The Autocourse Top 10 is:

  3. Lando Norris
  4. Lewis Hamilton
  5. Charles le Clerc
  6. Carlos Sainz
  7. George Russel
  8. Oscar Piastri
  9. Alex Albon
  10. Pierre Gasly
Sergio Perez doesn't even get a mention.
 
Verstappen #1 for third year running. Norris #3 for third year running but the driver in second has been different every year (Hamilton, Leclerc, Alonso)

Perez was the first driver who finished 2nd in the championship and wasn't in the top 10, ignoring two cases where 2nd place driver was killed/seriously injured during the season (Peterson, Pironi). Those drivers have been left out from the ranking regardless of their performances. Jochen Rindt wasn't in the list during the year he won the title posthumously.

Räikkönen (2018) and Bottas (2021) were not on the list after 3rd place in the championship.
