McLaren: As a measure of just how good McLaren’s Fernando Alonso was in 2016, this year goes down as one of Jenson Button’s worse from his 17-season career – indeed only 2001 against Giancarlo Fisichella, and 2008 against Rubens Barrichello, compare. The 2009 world champion scored less than half the points of his team mate; spent almost half the amount of time in the top 10, and lost out in both the qualifying and race day head-to-heads, and by some margin in the former. In his defence, Button’s decision to step back at the end of the year may have been a factor, but that should take nothing away from how magnificent Alonso was. © formula1.com
