It's funny how drivers tend to get a bit flustered when the blue flags aren't waved for them(I remembering back a few years to Austin 2012 and the Vettel versus Hamilton battle - when Vettel wanted them)?

Some impressive drives today :-

Alonso : for driving that piece of garbage that is the McLaren up to 7th. We know that he is quite good in wet conditions, but he took a car that didn't belong there to that position.

Sainz Jr. : took a brace decision to start on slicks and slightly messed up at the beginning of the race. However, he sort of came alive towards the middle and end stints.

Vettel : made a poor start and wasn't helped by the bad timing of the pitstop but, he managed two non-DRS passes and not only beat his teammate but finished back up in second to still tie for the WDC.

Max : this young guy has some talent. Starting from so low down the grid. Clearly, like Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso he is very good in the wet. Good overtakes(especially on Kimi and Danny). Possibly he could have taken second, if the team had pitted him earlier than Vettel? A really strong drive.

Hamilton : Took pole, lead every lap and won the race. He done the "Triple" and one of eight drivers in F1 to do it. What more could you want? A flawless performance from him this weekend. That's why I gave him DOTOR.
