Driver of the Race: Alonso- An incredibly calm win despite all the chaos. He stayed calm and won a weird race.

Other mentions:
Raikkonen - 3 stops must have been hard but a decent effort.
Massa - Good job fro Felipe.
Ricciardo - Only finished 10th but still a good effort throughout today.
Pic - won the backmarker race and chased a Williams all day

There were some commendable drives out there today. Alonso did a great job but the Ferrari was pretty unbearable. Massa recovered well and Kimi was excellent.

I think Button bringing home good points was an outstanding effort and PdR made some great inroads but think he could have been a bit more aggressive in the last few laps.

For a change, I'll give it to Ricky for his efforts.

no-one really distinguished themselves. Can't really give it to Alonso since he had an enormous car advantage. Rosberg was good in an appalling car.

If PdR had been more agressive, he'd have cooked his tires. Pirelli's substandard products don't allow racing.

he's had the same car advantage that vettel did in 2011, but has bottled it in qualifying over and over and made mistakes in the races.

he did drive a solid race today, but it was an easy win.

The top three did very well. Vettel is probably crying into his pillow right now.

I don't think I have seen Alonso 'bottle' it for a very long time. Perhaps wrong choice of words.

I was quite impressed with Rosberg this race. He outshone Hamilton though I think Hamilton never found the set up he really wanted in the car. I give Rosberg drive of the race along with Alonso who once again showed his class. I'd give anything for Alonso to be world champion this year. He deserves it the most of all drivers on the current grid.

I thought Rosberg did well to recover 6th, I didn't think he'd finish above 9th at some point. Raikkonen did well again - 3rd second place finish in a row. I thought Alonso and Massa being on the podium indicated that Ferrari was the best car in the conditions, but that said, Alonso's start was fantastic.
