Esteban Ocon put in an outstanding performance this year with Force India, finishing every single race in the top ten bar two.
As a reminder, it was the Frenchman's first full season in Formula 1, and his remarkable consistency was the perfect match for his team's reliable performance and efficiency.
Snapping more often than not at the heels of his vastly more experienced team mate Sergio Perez, Ocon displayed his skills and racecraft from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi.
From a gem in the rough, the 21-year-old is evolving into a refined and polished driver, and a force to be reckoned with in the future.
