Total bore fest.
Hamilton started well and won with as little effort as possible and Rosberg never challenged.
I too thought there was little in the way of outstanding performances. I will vote for Fred. Alonso was very good today.

Räikkönen for sure. Solid drive and strategy by Ferrari, even though he couldn't get by Max the Swerve.Quote:

I'm still on the fence about that first move by Max that ended up damaging Kimi's wing, but for the most part he showed he won't crack under pressure and knows how to make the car wide without pushing the rule too far.
Jensen Button.
Why? For a remarkable display of calm.
I think that he should have just sworn a streak across the sky. Being given a penalty when quite obviously the car had a problem and was demonstrably unsafe, is utterly ludicrous.
Kimi, his best race this season so far!
If everyone on the track start to drive like that, there would regular crashes on race weekends. Waiting to defend at the last moment after the attacking driver has made a move is asking for someone to crash into him. The Raikonnen crash into Verstapenn was completely unavoidable. In certain circumstances, it could have been much worst. And there was the double change of directions, which is simply not how it is done. I don't think that is great defending or driving. It is not much different to Rosberg's defensive move at Spain that caused the Mercedes wipe out.Quote:

Kimi misjudged it .
Once you have made the first move you don't get a second.Quote:
