Of course Hamilton's drive though the field was impressive, but this is Driver of the Grand Prix, not Driver of the Race. So throwing it into the wall in qually totally excludes him from contention.

Vettel won and could probably have gone quicker if he had to, so plenty of kudos to him. And Fred was doing pretty well too. If Renault sort their reliability next year, Alonso/McLaren/Renault is going to be an interesting package.

Massa has grown. At Ferrari he was a nobody, but the last few years he has become quite something. Fitting end.
