I'd give him DOTD although there are quite a few others who were also close to deserving it. We know the Red Bull is very quick and despite rear tyre managment problems in the opening races it suddenly looks very good in that departtment... but what does that say about Marks performance in Bahrain, was he really that awful?
We also had Nico on Pole yet he went backwards nine places while Lewis was able to move up through the field, it really is confusing... is it the tyres?
"a lot of the drivers are noticing that the first three laps of a stint are the most crucial for the life of a tyre. If you don't push in the first three you get more life out of them at the end." Lewis Hamilton
You'd think this was common knowledge among the drivers though, so it's all very strange to me.The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!

I don't know, what it is, but maybe his strong finish to the 2012 campaign and also lots of in-depth discussions we have had here about what kind of driver he is, might have had an impact in the overall view. Or we are all just maturing. :
It looks like we have at least four top drivers on the grid at the moment, who also incidentally happen to occupy the first four places in the championship. However, it is instantly noticable if something is out of balance and one of them gets far less credit. Leaving personality-liking aside, it would only be possible if something was very wrong with his driving, but this isn't the case.
All kind of DOTDs (I am not bothered to mention them any more this year) are subjetive indeed, so it is good to watch the general mood of the forum and make some observations. Obviously I like to pay attention to the general athmosphere of the forum.
As for Webber's underperformance... Grosjean was 10th in Australia in a race-winning car and Massa 6th in China. So it looks like it is difficult to make the tyres work this year, which has enlarged the gaps between team-mates. Basically this means all four top drivers deserve credit for where they currently sit in the championship.

Seb, for his brilliant moves the first couple of laps and fpr solid drive thereafter.
Have to mention Kimi and Romain to.
