Ricciardo - punted off lap 1 and recovered to 6th with a Renault engine in the back of the car, lots of great overtakes on the brakes. Honourable mentions to Massa and Alonso too.
Hamilton? Took the fastest car to 4th place - he was gifted a bunch of places on the first lap when people took each other off/out and pitted for damage, after that he DRS'd / Mercedes powered his way past the Saubers, Mclarens and the asthmatic Renaults so not quite as impressive when you look at it more closely. Before the race Merecdes predicted 4th for Hamilton and that's where he got to.
