Mine goes to Rosberg, the only 'team' man of the first four finishers

Quite a tough one today. Jenson was on for a decent result when it all went wrong at the stop. I think Grosjean and Hulkenberg did well today, the former almost unnoticed by the TV cameras. Vergne's 17th to 10th wasn't bad either.

However, I'm going to stick with my gut instinct and say Webber. Got a decent start for a change and made up ground. Didn't rush to the slicks like Vettel did and made it pay off by jumping him. Controlled the race pretty well and gritty defence at the last pitstops when he and Vettel ended up right together and the race was still reasonably up for grabs. And still made Vettel work very hard for it even when he wasn't really expecting to have to.

In the context of the team telling him that the racing was called off and they were to bring the cars home in order, he'd done everything he needed to do. And for sheer entertainment pre, during and post podium with his comments, top work!

Hmm. Cna't be Vettel for obvious reasons. Could have been Webber for a great drive. Hamilton was on the podium only because Rosberg followed team orders and stayed behind him. Could have been Rosberg but he only finished fourth in the best car in the race.

My vote went to Grosjean for driving through half of the field and out performing Raikkonen in the Renault with all the good bits on it

Webber, for being a number two driver.

[White Lightning]

Grosjean for an excellent under-the-radar drive.

The kid has it, been saying this for a while now. He'll grab a win this season.

[eduisfine]

Webber.
For a great start and for resisting the urge to punch blondie in the face.

I had TV issues and 'watched' the GP on the F1 app. All sorts of fun with missing times making it look like a driver had gone off or been overtaken. Gremlins notwithstanding it was better than missing the race altogether

I voted Webber. From what I was able to "see" with lap times, he got in front of Vettel and pretty much controlled his pace and the race until the final lap shenanigans. Vettel ... well enough has been said. Hamilton will have to work to keep in front of Rosberg - promises to be interesting.

The Mercs are looking more competitive this season. Kimi's Lotus looks a definite challenger, Ferrari have improved and McLaren are still a question mark. This season could be one helluva ride!

Webber and JB did everything right.

Part of me thinks that Vettel has 1% of a point that he'd planned to take the softer tyres at the end and attack, but it's his own fault for not knowing they wouldn't be allowed to race (sic).

Vettel basically didn't have it all his own way, and did a bit of interpretive pram-toy-evacuating.

Another vote for Mark if only for tolerating Vettel showing a side that perhaps shouldn't exist let alone be so blatantly acted upon.
