Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #11 George Russell

Qualifying was where George Russell gained an important edge at Mercedes in 2024, which he put down to his confidence rising in situations where the pressure is on. He ended up with a small but still significant 0.148s advantage over a driver with 104 F1 poles in Lewis Hamilton.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #10 Thierry Neuville

After 17 years of hard graft, Thierry Neuville can finally call himself a world rally champion. Five-times a runner-up, the Hyundai driver enjoyed a standout season by leading the championship from start to finish, a feat most recently achieved by Sebastien Ogier in 2016.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #9 Sho Tsuboi

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #8 Kevin Estre

Maybe not the ace in the pack of the Porsche Penske Motorsport World Endurance Championship squad in year one of the 963 LMDh race programme, Kevin Estre came of age in 2024 when he had the car under him to do the business - and also, perhaps, when he didn’t!

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #7 Pascal Wehrlein

Pascal Wehrlein merited his world title after making no season-defining errors. He only non-scored twice due to collisions that weren’t his fault.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #6 Carlos Sainz

A classy year for Carlos Sainz in difficult circumstances, in knowing that first, his Ferrari seat was going to Lewis Hamilton in 2025 and second, in losing a race to appendicitis. The Spaniard bounced back from the illness with a fine victory in Melbourne, and his victory in Mexico was perhaps…

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #5 Scott McLaughlin

Had it not been for Team Penske’s push-to-pass scandal that rocked the IndyCar Series and negated a third-place finish in the St Petersburg season-opener, Scott McLaughlin could very well have been crowned champion.

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #4 Alex Palou

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #3 Lando Norris

Undoubtedly, his best Formula 1 season to date – with the statistics proving so. In 2024, Lando Norris finished as championship runner-up (his previous best finishing position was sixth in 2021 and 2023), he took four wins in breaking his GP victory duck (along with a sprint win too) and…

Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #2 Charles Leclerc

If 2024 was a year when Ferrari made it clear exactly how much Charles Leclerc means to the team – signing him to a new contract and leaving Carlos Sainz exposed when Lewis Hamilton became available – then he too showed how much the Prancing Horse means to him.

A hope and a prayer: Are there enough reasons to justify Lawson's Red Bull deal?
