Toto Wolff has joined Fernando Alonso in making a surprise choice as one of the very best drivers in F1 today.

Recently, Alonso surprised the F1 world by saying Daniel Ricciardo is today's top driver.

So when asked by France's Le Figaro newspaper to name his top three in F1 at the moment, Mercedes team boss Wolff answered: "In no order I of course say Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

"And third? Before Mexico, I think I would have said Sebastian Vettel. But now I will say Daniel Ricciardo.

"I make this choice because of the driver-personality package," he explained.

"But I wouldn't say that the attitude of Vettel in the race disappointed me, because he's not at Mercedes so it's not my problem," said Wolff.
