Malaysia driver of the race

Pretty tough question this week I think! Hard to pick anyone who was beyond reproach today. Bianchi maybe

**N4D13** · 24th March 2013, 10:14

Grosjean? Well, I don't really know if he did anything special, but he didn't bin it, which is a good start.

Rosberg should also have an honourable mention. Webber should also get an award for not punching Seb before the podium.

No one stands out.

I'll go for Bianchi, too.

**henners88** · 24th March 2013, 10:16

Webber without doubt for me.

**ShiftingGears** · 24th March 2013, 10:19

Webber was on fire.

Edit: As was Rosberg.

I dont know how anyone can look past Mark Webber. He had a good start, brilliant drive and won the race in may ways. If he had been pitted first and had not turned the engine down he would have won.

Other mentions.

Bianchi - A 13th already and once more decent pace.

Hulk, Nico and Webber

I was going to decline choosing Webber as I saw it as he'd still been beaten by a superior Vettel, much as it pains me to say it.

But then I remember the little cheater turned his fuel up while Mark was lulled into a false sense of team order security.

Yep, Grosjean put in a pretty strong drive while Kimi was the one going off and making contact. Maybe they swapped cars and helmets today and no-one noticed.

Bottas for almost getting a point despite my mocking of his chances over on FGP.

Rosberg for not being destroyed by Hamilton, and for not being a little rat about the orders, despite being justifiably unhappy.

Jules Bianchi; ended up 13th(!) well ahead of the other 3, despite being held up by them early on.

Button did well until that pit stop.

Force India for continuing to increase in competitiveness each and every year since 2008. Amazing really since every year, people say they've reached their performance ceiling and yet they just find more.

On reflection I'm going for Nico. Accepting the team orders was probably the smart move. And being faster than Lewis Hamilton in the same car for most of the race is pretty impressive.

**A FONDO** · 24th March 2013, 10:35

Gotta be Bieber for ignoring team orders. Despite I dislike him, this is what I want to see more often.

Mark did a strong (for his standards) performance - especially at the launch.

Good impression from Hulk, solid drive and tough battle with Kimi.
