud of for Sutil.
