Number of good drives in this one - Alonso to win it, Vettel's big charge etc but for mine it's Kimi - lost places on the start with some kind of car issue then got himself up to a strong 2nd with a damaged front wing - testament to not giving up and having a go.

Teflonso. Managed his whole weekend superbly. Got a great start, was darn fast, stayed out of trouble.

I'vee gone for Raikkonen,great effort to get a damaged car to a podium place.I just hope that post race scrutineering doesn't find the car to be underweight as a result of the missing parts.Sterling drive from Alonso too.

Some outstanding performances by Hamilton, Kimi, Ricciardo etc but for me the driver of the race was Mark Blundell ... Some good decisions to keep the race going instead if over punishing racing incidents.

I've given it to Ricciardo, but Alonso put in a phenomenal drive.
Top drives by Raikkonen and Hamilton once again. Gutierrez disapponting. I think Sauber should have kept Kobayashi. Hulkenberg drove well though. Good to see di Resta banking some points now too. Button did a brilliant job as well. I think I largely share your sentiments there because unless there is something ridiculous or clear breaches of rules, it's refreshing to take a "let them get on with it" approach, an approach which works if the drivers show respect and leave space, which I believe the majority of the drivers in F1 really do. It's actually a joy to watch such close but fair racing. |

Alonsi and Kimi both had good races and were my favourites in china but Ricciardo had a weekend out of the box and to finish where he did after a late pit stop was a really good performance for the boy.

how can you not give it to Vettel, wasn't even trying the whole weekend, and still sets the fastest lap.

Alonso reluctantly
Kimi had a great race too but failed to keep his nose clean for the whole race |

Alonso for me, with an honourable mention to the truck driver who brings those magnificent tyres from the factory.

Kimi, for recovering from a bad start and getting a podium with a damaged car.

Kimi of course for salvaging a tragedy, holding off Hamilton at the end and driving perfectly. However, I do have a question....I remember Kimi was behind Hamilton and then I dozed off. I woke up and Kimi was ahead of Hamilton until the end. What happened? (I just got home from a wedding party after having several beer. It was 2:45 am when I got home and the race started at 2:55am)

IIRC Kimi pitted for fresh tyres sooner.

At the risk of being accused as racist I would like to vote for Kimi. Nearly voted for Teflonso though.
