Driver of The Race

Kimi, he got a podium in that garbage.

Kimi was asleep at when the safety car went in, if he hadn't been jumped by Bottas he may well have finished second. I say he's a donkey.

Don't normally pick the winner if he is in the best car, but can't look past Nico R, did everything right... again - can't fault him in any way.

Also mention to Alonso just as faultless as Nico and 6th for the horrible Honda was astonishingly good.

Also cudos to K Mag, Grosjean and Marcus Ericsson all drove well.

Lewis recovered pretty well from the middle of the pack and was about to reach Rosberg when the team stopped him.

Alonso and Hamilton in that order.

Not the team stopped him, a water leak did. Even when Merc told him the problem had stabilized, he was slower than Räikkönen for most of the rest of the race. I don't think he would have done that voluntarily. It's really annoying how little credit people are willing to give where it is due. Rosberg is simply better than in the last two years, not the least due to coming into the season with the confidence of having beaten Lewis fair and square three times in a row at the end of last year.

I think Toto Wolff made it abundantly clear yesterday what he thinks of those, who come out with conspiracy theories.

I couldn't help but wonder how a water leak "stabilizes"?

Turning down the engine even further than they do to begin with? Main cooling is still provided by air. would explain why HAM was suddenly slower than Räikkönen, and the latter was hopeless to begin with.

Fernando!
