Driver of the race: Round 8 - British Grand Prix

Lots of guys to choose from how about Webber who came from about 16th at the first corner to almost win...Hamilton who took advantage of the safety cars to come from almost a lap down to just miss out on the podium...di Resta coming from the back row through the points...who was your driver of the day?

Hamilton without a doubt for me.

Close between Webber and Lewis but what swung it for me is that although Webber made a superb fightback he has to take some responsibility for the bad start.

It's hard for me to consider who stood out the most when there were so many great things happening around the circuit. Massa had a fantastic start. Di Resta putting in hard work to get to a decent finish in relation to where he started. Ricciardo holding his own quite well for a lot of the race too.

The tires blowing showed great skill in a lot of the drivers also with no serious accidents happening directly as a result of'em. Especially those who were around it, such as Kimi getting a faceload of rubber. And even then to see how some drivers were able to climb back up the pack after it, such as Hamilton.

Epic drive from Hamilton to be fair. I normally don't like the guy but credit where it is due.
I felt sorry for him (genuinely) when his tyre went.
As mentioned, Webber has to take some responsibility for the poor start. He also had a great race though.

I voted for Lewis for I was also very impressed with Webber (bar the start), Alonso, Massa and Ricciardo. I felt the two best moments were Webber overtaking Kimi and the control and awareness shown by JEV when his tyre went out. I thought it was masterful driving and it looked to me like he was very concious of the safety of his fellow drivers.

Massa for me even though the cameras pretty much ignored him, he was about 30 seconds behind Hamilton in last place after his puncture and worked his way back up to 6th in what was a much inferior car.

Massa for me, fantastic start and then last to 6th.

Hamilton next, Massa's start edged it for me plus Ferrari not as quick as the Merc

Hamilton for me. Was in a class of his own on Saturday and was great on Sunday. His lack of luck reminded me of the couple of denied certain wins he suffered at the end of last season.

Hard decision between Hamilton and Massa. After both had their tyres blown to finish where they did was nothing short of amazing.

However I'll give Massa this one for that huge overtaking manoeuvre on the opening lap.

Massa had a great start to the race. Went from 11th to 6th on the first lap and had the best start of all the drivers.

And on another note, someone voted Max Chilton driver of the race

Well I believe Max and Massa were joint fastest through the speed trap that's an achievement for Max, right?

Massa for me too- amazing start and then was was so far behind everyone even lewis after he came back out. Also I just read somewhere else and have to admit this passed me by during the race, so I'll have to check - but they brought Massa in for an extra stop to check his tyres - is that right?

+1.
In the past i've often been happy to see lewis get some bad luck but was disappointed with what happened him on sunday.
Brilliant drive after that and showed when he's on form he's a step above rosber
