5. Sebastien Loeb – World rally champion
4. Marcus Gronholm - 2nd in WRC

It's nice to see they have placed Marcus ahead of Loeb. It's a pity he lost the driver's championship because of that unfortunate moment in Ireland where he crashed out.

 

[Centurion]

I don't get why they have ranked jenson Button higher than Kubica and Heidfeldt.

 

[Monster]

Or Massa for that matter. Actually Jenson should not be in the top 15.

 

[Zonda]

How can they rank Nascar drivers ahead of a DTM champion?

He's british.

I disagree with that. I'm not a Loeb fan and he is probably my least favorite rally driver, but I think Marcus threw the title away. He crashed out of two consecutive at the end of the season. He got away with the first crash in Japan because Loeb crashed out after him. Then, inexplicably, Marcus crashed out of Rally Ireland and paid the price.

Jenson is ranked higher than them because he's capability in tricky conditions, plus in what he achieved in a rather crappy car this year.

personally, i think Massa made the biggest improvement this year.
