Shane Van Gisbergen
The Kiwi V8 Supercars driver just keeps on winning - three successive race weekends he has stood on top of the podium. The Red Bull Racing driver became the first driver to record three separate race wins on Sunday and he showed maturity and poise to overtake reigning series champion Mark Winterbottom early in the race and then strategically hold him off for the rest of the race. Van Gisbergen moved to second in the championship after the Townsville round and he's warming as the title favourite with every round.
Lewis Hamilton
Another week and the Brit Formula 1 star finds himself on this list once again. His win at his home event at Silverstone marks the fourth win in five races for the two-time defending world champion. He has eaten away teammate Nico Rosberg's early season lead in the standings and appears to be the driver to beat now that he has some momentum. He had a big hole to dig himself out of after watching the German claim the first four races of the season but Hamilton is back in a big way.
David Reynolds
Every now and then you get a rogue result in V8 Supercars. James Courtney rocketed through the field in the dying stages of Sunday's race at Townsville after a late safety car allowed drivers towards the back of the field to take a punt on pitting and having a crack on fresh tyres. Courtney's second place made for great spectator viewing but involved a significant amount of luck. That can't be said for Erebus driver David Reynolds, who looked likely for a podium until the safety car handed an advantage to his rivals. His ** place finish might not sound amazing but on the back of switching manufacturers, the team moving its base to Melbourne and Reynolds' off-season arrival at the team it showcased the huge strides the organization has made.
