Nico. No contest. Took pole, had the best start(unlike Lewis) - and was just in control from beginning to end. Just on another level. I think people were thinking he was written off - after the beginning and middle of the season. It does show some of the toughness which he can displayed last season. It does put him in a good position for next year.

Special mentions to Kimi - probably his best performance of the year. Vettel for coming through the field. Verstappen as well - for some more ballsy overtakes.

Sergio Perez. He was very strong in qualifying and the race, and he has really been in great form of late.

My vote could also have gone to Rosberg, who did everything he needed to do.

Several good drives in an otherwise boring race. Think I'll give it to Jense for continuing to show a fighting spirit against the odds, but good drives by Nico, both Ferrari drivers, Perez, Sainz for his first lap and although not mentioned here so far, Grosjean.

Checo. Once again destroys the Hulk.
1.5s faster in quali. 30secs ahead in the race.

Perez has had all the best results this year, and I think Hulk will be off the radar as that great driver that never got a good drive. That Ferrari seat is looking less likely.

Rosberg had the measure of Hamiton for the first half of the race, but Hamilton sure closed the gap pretty quick in the middle didn't he?. Mercedes just stuffed him over with pit stops otherwise he may have gotten past Nico.

Max wasn't so flash this time. 2 penalties, off the track multiple times, behind his teammates (all 3) in quali and the race... not a good finish to the season.

Grosjean, yeah he was quick. Shame he'll spend the next year or two fighting with Manor.

Largely agree with this.

Not sure how to interpret that - Haas shouldn't be as far off the pace as the current Manor (because they've essentially got a Ferrari) and Manor won't be as far off the pace with their Mercedes and Williams parts. I can see both Haas and Manor beating Sauber next year and if the Lotus/Renault thing doesn't get sorted out soon then they're going to be struggling to get the new car sorted for the start of next season too.

Hamilton. I've just read on the Internet that Mercedes made his car 0.6s a lap slower on purpose. To doe. So close after that is amazing.
