    So who whose everyones driver of the day? For me it was between Vettel and Schumi with Vettel just shading it. Great race by Button again, if he had made a better start he might have challenged Vettel but I think Seb had enough in his locker to win either way. Also good to see Bruno Senna getting his first career points

    Had to be MSC for me, was some achievement to stay ahead of Hamilton in that pig of a Mercedes. Yes it has good straight line speed, but keeping Hamilton behind for that long is no mean feat no matter the car. Button also done very well imo. Vettel was untouchable really but it's really hard to know how much of that is the Red Bull and how much of it is him.

    Schumi for me. Easy enough for Vettel after a great move on Alonso. Fantastic drive by Schumacher to frustrate Hamilton for so long on merit. Great to see a bit of the 'old' Schumacher return.:)

    Completely missed the race. :mad: From what I've read today, it looks like Schumacher did a brilliant job.

    Have sat down and watched the whole race. Stunning display and a vintage performance from Schumacher. Definitely driver of the day. As for the Hamilton vs Schumacher grass "incident", completely blown out of proportion. Schumacher was in front of Hamilton and moving over to the right. Hamilton decided to enter a hole that was quickly getting smaller. Bad call on his part. Similar incident between these two last year in China, and again at an earlier grand prix this year. 3 similar scenarios and 3 - 0 to Schumacher!

    Hamilton is a good pilot but he has a habit of forgetting to think on certain occasions, especially when up against Schumacher.

    Button for me. Got with the race from 5th behind Hamilton and Schumacher and on to second place.

    Jaysus is Alonso that unpopular? He finished on the podium in - at best - the 3rd fastest team at this track...

    3rd fastest team, so he beat webber who crashed, hamilton who was held up for a long time and his own team mate. Good drive but hardly extra special.
