Driver of the day: Round 11 Hungarian Grand Prix

So who was everyone's driver of the day?

Hamilton made no mistakes throughout, Kimi did very well to battle through the field. Grosjean looked good at times but couldn't make his tyre advantage count mid race. Bruno Senna continues to do a very solid job and deserved a strong points finish

Romain Grosjean

For me, it has to be Kimi. Great race for him, coming from 5th to within 1 sec of the leader for the last part of the race.

I hate giving Driver of the Day to a pole sitter who leads from start to finish, as there's rarely any actual racing involved for the win. So in light of that, I look further down the field for someone who has had a few overtakes to do to hit the podium....hard to see past Kimi given those parameters.

I thought he did a great job, showed his teammate who's boss, & I think the characteristics of the track only prevented the win for him today

Lewis got my vote, he did what he had to do and got his win

I'd agree with that normally but in this case Lewis rarely didn't have time to himself, someone was breathing down his neck all day and just soaked up all the pressure like a champ, unlike someone else that was having a hissy fit like a little girl on the team radio... Lewis gets my vote.

Could not agree with you more.

Roll on Spa and please let it be a dry hot day

It was last weekend in Germany when he was ready to give up after first laps problems :eek:

so yeah he can whine too.

Anyway Lewis is still awesome racing driver when he is on it.

Toss-up between Hamilton and Kimi. Lewis kept his nerve under pressure, Kimi put the foot down when he had to and when he could. Spent a lot of time on each stint behind someone and still didn't burn out his tyres.

Can't fault Hamilton's drive but Kimi gets it from me
