    There was so much going on that I want to watch it again when I get home to decide.

    Half of the Drivers of the day deserve a Donkey award so it's confusing. The Hulk drove a great race but ultimately took out the race leader which has huge ramifications. Without that, McLaren would have been second in the constructors and had a few Million extra quid in the bank so it's not him.

    Button and Hamilton were great at the front and made only small errors. Button did well on slicks when others were on Inters.

    PdR had some moments but drove well up through the field until he lobbed it off

    Koby was dynamic and Vettel showed some good pace but caused at least one accident and drove another car off the track.

    so many, so many. I'll wait a bit till I see the replay.

    Button. He kept his nerve when many were opting for inters, and had a pitstop in hand until the safety car bunched them back up. As so often, he judged the conditions and grip to perfection.

    Honourable mentions to Massa, who would probably have finished a fine 2nd but for (understandable) team orders.

    Senna, made the race much more exciting!

    Seriously though, Massa was excellent. Definitely outpaced Alonso all race.

    Just because it's his last race and he drove well throughout the race despite the puncture, I must give the drive of the day to Schumacher. I'm going to really miss him and I wish him the best in his future life.

    Massa. He was head and shoulders above his team mate and moved over without moaning, when his team asked him to. True team player.

    And only would like to add that he did what he had to do to help Ferrari in the WDC............Felipe baby
    However I have to give it to Button and a special mention to Hamilton who drove a very good race until he was knocked out by Hulk!
    May the forza be with you

    Hard to separate many drivers, simply making it to the end was a massive achievement given the conditions.

    Button I think would have to take it for making the dry tyres work on a damp track better than anyone else.

    Honourable mentions to Massa, Hamilton and Hulkenberg (but for mistake of significant consequence).
