Driver of the race - Chinese Grand Prix

[gm99]

My nomination this time goes to Vitaly Petrov - great race, kept it together in difficult conditions and to top it off, passed one Michael Schumacher.

Petrov!

Petrov was really great, Button obviously. Also good for Alonso (after the jump start). Rosberg and Kubica get honourable mentions too.

Why was petrov so great when he finished far behind his teammate and was slower pretty much all race long?

Petrov followed by Alonso

Button for me, great race, right tyres at the right times, managed the conditions brilliantly, despite safety cars.

Petrov was excellent too, great racing and passing.

Lewis was quick, but too many incidents for me, pit stop release was probably ok, at the same time as vettel. not sure about the webber incident.

Rosberg drove well, but threw away the lead with a small mistake, might have been difficult to beat otherwise

thats not a bad call, Petrov raced well, but Kubica obviously had the better race

Like only 2 places behind? Petrov is a rookie in case you have forgotten.

Drive of the race goes to Button for managing to salvage it even if only by a very small margin.

25 seconds behind. That is a big margin.

25 seconds behind. That is a big margin.

Let's try again: He's a rookie and Kubica is in his 5th season. Spot the difference?
