. And the guy who drive his heart out to pass and win the GP get's hardly any votes. Even F1's driver of the day went to Vettel??
You are surprised?

Lewis 'only' won because of Mercedes strategy, leaving Bottas to hold up Vettel, and someone in the pits taking advantage of VSC positioning viz-a-viz Lewis and Seb, to get him close to the Ferrari, and with the better tyre.
Fair play Lewis did what he had to, but hardly merits DOTR, for merely doing his job well.

Personally I would agree with the Ocon camp, to get a Sauber that high on merit was the ONLY aspect of the race worth a nickel in terms of DOTR. everyone else performed up to the machinery they had at their disposal, and no more.


As always feel free to disagree.
