Hamilton.
Won on a track with the 3rd best car, made no mistakes and rebuilt the lead 3 times after safety cars...could have been around 40 seconds ahead otherwise. Honourable mention to Sainz |

Carlos Sainz.
Hamilton won, but with the Ferrari's and Verstappen out of the way that is not really surprising is it? Ricciardo never was the threat he (and the whole Red Bull team) suggested, and Bottas was never fast enough compared to Hamilton. Doesn't mean Lewis didn't drive a great race of course. Sainz was 4th and best of the rest. He kept a clearly faster Perez behind him for all of the race and finished in front of potentially faster cars. |

Can't go past Lulu - he avoided the turn 1 drama and drove really well from then on - top job!

Sainz did extremely well and so did Palmer (I felt sorry for the Hulk) but there comes a time when perfection has to be rewarded and all the rather glib 'well what did you expect?' comments ignored. Yes, he got lucky with the destruction derby at turn 1, but escaped that and was simply in a class of his own thereafter.

Just delighted he finally got the punishment he deserved for Baku. Will be pleased if he gets the punishment he deserves for today on another convenient occasion.

3 votes for Vettel!!!!!????? He gets my ROGP (Reverser of the Grand Prix) as well as POGP (you know that one by now).
DOGP goes to Hamilton who drove beautifully, no mistakes in really difficult conditions, and seemed to have plenty in hand over Riciardo who should have been winning if we believed the pundits. It was nice to see Sainz and Palmer getting good results but I think they were mainly the result of coming out of the first corner carnage well. |

I gave it to Sainz.. 4th with a Torro Rosso is a damn good result. Period.

Hamilton for me, yes he was very lucky (and he admitted that) to not have been caught up in the "incident" After that he used his head to keep a sensible lead right to the finish.
Also he could easily have been caught up in Vettel's spin in front of him so luck was really on his side. |

Hamilton. For him to do what he did in the 3rd best car for the weekend, was very impressive. Granted 3 of the main contenders were out before T1, but the way he managed to gap the RB of RIC - while his teammate was over a second a lap slower most of the time.
Shows that Hamilton can win even when he doesn't have the best car on the grid. |

Sainz gets the nod from me. Honourable mentions for Palmer, Vandoorne and Snoop Hammy Hamm.

I voted Sainz. That car should not have finished that high despite the carnage.
Pleased for Palmer, but cant vote for him, as he was going to be beaten by his teammate but for car issues. Hamilton of course drove very well. In fact - hats off to all the finishers here. Some of the early on board footage in the wet was pretty scary. Close armcos and wet weather. |

Kimi, obviously.
Although more seriously, Hamilton. That's as close to a perfect drive as you can get. |
