Fernando

**Phouepou** · 07-22-2012, 09:38 PM

Button for me

but Alonso was sublime

**Aceroassert** · 07-22-2012, 09:43 PM

Ki....no Alonso of course!

**statistica** · 07-22-2012, 09:44 PM

Alonso today

**sirmzereigMix** · 07-22-2012, 09:53 PM

What about the donkey? I couldn't single out anyone today, although Seb might be a candidate if that overtake on Button cost him a 25-second penalty. It's not a nice way to throw a podium away, even though it doesn't beat Maldonado.

Hail Caesar

Grosjean is the clear donkey. Made contact once again with somebody, finished a lap down out of the points while Kimi was 4th. A good driver, but too crash-prone at the moment.

Niki Lauda

Honourable mentions to: Alonso, Jenson, Button, Kimi, Rosberg. In that order.

**Izzy** · 07-22-2012, 09:58 PM

Driver of the race: Alonso - By a mile. No mistakes. Faultless and we will never know how fast he could have gone.

Other Mentions:

Button - Fine drive 6th to 2nd really. Despite finishing 3rd.
Raikkonen- Fine drive 10th to 4th.
Kobayashi- Done a good job for more points.
Perez - 17th to 6th. Another great job and looked so fast.
Petrov - Battled well in early stages finished a few places ahead of Heikki and held off the faster cars recovering of Senna & grosjean.

Fair point. You know, I have this weird thing going on in my mind and it looks like I can only remember the last 20 laps of a race or so.

**DumnEuronoumn** · 07-22-2012, 10:04 PM

Great drive by button.

I think that flat spot cost him the win.

**Tapupah** · 07-22-2012, 10:07 PM

Alonso, with a mention to Button.

Donkeys for Massa, Senna and Grosjean for their 1st lap antics, although I didn't see enough of the last 2 to see who hot who first. Massa's drive into the back of Kimi was schoolboy stuff

**gopsbousperie** · 07-22-2012, 10:20 PM

Alonso DOTD

No obvious donkey for me.

**DumnEuronoumn** · 07-22-2012, 10:27 PM

Grosjean drove like an idiot

**Stappipsy** · 07-22-2012, 10:34 PM

Noo, he rather drove like Vergne

**WebDocMan** · 07-22-2012, 11:49 PM

special mention now to Kimi for P3, and donkey now goes to Vettel

**Enliseell** · 07-23-2012, 12:37 AM

Despite the exciting battles at the front amongst all of the WDCs, I think special mention is deserved by the Saubers and the Force Indias. All 4 drivers played fair and provided some great entertainment.

I hope you are wearing diapers beneath your kilts......

**StitsVobsaith** · 07-23-2012, 02:54 AM

Hard to argue with Alonso as the driver of the whole weekend. A calm approach in variable weather on Saturday, and a controlled race in which there were only a handful of laps in which he looked remotely under pressure.

Not many donkeys but Massa's start was comedy gold, and Grosjean barely completed a whole lap on the tarmac all weekend.
