Has to be Kimi, although the victory was handed to him by the problem that Lewis had but it was the entertainment value of him on the radio and the first win on his return
Great drive by vettel though, driving through the field. |

Wow! Some tough choices here but there is only one clear choice: Vettel.
And yes, he can overtake quite efficiently...What a Championship fight this has been! Kudos to Kimi and Alonso. |

We await Aysedasi's vote with curiosity.
I considered Hamilton lest he be forgotten, but with only just over half the race run, I think it's not enough. Maldonado did a good job, resisted the overtakes by others and shows signs of calming down and keeping the speed, something many here naively assumed he never would. Di Resta salvaged something in the end although we had no team-mate reference and Kobayashi got some good points, but Perez outshone him on pace and a lot of retirements helped him net 6th. Raikkonen is the winner so of course he is a good option, but there are other races this year where I'd say he earned it more. Then again, he couldn't do any more. Plus, the Kimiism websites have a few new additions. Alonso was mighty again I suppose. Massa showed why Ferrari ought to have chosen someone else, but that's old ground and as long as Felipe Maurizio pays them enough, they're not bothered about the constructors' championship. |

OK - I'm wrong - Vettel hugely assisted by the Safety Car periods, and was lucky to get away with a couple of clumsy nudges through desperation.
Kimi did what he had to, and with his own inimitable style.... |

I voted Raikkonen largely because the radio communications were a total hoot.

Vettel. Starting from the pit lane, replacing the car's nose, driving through the field to 3rd. Impressive stuff. Great drive by Kimi.

Not an easy decision...Alonso for getting a 4th/5th place car to 2nd or Kimi for his radio comments? Not Vettel who benefitted from 2 safety car periods and numerous stupid incidents by others to luck into third place...

I was unsure myself, Alonso for being beaten fair and square by a Lotus or Vettel for overtaking 20 cars and popping in for a new front wing in the process. Tough one. |

Vettel for me. Sure, he can't overtake and only had luck with the SC periods, losing places at the first period and gaining none at the second. Also, he had a way better race car than everybody else. His best lap was over 0.1s!! faster on new option tires, compared to used primes on Alonsos dog of a racecar.
Mentions to Kimi for finally winning a race in 2012 and to Hamilton, who was in control, after running wide with cold tires once and almost losing the lead. |

Bang on!
Mumbles...Seb had a solid race but meh! Lucky saftey car timing, DRS passes, having your team mate shuffled unceremoniously out of your way and distinct tyre differential advantage at every overtake do not the DOtR make. Kimi all the way this weekend! Big shout for Lewis' great attitude all afternoon! Even if Lewis hadn't DNF'd and Kimi finished 2nd..I'd still have voted for him. |
