You can't make a list like that without Vettel. My gut feeling is he's faster than Hamilton given the same equipment. He's leading the wdc in a slower car. Considering how fast Hamilton is, that by itself has to put Vettel in the list of top drivers.

Verstappen... depends on the day. I can see him being a top driver if he gets more consistent, but I think he has some maturing to do first.
