I've chosen Button. He keeps making his incredible comebacks from bad form. Hulkenberg was also superb. Pity about the two Saubers.

Really impossible to choose this week!
Button was dominant, Kimi was brave but a little bit of a disappointment given the hype before the race.

Vettel? Hulkenburg?! Massa?!! There were too many good drivers today.

Button was brilliant. No doubt he will garner many votes and rightly so.

I went for Schumacher because he was again so far ahead of his team-mate before the gear problem and was up further than I expected that car to be for most the race.

After a poor first half of the season, Hulkenberg had a good race. Force India always seem to be quick here for some reason.

Vettel had a stormer with some good moves.

Maldonado provided his usual comedy, this time with his extreme jump start and some kind of incident to end it all. If only you could combine his speed with Senna's brain.

Good result getting something from nothing from the STR drivers, although a lot of that is more for the team of the race thread for me.

Bad to see Grosjean not investigated. Inconsistent stewarding there.

Also Kimi was hardly the man of the race, losing places to a whole army of Germans (Hulk, Schumi and Vettel)

It has to be Vettel, immaculate race from P10 and quite amazing tire management. (it's a whole different story make a 1 stop work from pole with absolutely nothing happening around you, or making it work from P10, hence it's Vettel over JB for me)

Well, i expected to vote and be in a minority of 1, but i went for Seb, Champions drive today, it's not like the accident propelled him forward, in fact he went backwards. Had to make his way through the field, not bad for someone who apperently can't overtake !

Kudos to Jenson and Nico Hulk too.

Thats a really good point, with so many "right time / right place" drives today, Vettel actually moved backwards after the accident (all the way to P12 or even P13?) And did a heluva job avoiding it if you had a look at his start from onboard.

Vettel, from 11th on the grid and further back after the first corner crash, to 2nd on the podium, pretty impressive stuff.

Vettel for me. But Button was in a different league this weekend. Solid drives from the STR boys. Good stuff from the 'Hulk'.

Epic fails from both Grosjean and Maldonado.

Vettel for me but Button was outstanding as well. They were both quick, drove great races (repeat after me: "Vettel does not know how to pass, Vettel does not know how to pass...) AND they both made the one stop strategy work.

That, in fact, may have been the biggest part of their sucess today.

Kudos to Michael on a great drive as well, although not to take anything away from Kimi, was "The Pass" a result of the failure of 6th gear in Michael's gearbox? It just seemed his car hesitated at that moment. Heck of a pass though, no question.

It was. And it was the first time 6th gear failed Michael during the race which was crucial. He finished the race without 6th gear and F1 drivers can drive their way around problems like this, but when it fails you for the first time, of course your car will "hesitate" a bit.

It was more than obvious from the onboard cams too, an opportunist move is all it was. Michael's car failed, Kimi drove around it, Eau Rouge happened to be just there. It looked great, but knowing the circumstances it wasnt really special.

This is where they shift to 6th gear normally.
