I'm actually finding it hard to judge drivers' performances nowadays. As was so evident today, drivers are driving way off max pace and all the decisions are made by the team over the radio. Drivers steer the cars round and the engineers advise them the pace to stick to, to hang back etc for later effort. Drivers used to have to manage their own tyres/races and just have pit-boards to assist them.
I have the same problem!

So what's your point? You state it as if it's a reason to NOT give Vettel credit for his drive, just because Hamilton got the puncture and Vettel didn't get damaged. It wasn't Vettels fault in the first place, Hamilton changed lines, not Vettel.

2 stops was the best strategy, particularly staying out longer to get the fresher tyres at the end.

So was Webber, who was in front of him. He didn't do a great recovery. Vettel made passing Grosjean look easy, doing it within 1 lap. Webber took several laps, on the softer tyres and a time when Grosjeans tyres were in much worse condition, and when he was getting mixed up with backmarkers.

But good Vettel drives to victory are becoming common, and if Webber was on a 2 stop, Vettel probably would have never got by. So I'll give it to Grosjean instead, he finished a long way in front of Kimi.

Gutierrez finishing 20secs behind Hulk is something he should be doing every race, not getting DOTR for it.

Kimi absolutely! He was the only one who actually passed people on several occasions. The move he made on Hulkenburg passing in a spot where no one ever does. Kimi was the only one who made things interesting. I think he enjoys starting at the back end of the top ten to maintain his motivation for racing.

Grosjean's my pick. Spirited drive and absolutely well done.

Vettel is pretty much my last choice given this race looked like a completely half-arsed attempt compared to the last four.

I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel...

My comment was purely about luck and the way the chips tend to fall. When you're on top, you get the luck. That's all.

2 stops was the best strategy, particularly staying out longer to get the fresher tyres at the end.

Clearly so!

So was Webber, who was in front of him. He didn't do a great recovery. Vettel made passing Grosjean look easy, doing it within 1 lap. Webber took several laps, on the softer tyres and a time when Grosjeans tyres were in much worse condition, and when he was getting mixed up with backmarkers.

Indeed.

So I'll give it to Grosjean instead, he finished a long way in front of Kimi.

Agreed.

Well he was suspended for being a "big john" at the starts last year.

It's more 'fat' than 'big'.
