#2 Alonso Whitewashes Vandoorne
We all know how talented Fernando Alonso is, and the Spanish legend will be dearly missed in Formula 1 in 2019. However, despite his imminent retirement, he's lost none of his speed, out-qualifying his McLaren team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne for every race this season.
This is no mean feat, especially when this is the joint-longest season in the sport's history at 21 races. This is a real rarity in Grand Prix racing as well, the last man that drew a blank compared to his team-mate over an entire season was Nelson Piquet Jr. at Renault in 2008. Who was Piquet's team-mate that season? None other than Fernando Alonso.
He may be driving a dog of a McLaren (managing only 15th today) but Alonso is arguably driving the best he ever has. Let's hope that he gets the triple crown next year to make up for never winning a third F1 title.
