Driver and Drivers of the race
I think Alonso, by a country mile. He's F1's first among equals and today he's proven it again.
Ricciardo, Hamilton and Rosberg did spectacularly well. The first two massively benefitted from the early safety car to mask their bad starts, but other than that, they drove faultlessly. Rosberg also did really well but that SC destroyed his race after he had earned a massive advantage in the first laps.
Riccairdo.
A master class in how strategy and driving skill from such a young driver can outdo even the best drivers.
Alonso :D
Ric
(Ham) -> lucked it with the SC and couldn't pass Alo, otherwise great drive
Several were brilliant but I have to give it to Alonso.
Hamilton
Mentions also to Alonso, Ricciardo and Kimi.
Ricciardo for that great pass on Alonso.
Alonso for holding on to that 2nd place.
Overall Driver of the Race:
Fernando Alonso - What was a Ferrari doing second? How was Alonso still going on such old soft tyres and how did he drive all this. He would have won, if Lewis held of Ric. Awesome drive and he deserves a better Ferrari or a Merc/Red Bull drive.
Other Mentions:
Daniel Ricciardo - Just behind Alonso IMO, but a great drive and another fine win.
Lewis Hamilton - Struggled a bit by the end and spun on Lap 1, but Pitlane to 3rd is amazing, helped by a SC.
Vergne - I thought he done really well in a Toro Rosso. Was 2nd and under no pressure in mid race and scored a couple more points.
EDIT: I have removed Nico Rosberg. I feel actually after looking at it, Nico did an average job today
Any of the top 3 with an honourable for Vergne. Keeping the Mercs behind in a Torro Rosso is a neat trick.
Alonso, no contest. Taking that lump of pig iron to second makes Jesus walking on water look like a lame stunt.
