Button. His race ruined by the regulations and that early stop.

I struggled to pick a winner, so gave it to Vettel 'cause he won despite pressure.
Rate the Race will be along shortly - having some technical gremlins. |

Button. If Vettel had managed to win on that set of tyres without the red flag/SC at the end, I would have given it to him. But after Petrov's crash he got a free pass to the chequered flag, so we'll never know if he could have won through incredible driving talent, and must attribute this one to luck.
On a side note, I am gutted about that crash. It was shaping up for a massively interesting finale. |

Glad they restarted the race though, having said that, unfortunate they were able to change tyres on the grid.. Went for Maldonardo. Great drive, pretty much sums up how motorsport is sometimes, an absolute ******* sport |

Vettel - I doubt many could have made those tyres last that many laps under that pressure. With the SC he got to give them a bit of a break so I doubt with the difficulty of passing and the marbles at that point, Jenson or Alonso could have got past.

Vettel for sure but what a great overtake by Webber on Kobayashi for 4th ,Alonso had another lightning start and Button had a solid race. Don't know what Hamilton was on but that was a crazy drive.

Thought Webber overtaking at the end impressive. Kobayashi is getting stronger I have big hopes for him and Button is back on form, almost. But I voted for Barrichello just for overtaking Schumy, that was great for old times! XD

Driver of the race: Vettel. He had Alonso pretty much under control just when the accident happened. After the first SC I thought RBR screwed him, but he drove pretty good and managed his tyres well.
Impressive drives by Alonso and Button as well. Special mentions to Maldonado, very good work! Driver of the race in the Lewis Hamilton parallel universe: Hamilton. By a mile. |

Button, I reckon - although gutted that we were denied the fight to the finish....Although Vettel undeniably drove well, can't help but feel that the (surprising, to me) opportunity to change tyres under a red flag stop helped him to luck into the win. Alonso was clearly struggling on his tyres, and they were about 20 laps fresher than Vettel's.
Interesting that Horner admitted that they sent Vettel out on the wrong tyres.... |

Vettel for me - I don't usually gho out of my way to vote for him, but I think he deserved this one. Such a shame that we were robbed of what could have been a seriously entertaining end to the race. Hamilton really needs to stop putting ilicit substances in his drinks bottle........

Jens without a doubt, changing tyres, repairing damage on the circuit? re-starting a race after a red flag? some one some where wants to get their head straightened out, rules along those lines total rubbish

Alonso for me! As for allowing mechanical work on the track during a Red Flag, especially allowing tyre changing! That's all wrong! |

Button. Alonso was good too!
Vettel was very fortunate to have the 'wrong' tyres fitted at his pit stop. But that's how it goes these days! Special mentions for Maldanado, Kobayashi and Sutil. But meanwhile, the Vettel steam roller, rolls on. |

Im surprised that noone has voted for Hamilton yet.
For me it was a cointoss between Vettel and Kobayashi. It landed on heads (Vettel) which is a shame, cause I really like Kobayashi. EDIT: Looks like I voted for Kobayashi tho. Oh well |
