Driver of the Race

Driver of the race for me was Alonso and Perez. I can't split them really.
Alonso is a well established driver who is used to winning and he did drive brilliantly.
Perez outdrive himself and the car brilliantly and would be my driver of the race outright but for his little error towards the end.

Other mentions:
Raikkonen - A great drive with no KERS and some good solid points.
Senna - Drove really well came up through the field in the wet and pushed hared all day and some great points.
Di Resta - A weird day wasn't brilliant or fast but stay out of trouble to score some points.
Vergne -A good solid drive for his first points.
Petrov - Did a solid job finished ahead of Heikki and showed good pace to battle with faster cars.
Glock - Great effort to stay ahead of Kovalainen and also way ahead of his young team mate.

Alonso, Perez, Senna and the Kimster

Fernando Alonso was the driver of the race, absolutely nerveless.

Perez was excellent but crucially:
- The (presumably joint) decision not to pit with Alonso;
- Sergio running wide whilst giving chase;

...cost both the driver and team a victory they deserved on pace alone.

Honourable mentions to Kimi Raikkonen and Bruno Senna.

Just because Massa is driving at Alex yoong level doesn't mean the car sucks. It was obviously a very fast car in wet and slippety conditions today, there is no question about that.

Perez, Alonso and Senna.

Kimi, I´m proud of you.

1 Perez
2 Kimi

I'm betting that Ferrari are ruing letting Kimi go now. Kimi is putting in solid results in that Lotus.

What Ferrari did wrong was always one thing - they didn't listen to KR. They made the car not suit him, they did not listen to what he wanted from the car. At least that is true from when Todt was gone from the team. LdM could roam free then.

Massa, Massa, Massa. All day long.

Oh hang on, wrong thread. :D

I see some of you mention Sergio's small mistake in the end... well for me it is much better to push and fail, rather than just cruise for the place.

Both Alonso and Perez
