I've only seen the BBC highlights, but I reckon Webber deserves it for a great comeback drive, to finish only 37 seconds down after the pit-stop debacle. Obviously the SC helped, but he must have really put his head down and gone for it.

Spritle, Seb never passed Webber, the got side by side but Seb always had the line, well controlled race for him but it was all management after the pitstop shenanigans I went the other Lotus driver who towed the company line, too bad he only gets 1 race out of 4 right |

jsTrecu, Where did you get the graphic? I'd love to see full laptimes for everyone through the race.
DOTR I agree Vettel. He'd already built up a full pit stop over Alonso and almost Raikkonen, so to me the race was between Vettel and Grosjean. Both did a good job, but I think Lotus was a bit quicker and better on it's tyres, and he managed to hold them off despite 2 different strategies. Webber spent a large portion of the race unable to pass even Guttierez while Vettel did have to make a number of pit-stop-overlap passes. But anyway the top 4 all drove top races. I'm surprised Alonso hung in there at the end too, after pitting so early. Who else hmmm Button did pretty well to stay within a second of Hamilton, Hulkenberg dragged the Sauber to 10th. |

Great stuff from Seb: Blew past Lewis at the start , got past Mark, held off Romain, then Kimi on faster rubber without KERS at one point, lost a bigger advantage due to a SC, had a jittery pit crew, all with the added pressure of wanting so badly to win his home GP. He kept his cool, and fought hard the entire race. Just like Silverstone, a few more laps may have changed the ending but he was flawless and well deserving... ...even though I was rooting for Alonso who gets HM. |

I voted Grosjean as he outperformed his teammate, but Vettel is much deserving as well.

Grosjean for me. Seb did a great job under constant pressure and with the "German GP" & "July win" monkeys on his back but a strong race by a usually erratic driver is the thing that stands out to me.

There can be only one - to quote Highlander - and it is Baby Schumi himself aka Fingerman Vettel. Took the lead at the start of the race, despite not getting pole, and controlled the race from then on under some difficult circumstances.
I give special mentions to Kimi, RoGro (good job on not actually hitting someone), Webber (for his comeback), Alonso(solid drive) and Button for taking that terrible McLaren into the points. |

I have to admit it! I can not think of any reason to vote for Massa this time.

He spun it, and then it just happened that the anti-stall didn't work! Out qualified and leading Alonso handily at the time too! Be interesting to see if they change the gearbox for Hungary. |

Kimi of course. If he had radio comms he would have probably stayed out with the same tires and won the race.
