    Abu Driver of the Race

    Well then it's all settled, but which drivers drove less rubbish than the others?

    1.Ricciardo got 3rd from the pitlane? Hamilton did that in Hungary but Ricciardo in a mere Red Bull. Not bad. Not bad. EDIT: It was 4th

    2.Felipe almost winning.

    3.Probably Hammy I guess for his start and not doing a Brazil 2008, or 2007 come to think of it, but finally seeming to have overcome his nerves and just do the job!

    Lewis, obviously.

    Well done to Lewis. He did deserve this, all things considered. I think he will make it Championship No.3 next year as well. With equal reliability I can't see Nico beating him over a whole season, and I don't think any of the other teams will catch up with Mercedes, so it's looking good for Lewis for at least one more year.

    Driver of the race itself? Massa and Ricciardo. Both of them.

    Lewis as driver of the race .A fantastic start,and never looked back .
    Nico may have had more support ,but for the problem in Spa and Monacco ,the way he played his cards there.
    Good drivers of the year are Ricciardo,and Bottas ,who with the right equipment will be world champions too in future years.

    Massa and Ricciardo.

    I was tempted to give it to Lewis as he was faultless and made an incredible start but had so much of an advantage that he was coasting it compared to the others. Doubt he'd be dissapointed in my vote though with being WDC..

    Yep, that surpised me as I totally hadn't realised the pitwall could still control these parameters.

    And yet, the FIA wants to control what you can and can't say over the radio.
