    Got to be Lewis for me. He was on it all weekend and this was classic Hamilton. Aggressive when he needed to be and blindingly fast, especially on his quali lap. Good performance from Sutil and Kobayashi too.

    Hamilton without a doubt. He caught Alonso sleeping & anyone else that got in his way. A race victory that he fought for, lost, won back & defended. That's what makes a win, a special win. Fantastic drive, & was the Hamilton of old back again :cool:

    Hamilton for me also - he seemed to be very emotional after the race as well.

    Yea I agree Hamilton was in top form all weekend and the win was the cherry on the top. Great to see him back to his old self and less of the bumper car driver he had become.

    It was getting redicilus actually. Anyway, as mentioned great to see such a good drive from him. Agressive from the start, I wouldn't say that he caught Alonso napping as much as Alonso couldn't get aroung the corner any quicker with those tyres. Hamilton knew that and took him on the outside. Great driving.

    As with the majority, it could only go to Hamilton. Fantastic driving for most of the race, constantly aggressive when he had to be, not wreckless like some of his drives had been more recently. Definitely looked like the Hamilton of 2 seasons ago. Vettel wasnt on it at all this weekend, Alonso unusually got caught napping and Webber didnt quite keep up with or match Lewis this weekend.

    I think there will be some worried people in the Red Bull garage, they will have to come up with some new illegal upgrades in order to to keep ahead of Ferrari/McLaren.

    Only ones that can't be properly tested though, come on, give them some slack :p

    Nothing wrong with reinterpreting the rules!!:p

    Should make for an interesting finish though with the McLarens coming back strong, hopefully it keeps the championship interesting with Vettel securing it at the final race in controversial circumstances to keep the conspiracy theories ticking over!

    I hate to admit it but Hamilton did the best. I am following Webber but he is crap starting from pole he seems to do better when he is further down the pack

    Nah it didn't suffer any "Random" failures :pac:

    Im sure if you look at the records Vettel would have the worse reliability over the years at Red Bull :)

    Is that including his time at Torro Rosso though? They werent the most reliable cars in the world but he did an incredible job with the little he had back then IMO

    No just at Red Bull. He has had a few engine failures and break problems at Red Bull. I think i remember he finished a race with no brakes and Horner was on the radio telling him to slow down. Their was the engine problem that cost him first in Bahrain 2010, he had to slow and let Alonso take the win. This year Webber has has sad more kers problems alight.
