    For me the drivers of the race were Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber. Can't really seperate them today.

    Other mentions

    Massa - Iknow he finished only 6th, but was losing grip on older tyres, he outraced Alonso all day and could have finished higher in other circumstances.

    Schumacher - A good comeback from 14th to 8th. Battled hard and raced well.

    Kovalainen - A good solid race for Team Lotus, finished ahead of Maldonado and Perez and only 1 lap down.

    D'Ambrosio - Out performed Glock all weekend. Couldn't have done anymore in that car so beat his team mate well.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Rosberg was locking his wheels left right and centre and I don't really see how he can be compared in his race management to Lewis to be honest. Lewis wasn't the only driver who had a great race and it was nice to see Mercedes up there squabbling for points but the only drivers in the last 7 laps who were charging for a podium were Hamilton and Webber who clearly handled the conditions in the closing stages better than anyone else IMO. Webber had the advantage of his last stint being on soft's and McLaren had the advantage of making their soft's earlier in the race last longer than Red Bull.
    well said
    you can't argue with results.

    Lewis and Webber were both great, honourable mention to Massa as well. I was dissapointed with Rosberg today, surely his best ever chance to win a grand prix?
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Hamilton & Webber. Very hard to pick one driver as both looked like their races were finished after 12 laps.

    Can't believe no one's mentioned this but solid drive from Massa and back to his best (form, another story....)

    Faded a bit at the end but he was excellent today.

    Tie between Hamilton and Webber though. Great drives I would never have put money on!

    Webber for me. Then Massa, then Hamilton.

    Hands down, Webber. Hamilton did a great job, but a win from his place wasn't out of the question... it was a plausible outcome. Webber being on the podium though? Comical ....never happen....
    Ooops...

    Hamilton, especially after the late drama before heading to the grid which could've messed up his concentration. Webber too for a storming drive at the end, shame he didn't start on those tyres!

    Honourable mention to Pirelli for one of the most exciting races I've seen for a while, caused by the tyres slowly degrading rather than completely falling apart
