[Official] Driver of the Grand Prix: Singapore Grand Prix 2015

[Born Racer]

Who is your driver of the Grand Prix?

[Ospi]

Has to be Vettel with Ric close behind. Different league those two.

[steve nielsen]

Max Verstappen without a doubt: started the race 1 lap behind the whole field and finished P8.

[TheNo1F1Fan]

Difficult to vote. Either Vettel for the pole-to-win, Ricciardo for another podium finish, Verstappen for his great overtakes or Nasr for his overtakes.

[chillibowl]

'NO' Verstappen

voted for Vettel.

[dsg]

Seb then Dan.

Max did ok but was massively helped by the safety cars and didn't really pass anyone he shouldn't have.

[Hawkwood]

I voted for Rossi.
I know others probably performed better overall, but coming in as a rookie and pasting your teammate who's been driving that car all year... bloody good job.

[Sodemo]

I voted for Bottas. I lost where the drivers all were after the safety cars that appeared so I can't give a 100% true judge, but the Williams isn't suited to these kind of tracks, so I thought 5th was a good result.

[stripedcat]

I was tempted to give it to old Fingerman himself - it reminded everyone of his domination at Red Bull, and Danny Boy was also superb - but I am going to give it to Verstappen for getting up to 8th(okay safety cars helped). A determined drive and some great overtakes.

[TheNo1F1Fan]

My vote of decision goes to Ricciardo.

[Razor]

Daniel. 2nd place in pretty much one of the worst cars in the field. A damn good job.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Vettel, a commanding drive.

[Aysedasi]

Vettel - grasped his unexpected superiority and dominated.

[Marcus666]

Bernd Mayländer.

[Mekola]

Ricciardo did one of the best races of the season, albeit the Red Bull - Renault mumbo-jumbo. That was great considering the team situation, and then gets my vote.

[GT6]

Gave it to Ricciardo this time

Yes, but it's not like he got the lap back on merit, he was 'gifted' it due to stupid safety car rules.
Apart from that, he drove a good race indeed, but luck was on his side. At least, enough luck to undo his initial bad luck.

That aside, he did nothing really special, at least nothing that Sainz also didn't do.

I don't think I have many times for Vettel in the past, but this time I just have to.
I think he had more in hand if needed, while the others didn't IMO.

[Razzzor]

I wouldn't consider the RB one of the worst cars in the field, especially at Singapore. I'd say it was a very close second best, probably just a little slower than the Ferrari on the straights but slightly better in the corners.

Kyvat was also very fast, but got stuck in some traffic and then screwed in the cautions and lost positions to Nico, Lewis, Bottas, about 15-20s overall. He should have been able to do the undercut and jump Kimi and would have maybe finished 3rd.

The TR's were also very fast, as they showed at the end. On pace alone Max probably could have beaten the Mercedes. So RB/TR had those cars hooked up.

I'll give DOTR to Max. He did some nice passes and the times he wasn't in traffic was very fast, basically fastest on the track.

Second Seb, third Dani.

[TrapezeArtist]

Tricky. In many ways it seems difficult not to give it to Vettel, but there's something tells me Riciardo put in an equally good performance. So I'll give it to DR because he's a nicer person.

[ScotsBrutesFan]

Difficult one to score, Vettel dominance, Ricciardo dragging that Renault lump around with him, but Max gets it, sure helped by the safety cars, but you still have to keep your head in the game, and it would have been easy to knock a wall, or another car coming through the field.

Honourable mention must go to Button for his comedy routine on the race radio,

[F1Pete]

Kimi. No reason.

[S griffin]

Vettel

[BertMk2]

Vettel. Pretty much flawless all weekend. Verstappen would have been in with a shout had he not ignored the team - very bad form. Honorable mentions for Ricciardo, Nasr, Sainz and Button.

[Fro5TI]

Verstappen - Just for being "Ballsy" (on & off track!)
Others - Button, Bottas & Sainz

Tost already said Max was right to disobey those orders cause they thought Sainz would be faster on newer tires but he wasn't
