Kubica, no doubt about it.

Lewis obviously drove a great race, leading every lap, but Kubica doing so well in a Renault is great work.

Hamilton. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the race, but particularly the last 8-10 laps. Fantastic job by Lewis of managing the conditions, when he probably should have been brought in a lap earlier.

spot on mate.

Lewis Hamilton delivered in very difficult conditions..Kobayashi kept Alonslow behind.. Petrov, Sutil all very good.

Webber for sure!

He had a clutch issue at the start. Wasn't driver error his start. He told the team it bogged down on his warm up lap and they made a few changes which apparently made it worse in the end!

Hamilton ran off the road and was an inch away from binning it into the wall, can't be driver of the day for mine.

Kubica was better than Hamilton. Took a lesser car than the McLaren and Red Bull to the podium but made a mistake in the pits which lost a position.

Webber for mine!

In this order

1.Hamilton - brilliant start, top pace and managed a wonderful race
2. Schumacher - 21'st to 7 is pretty awesome + 14 grid spots
3. Petrov - 23'rd to 9 is pretty awesome + 14 grid spots
4. Kobayashi - 17'th to 9 is pretty awesome + 8 grid spots & kept Alonso behind him
5. Rosberg - 14'th to 6 is pretty awesome + 8 grid spots and nice pass at the end
6. Kubica - solid race was in the top 3 all race long
7. Webber - poor start but made it back well to finish 2nd. minimized his loss.
are you sh!tting me. Schum in the championship car- redesigned especially for him - fastest engine - and can't beat his teammate after driving over his wing and this is somehow awesome?

The only thing that was Awesome on this day was Hamiltion - period end of story!!

I know this will sound like I am biased...but for me I will give it to Webber, as in the past, when things haven't gone well, he has sometimes made silly mistakes. This drive showed a great level of maturity and focus.

Also great to see TIMMEEYYYY on the podium too...he deserves this after a pretty horrible year in the Renault.

I also enjoyed watching the Force India guys...well done to them.

Ummmm, Webbers poor start was due to a MECHANICAL issue... not one of his own.

He basically put it on pole and then clawed back from 7th to 2nd in the wet and he gets the 7th best ride? Uhmmmmm

first of all he made it on the list
second, screwing up the start, and basically holding station and making only one pass on the track on lap 2 to take 5th from massa is not exactly a cracker of a race. Button/vettel fell out in front of him and he basically had no answer for kubica and leaped to 2nd after the pitstop. Then got the safety car and was right behind hamilton and could not challenge for the lead ( although I will give him a slight pass and chalk it to smart driving for points) but the race was rather unspectacular from my pov and yet I still gave him 7th in my driver of the race. the other 5 ahead of him all battled hard to get to their respective spots and made many passes to achieve their final results. To me that merits a bit higher seeding in my honors.

I'm not having a go at Webber. I was was actually very pleased with the result and look forward to a dynamite battle between he and Hamilton.But in this race his performance was 7th best in my book.

...and that is why Hamilton was number one in my book right?

listen. I got to give credit where credit is due. If I told you before the start of the race that MSC will finish 7th would you have believed me?

Both he and Rosberg drove on one set of tires for more than 30 laps and clawed their way into the points in a car clearly not as good as even the Sauber imo
don't let your hatred of MSC blind you to a good result. I'm no fan of his either but it was an epic result for Mercedes GP and two drivers even went at it twice!

Petrov was even more impressive and if the rain did not come, would have finished 5th or 6th so I rate that performance very good as well along with kobayashi and lastly, WEbber.

Lewis was masterful, but others also drove outstanding races.

I would say Webber - I don't remember him making a single mistake during the entire race, as his bad start wasn't his fault, but a clutch problem. Hamilton drove superbly, but he was extremely close to retiring when he came off - 10 km/h faster and Webbo would have won the race.

If there's any mistake which Webber did and I didn't remember, then Hamilton is my pick. Kubica comes after.

If it werent for the safety car Schumacher would be ahead of Rosberg by 15 sec or so. I partial agree. I would have put Schumacher in the top 5 drive if he was able to finish ahead of Rosberg.
