It can't be Nico - because of the mistake he made. Saying all of that, he did a fantastic recovery drive - but did have the car to do that sort of thing.

Superb drives from both of the McLaren drivers. That McLaren is now working a lot better with the updates. I'll give particular mention to Jenson for his drive to 4th.

Another good drive from Riccardio. After being overshadowed by his teammate in the two previous races, he is back to beating him again.

Alonso had a pretty decent drive on an alternative strategy and made it to 5th.

Someone who hasn't been mentioned - Bottas. The guy very nearly got pole. He was in second for most of the race - and drove superbly without making any mistakes - just got overtaken by a much faster car - which was sort of inevitable.

However, when all is said and done, there can be only one - Lewis. He got pole and drove the race without making any mistakes. Perhaps one of his easier wins with Nico dropping back - but it's not to take anything away from him for taking the initiative with pole on the day before. The momentum seems to have swung back to him for the WDC.
