Driver of the Race - Brazilian GP
Kimi - won the title.
Massa - possible moral winner. Rosberg - terrific fourth place. Kubica - beats Heidfeld. Heidfeld - helps BMW to break the 100 point barrier. Hamilton - terrible first lap. Fightback not quite enough. Trulli - Toyota point. No really. Webber. Other. Etc... Ten Pin Bowler of the Race Kazuki Nakajima - set himself up for a possible spare with a great....err, hang on. |

Noone stood out. But Massa was the man. He was the man of the weekend

Kimi for me... WDC, solid race, did not (like someone else in a silver car) fold under pressure.

Massa on this one... another Ferrari #2 who helped his teammate to clinch the championship.

Rosberg for me - top battle with Kubica at the end of the race. Good to see Kubica passing Alonso (who was pretty atrocious by his standards all weekend) earlier too.

I have to vote Rosberg, he made my cheeks glow, Williams is, and always will be my #1 Team.
The donkey hat goes for Fisico. |

Massa made a brave sacrifice in front of his home crowd and hamilton got the rookie jitters on the first corner which discounted him for me in getting driver of the day even with his drive back from 18th after gear selection problems. Rosberg was outstanding in the race and pulled off some cracking overtaking. So Rosberg was my choice.

Rosberg for me, with honourable mentions to Kimi and Massa.
Congratulations too to Nakajima, who grabbed his F1 chance with both hands, and made sure he left a mark on his team. |

Kimi Raikkonen does not win the championship unless his wingman matches his time tenth for tenth. Massa knew that he would probably be sacrificing the win today, but that didn't stop him from giving 100% during the race. He did an admirable job in his supporting role, and one can only hope that Felipe will some day have the favor returned to him.

Rosberg it is.
Nakajima (as mentioned earlier) is sure to find a good place in a ten-pin bowling team. Fisi and Sutil will be brought before the courts for their actions. Honda are rumoured to be having a bonfire later on in the evening. And Well done to Kimi (I said it all along). |

My vote goes to Lewis Hamilton for (in the end) preserving the integrity of the World Drivers Championship.

I'm not sure. I'm going to watch it again before casting my vote.
I spent a lot of time charting Hamilton's progress on the live timing. I was naturally looking at other positions too, and Rosberg caught my eye, but I'd like to at least watch the race again before deciding. |

Kimi -Won drivers (I cant believe I just voted for Kimi)
Massa - On ya, you are a team player  I dont think Alonso would have done the sameHamilton - apart from your stuff up on 1st lap very good fight with the rest of the field (when they wern't pulling over). Shame about the stratigy and more importantly the Championship Last edited by NAC; 21 Oct 2007 at 19:23. |

Rosberg was the standout.
Unlike others I'm not so sure Kimi wouldn't have beaten Massa anyway, we won't know because neither was at 100%. As such neither can be driver of the day though. |

I voted Kimi just because he won the race and the title, against the odds. A 7 point gap was alot to overturn in one race. Rosberg, another amazing display from him. I was a fan of him in GP2 and he's just grown in stature over the past couple of seasons with Williams. They need to hang on to him if they want to get themselves back to the fore, but I can see a top team picking him up very soon. I don't think anyone told him you can't overtake in F1!!

I voted for Kimi, too, for much the same reasons. If you win the race and the title, having at one point been 26 points behind, you surely deserve to be DotR.
Otherwise, I agree it was a fantastic drive from Rosberg, by far his best to date. He and the BMW drivers deserve great credit for fighting as closely as they did without making contact |
