As the title suggests you can choose any one of the current crop.

Money and current contract are no object.

Yep, I'd go with Alonso.

So you have the best car/team by a small margin and Alonso under contract for two years.

Who else from the current crop of drivers do you hire?

I think Rosberg is doing a good job this year so would go for him with Bottas maybe.

Ricciardo

Bottas as number 2.

I'd go for a youth team and have a lineup settled for the next few years as both drivers improve.

Most definitely NOT Alonso. Too expensive and too old plus .... too .. everything.

Would invest in one of the several up and coming younger drivers. One or two have impressed me this season. They must be the future.

Depends what sort of budget I had of course, and it would be too easy for me to pick the sport's 'superstar' drivers- but Hamilton and Alonso's stock will be sky high, as will Riccardo's since his Red Bull successes. My preference then would be for a young but reasonably experienced line-up who I firmly believe could have WDCs and WCCs in their future; Grosjean partnered by Bottas, Vergne or maybe Magnussen. I think you could stick any one of these drivers into a car which is as good as the best and they could convert it.

For me it would definely be Ricciardo as the teams no 1 driver , quick, ballsy with a positive attitude & sponsors winning smile.

For the 2nd driver I think Bottas as he is a great racer , I also like the look of Daniil Kvyat as he is totally unphased in his rookie season.
