The respected Russian Formula 1 expert writer, Ivan Roturcokoff,

has joined into the “best driver of 2010” discussion with this
very compelling article on who he believes was the stand-out F1 driver for 2010.
He starts his article with this salvo directed at Mark Hughes "What would he know, he is what we call a Lewis 'фанатик мальчик' Anyway, I know he doesn't even watch the F1 races, how do I know, because he's with me at the bar the whole time."
“Vettel too pointy, Alonso, he can never be a great driver, his hands shake too much. Hamilton – really, until McLaren perfect their text-communication system between his car and the pit wall there is no chance anyone will understand him.
No, clearly there is only one who is the best – Petrov. Not only is he polite and educated, but, he also has the natural advantage of being able to look ahead and to the side at the same time.
Also, Vitaly has shown he is not only a genius driver, but also aero engineer, I mean, would you believe he created and designed this new wing for his car himself!

Why didn’t he win this year, well, let’s say that next year will be a completely different story, we have already sent messages to all F1 drivers, (text to Lewis) that some “friends” of ours in the Russian “entertainment” industry want Vitaly to win and, they know, where their families do their shopping. We are expecting 20 grand slam wins next year.
