Man of the race ?

[LeonBrooke]

Massa cut through the field impressively, but Hamilton... like wow.

[Ari]

MASSA for mine!

Hamilton second and Kimi third.

[Viktory]

Definately Hamilton in my opinion. Although both Kimi and Massa put in an excellent performance and are a close second and third.

[AJP]

Hamilton for me...

Never raced at Albert Park....First race in a F1 Grand Prix...and a podium.

Big thumbs up...can't wait to see what he can do on a circuit that he has already raced on.

Kimi was also super impressive and only just misses out on my vote...

[TMorel]

Hamilton did what I expected - Alonso failed to live up to my expectations.
Nico and Massa, so I guess with the limits of the poll it'll have to be Massa

I'm thinking along with Nico, we might need to add the BMW drivers on the poll in a few races though.

Hamilton. No question. Anyone who matches the performance of a 2xWDC in the same car in their first GP is class.

Kimi drove a good race in the car which had the measure of everyone, as did Massa, but both those performances were to be expected.

[Shalafi]

Kimi AND Hamilton... both were really impressive. For me, Massa was a disappointment. Clearly with a fastest car he was surprisingly slow. He should of taken 4th place. Kimi said that he didnt have to push at all during the race and that he could of gone much quicker if necessary. Based on that, Massas speed was a real disappointing. No-one but blind Massa worshipper can say that he was a driver of the race or drove brilliantly. Very average performance by him.

Men and women of the race were those people who decided to go to sleep after the first 20 laps like me. Gosh, why did I wait that long?! :

Average performance ? You are joking...aren't you ? Did you forget that he started on back row, and got stuck behind Button and Rubens for many laps ? Anyway He managed to finish 6th and to me that was a great performance

No, Im not joking. Look at his lap times and compare those to Kimis who didnt have to push at all. And yes, he stuck behind Honda boys with a easily fastest car. If Nico can overtake Ralf with Williams, surely with Ferrari Massa should of overtaken the Honda boys. You have to consider machinery when counting the performance. Massas performance was a very average.
