I'd take LH first myself.
Ricciardo drove brilliantly in last two races, he has great overtaking skills and a lot of speed, its going to be interesting to see how he fits into the driver ratings - him in the same team as LH or FA would be fascinating.
It must be tough if you are a Vettel supporter to see your man being overshadowed but he is taking it with good grace, which says a lot about his character - weirdly I like him more now than when he was winning!
BOT and HUL are unknowns as well - they both seem fast but is that because their team mates are not?
Feel a bit sorry for Nico - he is a very fast driver who in most any any other team would look exceptional.
Jules Bianchi may be a bit of a dark horse, rumored as having a chance of a switch to Ferrari...jammy bastard, film star looks and gets to drive an F1 car.

I agree, other than the pick of HAM over ALO if I was a team boss. I also look at BOT and HUL from more than this year. To me they have shown great relative speed in poor cars and faster cars and across a few different team mates. BOT is seriously competitive in a faster car and drove way above the cars competitiveness when he had a crap car. HUL has only been in crap cars and shown very good speed and results for what he has to drive. Not sure about ROS, seems a bit like Seb. I agree though, unlucky for him it's HAM and not WEB...
I also agree about Vettel, I didn't like him as a champ but this year his personality is so much better. A very good loser but a pretty poor winner.
