My nomination this time goes to Vitaly Petrov - great race, kept it together in difficult conditions and to top it off, passed one Michael Schumacher.

[dexterljohnthefinanceguy]

Petrov!

[8Zgkdeee]

Petrov was really great, Button obviously. Also good for Alonso (after the jump start). Rosberg and Kubica get honourable mentions too.

[Goksiodiffeli]

Why was petrov so great when he finished far behind his teammate and was slower pretty much all race long?

[detskpit]

Petrov followed by Alonso

[xanonlinexan]

Button for me, great race, right tyres at the right times, managed the conditions brilliantly, despite safety cars.

Petrov was excellent too, great racing and passing.

Lewis was quick, but too many incidents for me, pit stop release was probably ok, at the same time as vettel. not sure about the webber incident.

Rosberg drove well, but threw away the lead with a small mistake, might have been difficult to beat otherwise

thats not a bad call, Petrov raced well, but Kubica obviously had the better race

Like only 2 places behind? Petrov is a rookie in case you have forgotten.

Drive of the race goes to Button for managing to salvage it even if only by a very small margin.

.

25 seconds behind. That is a big margin.

[standaman]

25 seconds behind. That is a big margin.

Let's try again: He's a rookie and Kubica is in his 5th season. Spot the difference?

[viagradiscounttt]

button, alonso and petrov... in reverse order

So what? Did kubica perform better today than Petrov? The answer to that can only be yes. Whether one of them is a rookie or not is irrelevant.
Hamilton, Schumacher were shining against their teammates from first race on.

The world is not black and white dear Garry. Others might think different than you, and this is such a case. And that's my last word on this theme.

[Immusaatmonna]

Button, Rosberg and even if nobody noticed it, Kovalainen drove a fantastic race for Lotus, finishing only one lap down to the leaders.

[HoqCBYMl]

Petrov and Rosberg....

Just beat my boy at the end too.

You're right about Heiki, impressive drive in that car.

[allemnendup]

Rosberg for me, followed by Kubica.

[soonahonsefalh]

Overall erm.. Button

But a mention for

Button - For winning the race calmly.
Hamilton -For the overtakes and racing, held back by to many incidents again.
Alonso- After Penalty and stops finished 4th and ahead of teamate.
Kubica- Solid Drive
Petrov- Good race to score points.
Kovalainen- Only 1 lap down and ahead of a Williams
Senna - First finish and double Hispania finish, also only 2 laps down good effort.

[BariGrootrego]

well, Button was one of the donkeys (the 2nd safety car restart indiscression) but i would also say he was one of the drivers of the race, for a great performance and strategy otherwise.

honourable mentions and other candidates are kubica, petrov and Rosberg-all who drove calmly and solidly nearly all race
